Book 1 Butler around his boss, who happens to be an adolescent:

Book 8 Butler around his boss, who is still an adolescent:

#Artemis fowl #idk man it's just really funny to me how their interpersonal relationship as the series progresses #essentially boils down to 'they each get more chill' #especially since Book 1 Artemis had to TALK HIMSELF OUT OF BEING OFFENDED #AFTER BUTLER SNAPPED AT HIM FOR DRUGGING BUTLER'S SISTER #and like...Book 1 Artemis scolded Butler for one (1) false lead #in Artemis's (at the time) unfounded quest for magic #In Book 3 Artemis was surprised Butler offered personal comments! #and then by Book 8 Butler apparently swears like a sailor #around his young impressionable charge #who also happens to be his BOSS #and Artemis has no comment. he's just like #'Alright yeah that's fair. After everything I've put him through Butler can swear a little. As a Treat.'
