Words: 100
Artemis lifted his fingers from the keyboard as Juliet laid the cup of tea on his desk. He looked up at her, smiling a smile that actually reached his eyes. "I've cracked it." Juliet knew this was the Artemis equivalent of jumping up and down, screaming.
"You weren't still working on that? But you know I don't like you being involved in that sort of business."
He glanced at the band of gold on her left hand. Aurum potestas est. The fire died in his eyes and he deflated a little.
"It was merely an intellectual puzzle. Don't worry yourself."
Title: Formality
Prompt: #7 - Water

Characters: Artemis, Timmy, Angeline, Butler, Juliet

Quite suddenly, one evening six-year-old Artemis declared, "I'm going to marry Juliet."
Fowl Senior, hidden behind the financial pages, twitched the newspaper to peer over the top. He caught his wife's gaze and vanished again.
Angeline spoke hurriedly. "She's a hired hand now, Arty dear. It wouldn't be proper for you to marry her." She glanced at Butler, reading in the corner. Her words had been cold but her expression told a story that no six-year-old, not even Artemis, could understand.
"Then I shan't marry anyone," said little Artemis. Angeline gave him a sad smile and turned away.
And if it wasn't clear from the drabbles, I used water in the sense of "pouring water on" something, i.e. extinguishing it. I actually wrote the second one first, but didn't think it made the use of the prompt clear enough, so I did another. Hurrah for random interpretations!
