It’s strange . I spend all day ensuring everyone else is comfortable, yet when someone offers the same courtesy, I hardly know what to do with it .

… I suppose you aren’t wrong, [ they murmur . ] It’s admittedly … difficult, I suppose, to know when I should take a moment . When one’s entire life is duty, even rest begins to feel like rebellion .

[ she swirls the drink once, taking a careful sip . the taste lingers, and so does her smile—

But if this ends with me matching your pace, I expect you to take responsibility for the aftermath .

… Hm .

[ he hesitates, the tiniest flicker of uncertainty crossing his usually composed face . then, after a quiet sigh, his posture softens . ]

Very well . 𝘖𝘯𝘦 drink .

[ she reaches for a second glass, methodical even now, pouring with practiced precision, refilling spamton’s as well . ]

It would be … unprofessional, of me, to relax while under her employ . . .

… You make a fair point .

[ a quiet admission, averting his gaze . there’s a long pause . her features betray a rarely seen hint pf anxiety . ]

Still … a butler’s duty is never truly over . Should Her Majesty require something, I must be ready at a moment’s notice .

Mm … not particularly .

[ a quiet hum as they wipe down the counter, letting the silence linger just long enough to feel deliberate . ]

The café is closed, the Queen is occupied, and the Swatchlings have long since gone to rest . Why ?

[ they lean against the counter, posture relaxed, eyes following the motion of spamton’s glass with quiet intrigue . ]

… and I would hate to see you lose a wager with your own body .

Handle it ? Oh, I’ve no doubt you can,

[ he replies smoothly, tone dipped in amusement as he folds a napkin beside the glass, his movements unhurried, deliberate . ]

But you do have a talent for testing limits, my friend …

[ pouring another, before repeating the motion of sliding it over to him . ]

There . A triple, as before . But this one, [ she adds, voice lowering just a shade, ] comes with a warning . It’s stronger than it looks—and I’m not looking to carry you home if it gets the better of you .

✎𓂃⠀𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆⠀。 @swatchpalette.bsky.social · 3d

Another already ?

[ a quiet hum, thoughtful rather than disapproving . he collects the glass with deliberate grace, brushing his fingertips briefly in the exchange—just long enough to register warmth before moving away . ]

Very well … I suppose I will enable you, since you seem like you need it .

Careful, though, my friend … Too much flattery, and I may begin to think you enjoy my company as much as my cocktails .

Ah—so I’ve outshone your other establishment, have I ?

[ a quiet chuckle, rich and smooth, like the liquor itself . ]

I’ll admit, I do take much pride in my craft … A drink should be more than a distraction—it should have … presence .

[ he leans subtly against the counter, feathers brushing the …

If all you wish for is a drink and a moment’s quiet, you’ll have both .

[ after a pause, his voice drops just enough to be heard over the clink of ice . ]

Though … for what it’s worth, I do appreciate that you listened .

✎𓂃⠀𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆⠀。 @swatchpalette.bsky.social · 3d

Ah—of course . My apologies .

[ a small, soft smile tugging at their beak . ]

I tend to … observe more than I should . Occupational hazard, I suppose . Comes from serving too many souls who think a drink will do what rest cannot .

… Still, I won’t pry .

Art invites strong opinions, and I value yours . You seek calm in form; I enjoy indulging freedom in color . Both have merit, depending on the canvas one stands upon .

Think nothing of it, Miss .

These ensembles were only for my personal use, in any case . A small indulgence in chaos while off duty . Within the mansion, I must maintain symmetry and order—even when Her Majesty delights in the opposite .

[ straightening their gloves, tone light but sincere . ]

Many Darkners can do Shadow Crystal-esque behaviors without the crystal itself, it's just the madness it creates in hyper-awareness of the world that defines something terrible

That's why Swatch was unaffected by the one residing in their own creation! The crystal was made from hope-
