Lazy Fairy & the Lucky Panties

You partied through Fairy College and now no self-respecting adventurer will take you. Fortunately, you have an ace up your skirt.

Honestly I like the non-accruing 3 favors idea from here the best, although I could do without the unbirth clause.

The contract also needs to include a duty to provide Dotti with room and board, otherwise she has no reason to sign it because she's not getting any benefit from it.

Dotti looks over the agreement. Surprisingly, she can read. Where'd she learn that?

This ROOM AND BOARD AGREEMENT, hereafter “Agreement”, is entered into by and between ______________, the contracting Fairy (“Fairy”), and Lady Serah Kensington, Heir Countess of Kensington (“Serah”), and Dorothea, a.k.a. Dotti, a Fox Spirit of indeterminate variety (“Dotti”), each a “party” and collectively the “parties”.

>WHEREAS, Dotti seeks to obtain shelter, clothing, and food, having no means of obtaining thereof; and

> WHEREAS, Dotti is a Fox Spirit, which is known for trickery, deception, violence, duplicity and malevolence; and

>WHEREAS, Fairy has actual and apparent authority to act on behalf of Serah in matters involving Dotti;

>WHEREAS, Fairy is generous, kind, beautiful, smart, and glowy; and

>WHEREAS, Dotti is stupid; and

>NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, this RBA is issued under the following covenants, terms, and conditions:

1. Definitions.
Days shall be measured in earthly, mortal days at the location of signing. Favors are defined as commands that the grantor must attempt to the best of their ability. All other terms contained herein shall be defined as set out in the Uniform Fairy Code, as amended.

2. Room and Board Provided.
Fairy and Serah shall provide Dotti with reasonable food, shelter, and clothing for the term of this Agreement, at their own expense.

3. Term.
The term of this agreement shall be from the date of last signature until thirty mortal sunsets thereafter. This agreement will then automatically renew for a further period of thirty days unless Fairy and Serah give notice of intent to not renew.

4. Compensation.
a. Fairy shall receive three (3) Favors from Dotti every day. Favors do not accrue. Favors cannot be requested when Dotti is unconscious.
b. Serah shall receive three (3) Favors from Dotti every day. Favors do not accrue. In the event that Favors granted to Serah conflict with Favors granted to Fairy, Fairy's favors will control.
c. Dotti will treat Fairy and Serah with courtesy and respect, which includes welcoming them with curtsies. The deeper, the better.
d. Fairy may use Dotti as a bed. Upon Fairy's request, Dotti is required to fluff herself to Fairy's satisfaction.

5. Non-Aggression and Duty to Protect.
a. Dotti shall not intentionally cause harm to Fairy or Serah, or conspire to allow Fairy or Serah to enter into a situation that would cause either party harm without previously informing the threatened party of the danger.
b. Dotti shall not deliberately allow harm to occur to Fairy or Serah through Dotti's inaction, without previously informing the threatened party.
c. This section shall be interpreted broadly.

6. Compliance with Laws.
Dotti shall comply with all applicable laws of all jurisdictions she is present within, unless Fairy or Serah waives this clause, or completion of a Favor requires noncompliance to achieve, or Dotti's Duty to Protect requires noncompliance to achieve. Waivers of this clause shall not extend beyond a reasonable time as defined by the circumstances of the waiver.

7. Default and Geas.
By entering into this Agreement and providing her True Name, Dotti consents to her True Name being recorded in the Greater Library. Should Dotti commit an act that violates the terms of this agreement, Fairy is authorized to draw upon the Library and utilize magic of a strength necessary to cure the default. Should Fairy be incapable of controlling or channeling the energy of said Library due to incapacitation or other circumstances, Fairy authorizes the Library to act on Fairy's behalf to cure any outstanding default.

8. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Fairy and Serah. Termination is allowed verbally and may take effect immediately, should it be stated. Upon termination, Dotti's name will be erased from the Greater Index.

9. Supremacy Clause
Dotti acknowledges that Fairy is better than her.

The "previously informing" part could be a problem. She can't speak, how is she supposed to inform anyone of the danger? How about change it so that instead of her having to inform you and Serah of the danger, you have to be aware of it somehow, whether she warns you or not?
"or intentionally manipulate events to cause Fairy or Serah to be harmed without their consent." which means she would have to be responsible for something going wrong for it to be a breach of contract.

Also you should put in a probationary period. For two days, you and Serah have the right to change the terms of the contract, though you both have to agree on the changes. Therefore if you mess up the first draft and give Dotti too much leeway you can change it, and Dotti doesn't have to worry about getting stuck with a bad deal for 30 whole days because Serah will have mercy.

Wait, lets get a witness' signature of the contract signing for added validity and security so that if any legal issues happen like Dotti trying to claim she did not sign anything happens, the witness can deny it. Raelynn can sign as a witness! is she still here?

(Idea: Because Lazy Fairy put Serah as part of the contract without her permission, Raelynn should leave quickly in order to go get Serah's input on LF's contract first because she is an honest ranger and doesn't want Serah to get upset with her breaking her promise to make sure LF doesn't do anything bad.)

The duty to protect section should say something along the lines of "without the party informedly consenting to temporary waiving of the clause".
Otherwise, she could just say "I'm gonna stab you", and then stab you, without technically breaching the contract.

The rest looks good, I think.

Remove that last clause and most of the Whereas; if the administration can see blatant Fairy-Supremacy, they might deem it grounds for annulment.

And seriously, you're being spitefully racist.
>>
No. 983092 ID: 67d59f

>>983024
In addition to toning down the spitefulness and racism as others suggested, we should also try to tie up some loopholes.

Add a clause for where either fairy or Sarah are deceased (just so nobody gets stuck in a contract simply due to Sarah biting the big one a hundred years down the line), along with explicit forbiddance of Dotti directly or indirectly killing either fairy or Sarah regardless of prior warning.

In matters of mortal peril, Dotti is required to protect both fairy and Sarah TO THE POINT OF DEATH as to prevent the early demise of either fairy or Sarah unless consent is otherwise unanimously given by both Sarah and fairy on a case-per-case basis.

Define consent as verbal permission stated plainly and with clear intent by both fairy and Sarah while both are of sound mind and not under the influence of any forms of drugs, poisons, torture, hypnosis, magic, or any other possible sources that may influence either fairy or Sarah.

Remove the curtsies bit from 4.c. It will get old fast and is petty.

“I'm not one of those book-smart high elves,” Raelynn says, “But even I know signing contracts with fairies has the potential to make things worse.” She grabs the contract away from Dotti and looks to the bottom. “Well, look at this! You signed for Lady Kensington!”

“I can do that! She let me!” you protest.

“Well, then she would have no problem reading it herself, then?” Raelynn smirks. She turns to head downstairs with your contract.

“Wait! Wait!” you call out. You flutter your wings desperately, and find that you have just enough dust to zip in front of her and block her path, for what good it does. “Uh... it's not finished yet!”

“Smart fairy,” the elf says, and watches as you drift like a leaf back down to the ground.

You grit your teeth and get to revising. Maybe this is your chance to do something Serah would be proud of, instead of just getting petty revenge. Maybe you can get Serah to like you for how helpful you're being, and how fair you are. Maybe she'll celebrate your newfound fairness with a party!

You generously allow Serah to sign for herself, and give her favors priority over yours, and rework the recitals, and give it your best shot. Serah's going to love it for sure! And she'll love you, too!

But you can't let this chance to have a fluffy fox bed go to waste...

This ROOM AND BOARD AGREEMENT, hereafter “Agreement”, is entered into by and between ______________, the contracting Fairy (“Fairy”), and Lady Serah Kensington, Heir Countess of Kensington (“Serah”), and Dorothea, a.k.a. Dotti, a Fox Spirit of indeterminate variety (“Dotti”), each a “party” and collectively the “parties”.

>WHEREAS, Dotti seeks to obtain shelter, clothing, and food, having no means of obtaining thereof; and

> WHEREAS, Dotti is a Fox Spirit demonstrating aptitude for compulsion charms and minimal restraint in use thereof; and

>WHEREAS, Fairy has the ability and authority to enforce contracts between the parties; and

>WHEREAS, Serah has the ability to provide shelter, clothing, and food through her occupation as an adventurer, alchemical skill, and access to the wealth of House Kensington; and

>WHEREAS, Serah is an adventurer, and as such is likely to be placed in mortal peril as part of her day-to-day activities;

>NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, this agreement is issued under the following covenants, terms, and conditions:

1. Definitions.
Days shall be measured in earthly, mortal days at the location of signing.
Favors are defined as commands that the grantor must attempt to the best of their ability.
Consent is defined as verbal permission stated plainly and with clear intent by both Fairy and Serah while both are of sound mind and not under the influence of any forms of drugs, poisons, torture, hypnosis, magic, or any other possible sources that may influence either Fairy or Serah.
All other terms contained herein shall be defined as set out in the Uniform Fairy Code, as amended.

2. Room and Board Provided.
Fairy and Serah shall, at their own expense, provide Dotti with reasonable food, shelter, and clothing for the term of this Agreement.

3.Term.

This agreement shall have a provisional term in effect from the instant of last signature until sunset of the second (2nd) day following the instant of last signature. Prior to termination of the provisional term, if the parties express intent to continue the agreement, the agreement shall continue for the Primary Term.

The Primary Term of this agreement shall be from the termination of the probationary period until thirty (30) days thereafter, at the sunset of the thirtieth day. This agreement will then automatically renew for a further period of thirty days unless Dotti, Fairy or Serah give notice of intent to not renew. Intent to not renew must be expressed no less than one (1) day prior to termination. Automatic renewal periods shall continue indefinitely.

4. Compensation.
a. Fairy shall receive three (3) Favors from Dotti every day. Favors do not accrue. Favors cannot be requested when Dotti is unconscious.
b. Serah shall receive three (3) Favors from Dotti every day. Favors do not accrue. Favors cannot be requested when Dotti is unconscious. In the event that Favors granted to Serah conflict with Favors granted to Fairy, Serah's favors shall control.
c. Dotti will treat Fairy and Serah with courtesy and respect.
d. Fairy may use Dotti as a bed. Upon Fairy's request, Dotti shall fluff herself to Fairy's satisfaction.

5. Non-Aggression and Duty to Protect.
a. Dotti shall not intentionally cause harm to Fairy or Serah, or conspire to allow Fairy or Serah to enter into a situation that would cause either party harm. This provision may only be waived by Dotti informing the threatened party of the harm to be suffered, or the party is fully aware of the harm to be suffered, and Dotti obtains consent of both Fairy and Serah.
b. Dotti shall not deliberately allow harm to occur to Fairy or Serah through Dotti's inaction. This provision may only be waived by Dotti informing the threatened party of the harm to be suffered, or the party is already fully aware of the harm to be suffered, and Dotti obtains consent of both Fairy and Serah.
c. Under no circumstances may Dotti cause the death of Fairy or Serah. This provision cannot be waived.
d. Dotti agrees to a Duty to Protect both Fairy and Serah. In situations where Fairy or Serah is or will imminently be in mortal peril, Dotti's Duty to Protect requires her to protect Fairy and Serah until Fairy and Serah are no longer in or will imminently be in mortal peril, regardless of risk to Dotti's own life. This provision may only be waived by consent of both Fairy and Serah, and only on a case-by-case basis.
e. This section shall be interpreted broadly.

6. Compliance with Laws.
Dotti shall comply with all applicable laws of all jurisdictions she is present within, unless Fairy or Serah waives this clause, or completion of a Favor requires noncompliance to achieve, or Dotti's Duty to Protect requires noncompliance to achieve. Waivers of this clause shall not extend beyond a reasonable time as defined by the circumstances of the waiver.

7. Default and Geas.
By entering into this Agreement and providing her True Name, Dotti consents to her True Name being recorded in the Greater Library. Should Dotti commit an act that violates the terms of this agreement, Fairy is authorized to draw upon the Library and utilize magic of a strength necessary to cure the default. Should Fairy be incapable of controlling or channeling the energy of said Library due to incapacitation or other circumstances, Fairy authorizes the Library to act on Fairy's behalf to cure any outstanding default.

8. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Fairy and Serah. Termination is allowed verbally and may take effect immediately, should it be stated. Upon termination, Dotti's True Name will be erased from the Index of the Greater Library.

9. Arbitration.
Disputes regarding the the terms of this agreement shall be arbitrated by a third party mutually agreed upon by all parties.

10. Death of Party.
Should either Fairy or Serah become deceased, all benefits and duties of the deceased under this contract shall vest in the survivor. Should Dotti become deceased, this contract shall terminate.

Looks good. The only change I would make is the terms of termination

>This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Fairy and Serah.

Take your name out of this so that it reads "This Agreement may be terminated by Serah." It makes Serah feel like she is in most control this way.

(I would also add that Dotti must keep herself clean before fairy wants to use her as a bed, but contract making isn't LF's strongest skill, inventory management is, so lets not add that and leave that loophole in for hilarity)

>This agreement will then automatically renew for a further period of thirty days unless Dotti, Fairy or Serah give notice of intent to not renew.
I feel like could cause problems, have it be two out of the three give notice in the same renewal period. (otherwise Dotti can just kinda stop after the first month by declaring non-renewal during an intense moment, also this lets it end by you and Serah, you and Dotti, as if or Dotti and Serah)
This agreement will then automatically renew for a further period of thirty days unless two (2) individuals, out of the list of Dotti, Fairy and Serah, give notice of intent to not renew within the same renewal period.
>shall receive three (3)
should be 'up to' (Being required to receive 3 could, and probably would, quickly become a pain)
shall receive up to three (3)

I want this to turn out good and eventually have a better relationship with Serah, so i am voting against shenanigans like this.

>>983181
I can get behind this, aside from the bit at the very end.

Also a few changes:
5.a needs rewritten as it currently could be broadly interpreted as allowing Dotti to beat the shit out of you by just telling you that she will beat the shit out of you before she does it.
>Dotti shall not intentionally cause harm to Fairy or Serah, or conspire to allow Fairy or Serah to enter into a situation that would cause either party harm. This provision may only be waived by Dotti informing the threatened party of the harm to be suffered and Dotti obtains consent of both Fairy and Serah.
This should cover all scenarios.

Either replace the comma with a colon after Kensington or add "and" after the blank.

No. 983299 ID: 9c48ac

>>983187
Huh, I guess that is still vague... but the "already aware" clause is there for a reason. How about:
>This provision may only be waived by Dotti obtaining the consent of the threatened party, given that either Dotti has informed the threatened party of the harm to be suffered, or the party is already fully aware of the harm to be suffered.

(I also changed it so the non-threatened party doesn't have to consent, since that didn't really make sense anyway.)

Eh, seems to me that to have both agree would actually be a check if a party's ability to judge was compromised (like if Fairy got Serah wasted). At the same time, all parties are able to kill the whole deal after 30 days, so if a party is dissatisfied, they have that as a remedy.

What? The 'shenanigans' are a way for Dotti to be a little bitch to fairy. (by being dirty)
The other thing was have fairy give up some power so Serah has more, for the express purpose of improving Serah-Fairy relations. (I do, however agree with not giving all the early termination power to Serah))
>>983303
An extra check, but yes. Also as per my earlier suggestion I think it should be two out of three parties are dissatisfied, then renewal can be prevented.

“It's finished!” you declare. “Look, look! It's finished!”

Dotti peeks over your shoulder. She reads through it and stares at you with some confusion in her eyes.

“I wasn't kidding when I said it was your lucky day, you orange furball,” you say. “This deal's as fair as you're ever gonna get! Now sign!”

“Aren't you forgetting someone?” Raelynn asks.

“Oh, right. My adventurer,” you sigh. “Okay, okay. Let's get her opinion. But only because your hair is so cool.”

“Thank you,” Raelynn smiles. She puts you on her shoulder and takes the contract in hand.

You, Dotti and Raelynn head downstairs and find Serah seated at a table near the bar. Beside her are a stack of four plates, and a spread of lamb and salad and figs- and popcorn!

“Popcorn!” you cheer.

Dotti licks her chops. Serah scoots away ever so slightly.

“Thank you, Raelynn,” Serah says. “I wasn't sure what your particular dietary choices were, so I ordered meat on the side. Everyone, please, help yourself.”

“You don't have to worry about me being picky like some elves,” Raelynn says, pulling off her gloves and taking a leg of lamb for herself. “Where I'm from, we eat what we can.”

“Ew, meat.” You stick out your tongue and hop onto the table expectantly. Serah plates you four kernels of popcorn and a fig.

“A noble girl serving a fairy?” Raelynn says through a mouthful of lamb and salad. “Now I've seen everything.”

“With this contract, she won't have to!” you declare.

“Another contract?” Serah asks warily.

“It's legit! I swear! And it's really, really fair! That rhymes, which means you have to like it!”

“Thougt I'd get your opinion before anyone signed anything,” Raelynn says. She licks her fingers. “Good seasoning. Devin must be cooking tonight.”

Dotti tries to pick up a leg of lamb and drops it on the table. She smiles nervously and scoots it closer to her plate.

“That was very wise of you,” Serah says, a flicker of concern passing across her features as Dotti leans in to devour her leg of lamb. “Let me see exactly what this says.”

Serah reviews the contract in detail while you chow down. “This... isn't the worst thing in the world,” she says, surprised.

“Hey! You're welcome, Lady Fussingt- Uh, I mean, you're welcome.”

“I think we could improve the non-aggression language in sections 5(a) and (b),” Serah says. “Commas are pernicious devils, and order of wording matters.”

“Sure,” you say. “But you like it, right?”

“I do,” Serah says, a little relieved. “Honestly, I'm glad you came up with this solution. I wasn't sure how to handle any of this. But are you sure this contract actually...” Serah leans down and whispers to you. “Keeps us safe, in case...”

“You've never tried to go back on a deal with a fairy, have you?” You rub your hands together gleefully. “Oh, yeah. It's, way, way more than enough to stop her dead in her tracks if she tries messing with us.”

“Good,” Serah says. She sits up and looks to Dotti.

“Dotti, do you think this is fair? Did my fairy explain it all to you?”

Dotti pauses.

“She can read, somehow,” Raelynn says. “Any idea where she learned?”

You and Serah both shrug.

Dotti messily tears a strip of meat from her leg of lamb.

“Very well, then,” Serah says. “I just think we should get Raelynn's opinion, and then sign.”

“Me?” Raelynn raises an eyebrow. “I'm no fancy-pants nobility. What makes you think my advice is worth something?”

“There's no way my fairy would have drafted a contract this thorough without encouragement.”

“Hey!” you pipe up. “I did all this myself! She just reminded me never to send the first draft.”

Serah looks to Raelynn with a knowing expression.

“Sure, fine,” Raelynn says. She takes the contract and her eyes immediately glaze over. “Okay, whoa. Lots of words here. If you say it's fine, it's fine.”

“I feel like I'm missing something,” Serah says. “I don't want to forget something important in a deal like this.”

“A deal? Well, that's easy,” Raelynn says. “You just need to know what kind of people are in on the deal. I think we know a lot about Dotti, but... hey, fairy! Tell me about yourself. What's your name?”

“How rude!” you say. “An elf? Asking a fairy her name? You should know better!”

“So you're a bit cagey,” Raelynn observes. “Not that unusual for a magical girl who binds people using their true name. But fine. What do you like to do? What're you good at?

You spin in place and flutter your wings glamorously. “I am the sexy, beautiful, glowy, unstoppable life of the party!

“Fascinating. Hey, I just remembered,” Raelynn says, pulling out a wineskin from her belt and dropping it on the table. “I've got a thing of rosé. Want some?”

“Do I ever!” you declare, and lunge for the wineskin. “Three more of these and we can all have a good time!”

Raelynn yanks the wineskin away from you just before you reach it. “I was kidding. But now Serah knows to assume that you might be blitzed out of your mind at any given moment.”

“Oh, dear,” Serah sighs. “I'm changing a few things to stop any one of us from collapsing this whole contract.”

Serah makes the following changes:

To § 1:

>Consent is defined as verbal permission stated plainly and with clear intent by both Fairy and Serah while both are of sound mind and not under the influence of any forms of alcohol, drugs, poisons, torture, hypnosis, magic, or any other possible sources that may influence either Fairy or Serah.

To § 3:

>This agreement will then automatically renew for a further period of thirty days unless two-thirds of the parties give notice of intent to not renew.

To § 5:

>a. Dotti shall not intentionally cause harm to Fairy or Serah, or conspire to allow Fairy or Serah to enter into a situation that would cause either party harm. This provision may only be waived by Dotti obtaining the consent of the threatened party, and that either (1) Dotti has informed the threatened party of the harm to be suffered, or (2) the threatened party is already fully aware of the harm to be suffered.

>b. Dotti shall not deliberately allow harm to occur to Fairy or Serah through Dotti's inaction. This provision may only be waived by Dotti obtaining the consent of the threatened party, and that either (1) Dotti has informed the threatened party of the harm to be suffered, or (2) the threatened party is already fully aware of the harm to be suffered.

“I think I'm ready to sign,” Serah says.

“Yay! Time for the execution!”

Everyone looks at you.

“Of the contract,” you say, exasperated. “Honestly, am I the only one who went to fairy college? Oh, wait! I am!”

Dotti claps her lamb-stained paws. Serah frowns and hands her a napkin to wipe.

“Wait a minute,” Raelynn says. “We didn't ask how you might affect the deal, Lady Kensington.”

“What about me?” Serah asks, stiffening slightly.

“You have to be honest with yourself. Do you trust yourself with this kind of responsibility? Do you think you can handle being bound to these two? Be honest with yourself, Lady Kensington.”

“I...” Serah slumps. She stares into her salad.

Dotti looks to Serah, her eyes big, wide and full of hope.

“Maybe we should ask your fairy for her opinion about you,” Raelynn says. "She can't lie, after all."

She has a tendency to rush into things, is a bit naive, and too reliant on others.

“Wow, weawwy?” you say, your mouth full of fig. “Thankf, Waewinn. Mo pweffur or muffin.”

You swallow your fig, and girl, you feel great. You're positively radiant now that you've had a full meal!

But you look over to Serah. Really, really look at her. You dim a little.

She's tired. Sad. Full of self-doubt. And she's had an terrible day.

Maybe you can fix that.

“Well, well, well!” You hop to your feet and flutter your beautifully full wings. “You really want my opinion, Raelynn?”

Raelynn nods.

“Well, Lady Kensington here's a real newbie! As green as they come! Plus she's almost as bad as me when it comes to getting other people to solve her problems for her!”

Serah stirs her salad sadly.

“But!” you flutter to her side. “She's also learning really, really fast! She's got so much potential to be a great alchemist And she's a good person, as good as they come! I think she'd be a great influence on Dotti. We'd make a good team.”

Dotti's ears perk up. Her eyes brighten.

Uh-oh. You may have been a little too honest there. Better change the subject. “Uh, and... also! Serah's a total hottie! She's gonna rock the nightlife! This girl's an ice cream sundae topped off with two big, round, all-natural cherries!”

“Please be quiet!” Serah hisses.

“Shutting up now.”

There's an awkward silence as the four of you finish your meals. You hate it, but you did say you'd shut up.

Serah is the first to break the silence.

“I think... I think I can do this,” Serah says, far less confidently than a noble girl should.

“Okay,” Raelynn says, drawing the word out like she's casting a fishing line. “If you say so.”

Well, that just boils your beans. You flit in front of Raelynn. “Hey! Lavender Locks! You don't get to do this to Serah like you're better than her. She's had a really, really bad day, okay?!”

“Fairy, you don't have to-”

“No! It's my turn!” you say to Serah. “Listen, Peek-a-bangs, Serah doesn't need you badgering her! She's the nicest person I know, and if you're going to tell her to pack her things and go home to Daddy, then you've got another thing coming! She's brave and fearless and is gonna make an awesome adventurer!”

“Fine,” Raelynn says.

“No, not fine! She's gonna be great! I think she's gonna be one of the best party leaders ever! So suck it!”

Serah looks like she's been slapped.

The corners of Raelynn's lips curl up in a small, slight smile.

“Sounds like you three are going to be just fine,” Raelynn says. She stretches her arms and burps. “Well, thanks for the dinner, Lady Kensington.”

“Y-you're welcome,” Serah says, still in shock. “I owe you one.”

“I appreciate it.”

Wait! No! This isn't how it's supposed to be. Raelynn shouldn't be leaving. She should be asking to come party with us for the rest of the evening! Wine! Gossip! Pillow fights! What's wrong with her?! She must be one of those... what's the word... introverts! You flit behind Serah's ear.

“Serah!” you hiss as Raelynn turns to leave. “She wants to party, I can feel it!”

“Please, no parties...” Serah sighs. “Wait... or did you mean party up?”

“She's getting away!” you tug on Serah's ear. “Are you a party leader or aren't you?”

“I, uh, I-”

You need to tell Serah something so Raelynn will come party with us!

Tell Serah that Raelynn is the glue that will hold the team together and can help push to raise her confidence just like she did to give Serah the will to believe in herself to take on the contract with Dotti. Also tell serah that Raelynn was also responsible enough to keep you in check like reminding you to make more than one draft of a contract to make it even more awesome. Mention how It would be nice if Serah had another adventurer to relate more with on the team, and it will make adventuring easier with more members in the group. Plus the important thing about being an adventurer is having the courage to grab opportunities when they see it, otherwise they'll never reach the treasure at the end of a scary dungeon, or they'll never ask a hot stud to dance with her at a ballroom dance party.

Raelynn feels like an excellent anchor for this team; she has an uncanny knack for keeping people grounded and offering an outside, unbiased perspective on things.

We need her. She's the Andy Griffith to our Don Knotts, the Chewbacca to our Han Solo, the Monica to our Chandler, Joey, Rachel, Ross, and Phoebe!

Remind Sarah that she comes from aristocracy. If her father didn't teach her how to lead and dictate others every breathing moment, he'd have to be a body double of the real noble.
She can command the party, and not because of her bloodline. Getting others to swallow her bull is the epitome of her family's heritage and training.

“Come on, Lady Kensington!” you urge. “We need her because she's not crazy!”

“Oh, sweet savior, you're right.” Serah snaps out of her shocked stupor and calls after Raelynn. “Wait!”

Raelynn keeps walking.

“Raelynn, stop! we are not done here!”

Raelynn stops.

“Way to go, bosslady,” you say proudly. Serah shuffles in her seat excitedly.

“What's up?” Raelynn asks, turning to face Serah.

“I have an offer for you,” Serah says, still seated. “If you're willing to listen.”

Raelynn cocks her hip to one side, but doesn't say anything.

“I need more money to feed and clothe my new... responsibilities,” Serah says.

You flit behind Dotti and flap your wings excitedly. “That's us!”

Dotti waves a dirty paw.

“As I said,” Serah continues, “I'm going to need more money. And for that, I'm going to need to either hunt for treasure, or find reagents to try and turn silver into gold. Both are much easier to do with a competent ranger at my side.”

Raelynn says nothing.

“And...” Serah smiles. “A Lady always needs wise counsel.”

“Can't argue with that one,” Raelynn says. “But I've done pretty well on my own trading pelts. What makes you think I want to party up?”

“I wouldn't want to assume, your goals,” Serah says, “But I'm willing to bet that between my fairy and Dotti, they might be able to help find you an animal companion like no other.”

“How did you know I-” Raelynn catches herself midsentence, shakes her head, and smiles. “Fair enough. I shouldn't have underestimated your keen ear for gossip.”

“It comes with years of practice,” Serah says warmly. “So what do you say?”

“I'll think about it.”

“Not good enough,” Serah presses. “I'm about to commit to a two-day probationary contract with these two. Tomorrow will be prep for adventuring, and the day after that, we'll be leaving bright and early for a day trip of real adventuring. I need to know if you're on board now.”

“Oh, she's good,” you whisper in Dotti's ear.

Raelynn gives a small smile. “Fine. I'm in. For two days.”

“YES!” you cheer. “Not-crazy is in the house!”

“Thank you,” Serah says. “Now, I believe we have a contract to sign.”

“Three favors a day! And a fluffy bed!” You clap your hands and materialize a pre-inked quill from thin air, and an ink pad for Dotti. “I can't wait!”

“I don't have to use all three, right?” Serah asks before grabbing the quill.

“Nope. Contract just says you get them, and they don't carry over. No need to burn 'em.”

“Good,” Serah says.

Raelynn watches as you all sign, and turns to head upstairs, shaking her head.

“The deal is done!” you cheer. The contract bursts into a snapping, crackling and popping display of fireworks. “PARTY TIME!”

“No parties!” Serah says. “It's bed time! You promised to get up early tomorrow, remember?”

“FUCK!”

Fairy or as second option Sarah.
The other options sound fun but I don't want to commit to them for a full thread.
