Taryn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.msg16258407#msg16258407)<br/><br/>The setting Jirazen had chosen was... quaint. Taryn could have tried changing it, of course, as could Sarah. They were in a shared dream, of sort, and so, they shared control, but she let Jorazen have his proclivities for now. IT was little cost enough for her. And, of course, she knew, too, that his true for was much different than the one he had graced them with. She wondered, briefly, if she should reveal it to Sarah. It was an amusing thought, at least. "Don't be mistaken," she told her newest employee. "He will try to corrupt you, as will any other demon I might choose to assign you to. It's in their nature. And, yes, in mine, too, though more subtly. Of of the prices I have to pay to be able to remain fully in the mortal realms. I trust that you will be strong enough to resist." She shrugged. "Or abandon yourself to it. I care little as long as you don't act in a way to shorten your use. A pre-corrupted vessel would certainly bring its own comforts to any potential hosts.<br/><br/>Taryn's usual confident smile froze a little on her face when Jizaren mentioned Tazziuz and Karimed. "I was... perfectly eager to enter this deal in exchange for your favour, and payment, of course, but... yes, a three-way hold it is. With all the strength of mine and and Sarah's survival in it. And so that we don't feel so... unbalanced by how little skin you, yourself, have in this game, I will put the word out. Openly, if you like, discretely, if I must, but it will be known, by all who truly matter. And should your break the bargain yourself, Jizaren, you will find it quite difficult, impossible, if I have my way, to find someone else to lend you bodies. You will have to wave farewell to all the delights I know you enjoy so well. And otherwise, I expect that you will accept the greater limitations. Sarah isn't as disposable as the other vessels I've provided you. You will not act in a way as to cause permanent physical harm or any troubles, legal and the like, beyond my reach or your ability to compensate me for. Just as you say, I am very motivated to ensure that Sarah is provided for." She looked to Sarah. "And as I promised, I will provide clothes at the first opportunity. I can arrange for you to meet with Ryan Swift directly, if you wish, or if you give me your preferences, I can acquire you something appropriate. In any case, I think it would be fair for you to consider yourself in my employment for... well, a very long time, to say the least."<br/><br/>Taryn looked back to Jirazen. "If all is agreed, then, I must still, also, find an appropriate ritual that will bind you to Sarah properly. The simple ones I've used so far have been too... inconsiderate to the host. I will need something more robust that will keep her safe, despite your presence."
