Book: Eh ... a date?
Katharina: Just ignore her. Can you give me those notes? I need to discuss the next steps with the other two. Shara, can you stay here and watch the equipment? It's ... pretty expensive.
Shara: Sure.
<Katharina takes the notes and leaves>
---
Book: Well then I'm just going to -
Shara: <puts a hand on his shoulder> - STAY HERE for a moment.
Book: ... I am?
Shara: You are.
---
Book: Ehrm. Well ... of course, what can I do for you Shara?
Shara: You're not calling me "Miss"?
Book: You ... told me NOT to?
Shara: Smart boy. Now tell me: Why are you suddenly playing Kat's assistant? Ain't you here for Lady V?
---
Book: I am, yes. BUT. Er. You see ... I didn't actually get any well defined duties aside from having an eye on her investment. So I thought I might as well make myself useful, right? And Miss Grauch's work is so fascinating! and she does seem to ... TOLERATE MY COMPANY, so ... er ... there is nothing wrong with that, right?
Shara: Depends.
---
Shara: <she leans in to threaten him> If you try ANYTHING funny with her ... be it her WORK or HERSELF ...
Book: I assure you -
Shara: SHUT UP! If you try anything I'll NAIL YOUR TONGUE TO A TREE AND LET YOU GET EATEN BY AKARPAS! Got it?
Book: ... got it, ma'am. Loud and clear.
---
Shara: <sits down again> Now if you wanna kiss her ass some more, bring her something to eat.
Book: That's a great idea Shara, I'll go do that!
Shara: ... And for me too while you're at it.

Alt-text: "Yes, Book, Kat wants to tolerate you so hard ..."

Ah yes, Shara is showing her love the way she is used to. Interesingly enough, Book seems to handle death threats pretty well ... probably not the first one he heard working in Lady Vs estate.

Announcement: As I said last week, I'll take the next twoo weekends off and just post some sketches. So the next regular update will be on January 11th! Have some happy holidays everyone!

  1. Heh. Poor Book …
    And who would have though Shara cares that much for the little princess in the mean time!
