Artemis was carefully tending to the Venus flytraps his pet had him nurturing in the greenhouse when he suddenly felt the hairs of his nape standing up and evil eyes glaring at his back. “Rule #23.5 Verbal abuse from Masters should be considered a serious offense and violators should be sanctioned accordingly.” He turned around, saying in exasperation, “I haven’t even said anything yet.” She continued glaring at him. He threw his hands up. “What do you want me to say, pet? I’ve already apologized for that incident, have I not? I have expressed my support for this proposal of yours–” “The sanction for this offense is for a Master to serenade his pet in public.” His brow shot up. She said seriously, “And it has to be a Sam Smith song. No one sings love songs like Sam Smith, Master.”
