“I’d say it could be worse but I have no idea how.”

The artist brushed past, although hearing Millard call out the lie caused him to stop and turn around. His servant had his arms crossed, and was looking at him the same way a mother would glare disapprovingly at her child. The older man had enough to deal with without someone younger than himself speaking to him in such a manner. Even though it lasted for but a moment, the posture did not go unnoticed.

He lifted a finger and gestured towards the blond. “Don’t. Don’t you ever make that pose again.” He replied with a cutting tone.

The frown on his face deepened a little. It was certainly a change of pace, to have someone actually concerned about his well being. But at this point, it hardly seemed to register, given everything else he had lost at this point. “My personal life isn’t your business, Millard. Your business is keeping this house clean.”

P.S: Edith is wondering how your prosthetic is holding up, and if it needs any repairs. (She was watching over my shoulder to make sure I write this...)

The painter had called out to Millard earlier that day - or was it last night? Time never made sense when he was busy in his workshop. Nevertheless, the butler had not responded at all, which was an extremely rare occurrence. Fearing something might have happened, the artist took a step out of his den, only to spot a very obvious note left on the dining room table.

He promptly went over and scooped it up, reading it intently for Millard’s whereabouts. Well, that answered that. Times were difficult right now, and he would have to be left alone for a little bit. Mist was too busy raising a child to stop by, and Claire hadn’t returned to the house in a good while either. Strange...he had so long craved peace and quiet when he was working alongside his family, but now that they (and his adopted family) were gone, he felt a strange emptiness.

Is this what it feels to have empty-nest-syndrome?

Still, there was encouragement in the note, and the painter couldn’t help but smile slightly at it. Ever the optimist, his faithful servant. Even if he was skeptical of his works these days despite the compliments, it still meant a great deal to read something like that.

Grabbing a nearby pen, the older gentleman wrote a response on the blank bottom-half of the note, for Millard to read whenever he returned.
