Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"Thank you, you're so kind." She gives him a hug. Then she thinks better of that "Oh, I'm sorry, is that not appropriate?"

As she tries to make sense of the contract, she asks "Do you know any local ecomancers? One of my sisters told me I might enjoy meeting them."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, I'm sorry, is that not appropriate?"

"Well, it isn't ordinary, but I certainly don't mind. You are quite a sensual woman, after all."

"Do you know any local ecomancers? One of my sisters told me I might enjoy meeting them."

"Ecomancers? We don't have any of those deluded fools in here--at least not any I know."

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles "Good, I don't want to offend anyone."

Unless she sees something obiously wrong with the contract, she will sign it.

"Ecomaners were just a thought. It is an interesting curiosity for a nymph you understand." She smiles. "If they're as rare as you say, I'm sure they'll stick out in a crowd."

She finishes signing her contract and hands it back to him. (Unless, as stated earlier, she saw something wrong).

 

[Rystil Arden]

*There's nothing wrong with the contract, except that she agrees to accept any forfeiture within the extent of the law if she breaks the contract by leaving without completing the month's term or stealing merchandise, etc, which shouldn't be a problem at all if she plans on following contract.*

"Yes, they would most certainly stick out, I think."

 

[Bront]

"What does this Forfeiture thing here mean? I don't plan on leaving early, but I want to know what this means."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Basically, agreeing to this just means that you can't go to the courts and say you didn't know what was in here, which some people might try. So if you try to breach contract, you would basically have no case in court to prevent yourself from paying the penalty. But you don't plan on cheating us, right? So there won't be a problem for you. It requires something seriously dishonest like ceasing working before the month is up or stealing or showing up but then being incredibly negligent and sleeping all day or something to go to court."

 

[Bront]

"Well, I don't intend to do any of it, but I swear to you that if something does happen, I will settle it with you as fairly and quickly as I can." she says as she signs the contract with the name Springborne.

She smiles brightly "So, when do I start? And what do I call you?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, you can start training a bit now in practise, and I'll have you watch an experienced auctioneer tomorrow. Then, we'll have you try one auction, and if you do well, you can start then, okay? Oh, and you can call me Lhazryn."

 

[Bront]

"Thank you Lhazryn." she says, and gives him another hug.

"What exactly do you sell here anyway?" Vasha asks, not realizing she had forgotten to ask such an obvious question.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You're welcome, Ms..." he looks at her name on the contract, "Springborne, or should I call you Vasha?"

"Oh, we sell slaves."
