*she asked with a slight nervousness*"Is there a chance that we can be friends?"
*mischievous grin* "Such a change of heart? Are you sure that you don't any other hidden reservations about me?"
"Yes. I mean no. I mean yes, I'm quite sure I have no further objections..."
"I hope so. Do you have any idea what lengths I went through to..."
"To? You did what for what?"*her interest had heightened*
"Oh nevermind." *kisses* "Yes, we can be friends."
"Oh? Well, I'm glad."
"Indeed. We could also be... friends with benefits..."
"Oh goodness no!" *she began to blush at the thought*
"Ah well. It's your loss! I could've protected you..."
"I don't need protection!"
"There we go again! You act modest but in that, you neglect your own safety!"
"Oh like you would know..."
"Why yes I would. How else would I know how to tend to our guests..."
*she blushed at the thought; what did the butler mean...*"I don't quite follow..."
"It's better not to worry about it."
