I help set up the games and get you in the door, you help me cover the initial expenses. Then I can promote you and give you more exposure and then you'll be more famous and raking in alot more gold..."<br/><br/>"So...

Out west, the humans just consider it legally binding if ya' just sign your name on a piece of paper." He said with a derisive snort, "I hate to do this, but... a priestess won't accept our agreement as legal unless we preform the ritual. It's a... communion with the Empress, proof of our sincerity. And that is NOT something you want to lie to a priestess about... I'm not even supposed to have you audition without this sort of thing. You could hurt yourself and I'd be liable and.. Ugh."
