Merlose may not get -why- contracts are a part of things, but never let it be said that she's not game for it.
Also don't trust her to do any of your legal work.
IN THE MATTER OF
Citizen Kethaera Chief Librarian Emissary of Order
and
Citizen Merlose Minister of Education Windseeker of the Lodestar
ROMANTIC INCLINATION AGREEMENT
The above parties, hereafter referred to as "Kethaera" and "Merlose" respectively, do hereby agree to the following:
1) The two are involved in a mutual, exclusive romantic relationship for the purpose of friendship and companionship and other romantic things. This relationship and the parties involved may be variously described as "dating", "a couple", "an item", "together", "sweethearts", "girlfriends" or other terms as agreed upon.
2) The two may refer to each other using cute nicknames and terms of endearment as deemed appropriate. If an affectionate name turns out to be annoying to one party, the other will stop using it at once. Kethaera agrees that Merlose may refer to her as "Keth" during informal conversation. Merlose agrees that Kethaera may call her "Em", or "Mer" or "Merl" as desired during conversation.
3) The two agree to support each other in their endeavours in whichever way the other needs, be it emotional support, spending time together, listening to problems, or helping out in some way as agreed on.
4) The two agree that it's okay to send and receive gifts and tokens of affection to and from each other.
5) The two agree that certain signs of affection (such as hugs, holding hands, and Kethaera sitting on Merlose's shoulders) are okay, even in a public space where someone might see them, unless the situation makes it really inappropriate somehow.
6) At the discretion of either party after due consideration to the course of the relationship, one or the other may offer the other a special item, chosen by the offering party, to be accepted as a sign of moving the relationship to the next level of formal engagement with plans of marriage.
A slightly belated rave, @Uzriel aka the greatest and most awesomest person ever bought me a gnome weapon pen and I looooooove it so much, and one day I will turn it into a paintbrush and it will be even more awesome. #mymentorisbetterthanyours
Now that they made the goop bound, I'd rather they just increase how many trades can be done. 3 is so horribly low, given the frequency at which they happen, as well as just how fast some people are able to get there.
I can't rave enough about this picture. You captured her PERFECTLY. She is gorgeous in precisely her own Lief way. So much love for the peacock feathers you did for Savit, too, even if you're now all in on peacock murdering.

Huh. Wonder why I didn't see about oh....500 more of those?
...Ixi having put the noodles inside satchels, then those satchels inside another satchel, which is inside the basket, seemed to have saved me from a wall of text.
