( she frowns slightly as she opens the surprisingly brief contract, something else that doesn't sit too right, turning it around to let agnes see it as she summarises )
It asks you to... essentially be part of my quota. To... fulfill any needs I have.
[She reads it over. Although Mrs. Sherington seems a bit uneasy, Agnes' expression doesn't change. It isn't anything terrible, really. It's not invasive or controlling or undermining.]
...I've been living in my assigned housing in the Down. I share the apartment with another submissive, though we keep to ourselves. A friend of mine offered to buy me a new home, but I felt it would be an unnecessary use of his funds.
[Considering that he has his own submissives, as well. Jon has better things to spend his money and concern on.]
( she nods slowly and she supposes at one point she'd understood that - as an angel she'd only ever really lived essentially, it wasn't until she was mortal and had begun really building a life that she saw other things as more necessary, though even then her spending was more scarce than a lot of humans )
Well, if you do ever want somewhere else to live or something that you'd need me to do for you I'd be happy to help you with it.
( and contract aside it might be nice to have a friend, she seemed like a very nice woman and she could understand her being in an unfortunate situation )
And... I hope this works out positively for you, as strange as that sounds.

but then she notices the woman by the window, someone clearly looking for someone and takes a chance )
Hello. Are you Agnes?
no subject
[She stares, though her intention isn't to be rude. The redhead can't help being a little off, sometimes.]
Hello.
no subject
( she places her coffee on the table before offering a hand as she sits down, letting the paperwork also sit in front of her )
I admit that I found it strange at first receiving the contract, especially when you say that you're already contracted.
no subject
[Agnes shakes her hand, and offers her a tentative smile. She couldn't possibly be another Elias.]
It's a little hard to believe; it feels too nice to be anything more than a trick.
no subject
( and she has the slightest suspicion that maybe she's saving her from a terrible situation. god might not be here but it felt like his nudge )
Though... I do have concerns about some of what's written in it.
no subject
What does it say?
no subject
It asks you to... essentially be part of my quota. To... fulfill any needs I have.
( she's a little uncomfortable at that )
You don't need to.
no subject
[She reads it over. Although Mrs. Sherington seems a bit uneasy, Agnes' expression doesn't change. It isn't anything terrible, really. It's not invasive or controlling or undermining.]
That's fine. It's preferable to alternatives.
no subject
( she frowns again, wondering as she drinks her coffee whether that was something from her previous contract )
no subject
[Of any kind, really, but particularly by the city.]
Failing quota is not recommended.
no subject
Well, anyone that I do have sex with I'd prefer to be because that's what we both want, not because it's written that you need to.
( she knows how that sounds with this city but she does just mean the contract over the quota abd rules itself )
I'm not going to ask you to because the contract says it.
no subject
[That's fine with her. More boundaries is always fine. It's a change from where she'd just been, with Elias.]
Perhaps you can use your status to change the terms, though I suppose they may currently be too busy to help.
no subject
( famous last words in this place )
There are a few things I'd like to ask you though, just to get it out of the way I guess.
no subject
[They're, generally, a waste of time.]
no subject
( she smiles slightly )
Do you have somewhere to live?
no subject
...I've been living in my assigned housing in the Down. I share the apartment with another submissive, though we keep to ourselves. A friend of mine offered to buy me a new home, but I felt it would be an unnecessary use of his funds.
[Considering that he has his own submissives, as well. Jon has better things to spend his money and concern on.]
no subject
( unless agnes like where she was living. she hadn't yet had a reason to go there to see what they were like )
no subject
I don't need any particular comforts.
no subject
Don't need or don't want?
( or had her previous dominant refused it before? )
It's alright to want things.
no subject
There is very little I crave.
no subject
Well, if you do ever want somewhere else to live or something that you'd need me to do for you I'd be happy to help you with it.
no subject
[And a bit unwarranted, she thinks, but decides to keep to herself. Agnes looks at her coffee.]
I'll remember. Please let me know what I can do for you, at any point, contract notwithstanding.
no subject
( and contract aside it might be nice to have a friend, she seemed like a very nice woman and she could understand her being in an unfortunate situation )
And... I hope this works out positively for you, as strange as that sounds.
no subject
[She's never been a fortuneteller.]
I'm relieved for a chance to move forward.
