Artemis looked over his steepled fingers at Butler.
"Werewolves, Artemis?" Butler queried, frowning in disbelief. He should have known better.
"Yes of course Butler." Artemis snapped. "Moving on, I believe the priestess will be there."
Butler put a hand on his shoulder. "Artemis, this girl, she—"
"I am well aware of the dangers, Butler…" Artemis said softly. "I could very well anger the Hikawa Clan and bring the might of the LEP down on me. However, considering the fact that I saved her, perhaps Miss Ava will be more forgiving."
"Was that a joke sir?"
Artemis smiled. "Yes."
"It wasn't funny."
"It wasn't?" Mock surprise. "Perhaps I should read more joke books then."
It was then that Butler noticed the sheer abundance of books in the room. "Exercising your new gift, eh?"
"Of course." Artemis smiled. "I have plans to build a large library to sate my endless cravings."
Artemis stood, and took a suitcase from the desk. "I trust you are ready to leave, Butler?"
Butler nodded.
