“Your dad
is not,
can not
, and
will not
be your wife, Thia.”
“It does not understand. It’s Terms with Amy and It’s Terms with It’s summoner are similar.”
“This is this, and that is that. Don’t call your dad your wife.”
“It accepts the premise. Continue.”
“We're going to make a new term. Right. Now.”
“It listens.”
“The task is: you will never call your Dad your wife again. You will only ever call Amy your wife. You will not have another wife for as long as our Terms exist.”
“Understood. What Price will Amy offer in return?”
“I will never call your dad my wife. I'll only ever call Thia my wife. I won't have another wife for as long as our Terms exist.”
“It refuses. The Price paid is not enough. Amy has never referred to It's summoner as Amy’s Wife.”
"...I'll also include two rings. Matching rings that we'll both wear forever, or as long as our Terms exist.”
“Understood. It’s Task is: do not refer to It’s summoner as ‘Wife’; only refer to Amy as ‘Wife’; do not accept another Wife. The Price paid will be: Amy will only refer to It as ‘Wife’; Amy will not accept another Wife. Amy will provide matching rings that It and Amy will wear for as long as It and Amy’s Terms exist. Are the Terms correct?”
“Yes, Thia. Yes. Forever and always, yes.”
“It does not like to be touched.”
“What if I was so happy right now that the overall benefit was infinity times greater than the negative?”
“It relents.”
