"Must it always be the butler, Shizuku?"
"Butle- What?"
"Yes, true. Maid is more accurate, in our case."
"I don't understand what you're trying to say."
"Were all the years of faithful servitude too much? The years of caring for us, guarding our health, did they engender bitterness?"
"Who are you talking about?!"
"You see Shizuku, I have discovered, while eating this meal, that I have begun to feel rather...odd. Sick, perhaps. Something in this meal refuses to settle. A sort of poison, do you think? Meant to prolong no doubt grievous suffering?"
"If you're feeling sick then STOP EATING!"
I know these aren't as great as real, long chapters for the other fics, but hey! Give me a break here! I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that a sleeping pattern of "stay awake for 48 hours then sleep for 16 rinse and repeat" isn't healthy. Or conducive to lengthy writing. (Ignoring that the first day of this sleeping pattern I seem to have adopted was, actually, spent mostly writing. -cough-) I am currently in the "stay awake for 48 hours" part of my cycle. Night shifts. Fun times. Since I'm too lazy to work on my other stuff, or send it out for feedback (not that I ever get it anyway), you shall have to settle for drabbles.
