[ There's a small list of agreements written neatly and legibly:

Neither Tyr nor Rita will take their bets seriously. Both parties reserve the right to be sore los call off the bet at any time.

Rita will only feed Tyr meat when he is a dog any carnivorous animal.

Tyr will not steal Rita's underwear while cursed. He will replace any that he takes!!

Rita will bathe at least three times a week.

Tyr will make sweets at least three times a week.

Rita will

And the pencil is just laying there when Tyr finally talks: ]

--Forget it! We'll never get this sent off at this rate.

[Rita's voice grumbles in response as she slams a hand against the page.]

Of course we won't if you keep making up dumb stuff like this--you're just scared you'll lose another bet, aren't you?!

[And now she jostles the device, which she had turned on.]

I bet everyone else in the City agrees with me!

[ And that just makes Tyr's face go red as he shoots back: ]

And making candy isn't pointless?! Go ahead and ask if you're actually that sure--And make a bet out of it!

Sh-shut up! --Fine, just get ready to lose!

[Well, City, what do you think? >:|b]

The contract might make her have to remember, though. And it's the basic ones that I don't want her to forget about...

[errandry]

Only if she cares that much about the contract...

[blackshadow]

She should; she wrote it too. And once she signs it, she'll have to care at least a little...

[errandry]

And you guys are totally sure about signing, huh.

[blackshadow]

Why wouldn't we be? If we agree to follow everything on it, signing is no problem.

[errandry]

No reason! But you're not making it official or anything today?

[blackshadow]

The only way it won't be done today is if Rita keeps fighting over the terms of the agreement. There's no reason to keep putting this off...

[errandry]

Isn't that pretty rushed...?

[blackshadow]

No way. We've been seeing each other for a year; we need to start hurrying this along at this point.

[errandry]

I meant the agreement! What if you wanna take back a condition tomorrow?

[blackshadow]

Then we'll have to agree to strike it out. They lawyers can't make us actually follow the agreement.

[errandry]

Oooor you could wait a day just to make sure and sign it then, right?

[blackshadow]

That won't be a permanent solution, though. We might change our minds a week from now, but I don't want to wait that long to get this notarized.

[errandry]

—up to you, I guess! Uh, good luck... getting it over there?

[blackshadow]

...Thanks.

Who are you, anyway?

[errandry]

Oh— [ yeah, this is a weird conversation to be having with a guy whose name you don't actually know. ]

Mikura Kazu. Just Kazu works.

[blackshadow]

[ It sure is. Let us get acquainted. ]

Kazu, then. I'm Tyr, and my fiancée's Rita.

[errandry]

Nnnice to meet you both? Congratulations, too.

[blackshadow]

Nice to meet you too, I guess...

Are you with anyone?

[errandry]

... what, as in with-with?

[blackshadow]

There aren't other kinds of "with"...

[errandry]

There's with like "next to"! Pretty sure that counts! And nah, I don't have anybody like that.

[blackshadow]

I can tell you're not next to anyone... [ That would be awkward for the other person. ] But if you're not in a relationship, you can't really understand all of this.

[errandry]

The insufficient-experience card, huh. Well, the part with the conditions sounded pretty clear.
