Prompt: Hero/Artix "Last time I ask you for a favor!"
Black and silver eyes scanned the room, forward and back and forward once more, and still failing to comprehend what it was that they were seeing.
"Artix," Hero began slowly, "why is my cleaning staff currently littering the floor?"
The paladin squirmed under her gaze. To be expected. Despite having the name Hero (something that she'd gotten many comments about, and every single one of them had become old rather quickly), she held the skills and armor of a doomknight. Much the same as their enemy did. And doomknights tended to have a rather—unnerving presence.
"Artix."
He laughed nervously. "Well, you see the thing is that I, uh…"
He squirmed some more, and though she couldn't blame him she was starting to get annoyed by his stalling.
"Artix." She repeated.
"…I kinda thought the skeletons were invading your home."
What.
"Well you have been so kind so far that I thought maybe you did not employ undead."
What.
"You thought that I—" she began.
"Hero, I am really sorry—"
"—an accomplished doomkinght—"
"In my defense you act rather nicely—"
"—a being attuned to the Plane of Darkness itself—"
"Hero please—"
"To not have skeletons in my employment?!"
He stared at her, mouth open and hand raised, and simply said, "Yes?"
Hero groaned. Unfortunately, this too was understandable. She'd been coming home to various dark creatures wandering the halls lately, and had asked his assistance in determining where they were coming from. Artix had merely assumed her cleaning staff to be among the intruders.
"This is the last time I ask you for a favor." She said plainly, and he apologized once more.
Now how was she going to clean up her cleaning staff?
NOTE: Those of you familiar with my tumblr would know I mod a blog called Imagine Dragonfable, basically just little prompts and stuff for amusement. One such prompt was doomknight/deathknight/necromancer Hero and Artix, and it was too cute not to use for an actual prompt drabble. Who knows, we might see more of Doomknight Hero in the future.
