[She expected nothing more than suspicion. That proves he's not stupid and naive, at least -- a Master like that would be trouble because she'd actually have to keep an eye out for him. BB isn't playing up her kouhai act this time. She's serious and she speaks with the appropriate gravity.]

I'm a spirit.

[Better to not say "Servant," because explaining that terminology would be too confusing if he's truly from another world.]

I can't remain in this realm unless I have enough magical energy.

[That's not quite true but it's not quite false, either. She needs that extra magical energy to enact her plans.]

I've been looking and looking, and--

[She lets her voice trail away, as if hesitating.]

--I thought someone from the coven could help me.

[lohengrins]

[ a spirit. his expression has yet to shift, and he maintains eye contact as she spokes. her intentions seem earnest enough, however--... ]

How would you acquire this magical energy?

[ he tilts his head the slightest bit. ]

And what would happen if you were unable to attain it?

[eternai]

[BB gives a small, if somewhat reserved smile. Play it cool, girl.]

I only need a contract. If I don't find a person to agree in time, I'll fade away.

[She makes sure to glance off to the side.]

... but that's okay. You shouldn't feel obligated to help me.

[lohengrins]

[ why does he feel vaguely annoyed? no idea at this point in time. ]

And what exactly does this contract entail.

[ he cocks a brow. girl... ]

[eternai]

[Poor, poor Percival.]

Stranger-san is so cautious! But he doesn't need to worry. It's only a verbal agreement. I'll ask, "Are you my Master?" And you'll say "yes" or "no."

[WHAT CAN GO WRONG]

[lohengrins]

It's a contract, meaning there are mandates and loopholes. You're searching for a Master, but I need to know what being your Master would entail.

[ HE WANTS ANSWERS, GIRL. ]

[eternai]

[. . .]

You're awfully picky.

[lohengrins]

Answer me.

[eternai]

[Her smile becomes a shade sharper, her true demeanor bleeding through. Just for a second, though. In a flash, she covers it up.]

If you're worried about being tricked into a contract that'll place you at a disadvantage, I'll be honest with you. A "Master" possesses three command seals which a spirit like me must obey, regardless of how I feel. Consider that your insurance.

[BB speaks coolly, having dropped the cute girl act.]

I'm essentially placing myself under your command for the sake of magical energy. Is that enough for you, Mister...?
