She looks genuinely surprised. "My, how interesting. One learns something new every day!  At any rate, you need not remind me on the nature of we Mamono, or those who love us.  Polygamy is not the issue, darling.  Direction of the heart is.  True love is not difficult to come by, but nigh impossible for some.  Be that as it may, I will outline the specifics of your contract."

She snaps her fingers and the contract leaps out, shocking Los. "Terribly sorry, darling. Now, as you are aware of the nomenclature of the contract, I will not bother to repeat it.  The key phrase, however, is TRUE LOVE.  Regardless of one's background, regardless of one's bearing, True Love means clinging with desperation to that which you desire, letting go that which you do not, and knowing which is which.  To this end, you have two rather glaring problems."

She sets the contract down. "The first is much more obvious: that Manticore with the ridiculous nickname. I will leave it to you to reveal, in your own due time, what I mean by that, to Asja. I need not tell you that she cannot be a factor in your life until you and Asja are truly one. However, your second problem is considerably more complex."

She unravels the contract. One of the fingers of the burned in image is faded, leaving four fingers left.

"Do you see? One of the fingers is faded.  It is a mark of fate, a sort of timer.  The fingers fade as the contract continues to be broken, until all fade and your half of the bargain is nullified."

"Place your hand within the runic mark of my hand on the contract. Your problem will then be revealed to you, although I know already what it is." She looks at him, awaiting his move.
