001- Resignation
"He resigned?" This here was a question of disbelief, because servitor units did not simply resign from their duties—the EDEN did not approach Geetz and offer him the position to be Sera's personal attendant with the option of turning it down for other pursuits; that was his assigned duty. Resignation was unheard of, and speaking frankly, who the hell was he to make that decision on his own terms?
Yuna looked over the slip of parchment that had been found posted against Geetz's door (How old fashioned of him), glanced at Sera to gauge her sister's stoic expression and responded with a tentative nod.
"Looks like it." Yuna very much wanted to laugh, but for the sake of Sera's dignity she chose to squash the impulse before it could take hold. Still, "What did you do to him?"
Any way you looked at it Geetz was the perfect servitor— always obedient without question, and quick to attend to Sera's every whim and decree, whether it be seemingly inconsequential tasks like the preparation of her morning coffee, her afternoon tea, and the occasional nightcap (only he was privy to the last one), or essential duties like keeping her posted on council meetings and the like. Never once did he hint at any dissatisfaction with his position.
"Nothing has ever changed in our daily interactions." Sera stated coolly. "I've only held him to carrying out the necessary tasks and nothing more. In comparison to the burdens you place on Gatz—"
"Burdens? I do no such thing." Yuna denied the offhand accusation indignantly. Gatz was only too happy to help her with everything she asked of him. Everything. "Gatz likes to be helpful, so I assist him with being helpful by being in constant need."
"Yes." Master at sarcasm that Sera was, it was almost impossible to tell when she chose to employ it. "Of course."
"Anyway," Yuna went on sweetly, "You'll be needing a replacement, won't you?"
"Seems so." Sera replied, at that moment becoming quite aware that Geetz had taken his leave without the decency of preparing her a cup of coffee before doing so. "How does Gatz prepare your coffee?"
"I don't do coffee, actually."
Sera's left eye might have twitched. "Of course you don't."
