[ It's a decision he's rather pleased with, though he would hardly have expressed that or imposed to influence it. He's a conversationalist by nature, after all. All that feels missing would be serving her tea, though that's definitely more his habits as a perfect butler than anything else. ]

They allow us a surprising amount of freedom not only in our actions, but taking our input is surprising. I cannot say whether it is a good or a bad thing, but it is simply different. And with what you say, I suppose that is especially true for you.

[ He considers what to say next, but ends up breathing out a soft laugh ]

I certainly would not mind for more cohesion, regardless. Though considering that would mean more orders given than opinions asked, I imagine that is not a popular hope for our direction.

[ There's no outward reaction to being identified as not being human, but inwardly, he's a little pleased by that. In part, it has nothing to do with her, but is more just his pure, simple enjoyment at being much more free than he usually is. He doesn't mind his contracts considering he's ultimately the one that benefits, but still... There's something quite refreshing about making decisions about what he says and does without factoring in a third party. Or at least not so heavily. ]
