Artemis nodded back to his master. While he didn't fully approve of just letting the gardener had the rest of the day off on his first day of official work. The man needed his work. He needed work like none other, and he was horribly honest and modest. This morning, even as he arrived for work from wherever he was from, he was in the same rags that he was in when he had first met the man. He told Artemis that the clothes on his back were just fine, and that his money would be used for food and upkeep of the greenhouse. It was a little saddening, actually, such a poor man in the cold season that didn't even use his generous new sum of money to buy himself better clothing. If it got any colder, which it would without a doubt, Artemis would have to make it mandatory for the man to wear warmer clothing and possibly sleep somewhere in the estate, if allowed by Marilyn, of course. 

However, before he could deal with the gardener, he needed to find and release Eros from his confines within Marilyn's room. Her room was the closest objective, so he would complete it first.

As he came back to his master's room, Artemis opened the door without any pause for knocking or anything. He knew nobody should be there other than the adorable Python. Some might not be able to see a giant, albino snake adorable, but he could not see how people didn't find the snake to be adorable. he squatted at the side of the bed and hunched forward to an almost impossible angle. As his hand reached the skirt of the bed and pulled it up, he could see the snake slithering about underneath the bed. With little hesitation, he reached forward and grabbed the snake, pulling its ten feet of length out from under the bed and out into the hall. 

He smiled at the snake. "Have a good day, Eros." he spoke before walking away, off to find a chess set to put in the room as Marilyn requested.

As his chores finished for the day, including meeting the gardener for a second time that day, Artemis checked the time using a large clock. It was a little after seven in the evening, which worried Artemis. He needed to get to the front door and greet Marilyn's grandmother. 

With his demonic speed, he flashed through the corridors, moving to the front room as quick as possible. He stopped strategically several feet into a corridor that led to the front room, and proceeded to walk out with grace, just in time to see the door fly open and the new maid get his from said door. He watched as Avelina guided her, and walked from a distance. He silently plotted their course, and used his speed again once he was out of sight.

He then walked out of the intersection into another corridor, just to meet Avelina and Margaret, who definitely had no relation to the gardener with the same surname. 

"I'm terribly sorry for my lack of presence." He bowed to the both of them. "I was tasked with seeing your arrival, and my duties continued to longer than I anticipated. I am Artemis Penrose, Lady Marilyn's personal servant." As he rose, a small, unassuming smile appeared on the butler's face. 

"Shall we go and see Lady Marilyn?"
