Artemis stared at her, fascinated. "So you are the fabled Fox of Fortune."
Reiko hissed at him. "Yes, what of it."
"So she is a fairy?" Butler asked.
"Not one of the official families." Artemis said. "She is a yokai. They often resemble animals. But her power is great. Aren't you around six hundred years old?"
"How did you—-"
"Your tails." Artemis smiled.
"My glamour!" Reiko growled, trying to put up her flickering glamour and failing with Butler looking at her. She wanted him to see. Artemis, not so much.
"It is alright, Reiko." Butler said. "Artemis will not harm you."
There was a silence from the youth, unaccustomed to being commanded.
"Y-Yes." Artemis said uncertainly, looking from Reiko to Butler. "I will not harm you."
Reiko moved closer to Butler. He would protect her.
