❝But I tell you, do not swear
an oath at all:
either by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;
or by the earth,
for it is His footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the
city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even
one hair white
or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No';
anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
—Matthew 5:34-37

Then you may be in a very unique position compared to the rest of us, Don.

Indeed, it has dawned on me everyone else here has made a trade.

Keep it in mind. [Quiet. Very quiet, just for her.]

It's unwise to owe a demon a favor. But vice versus can be just as true, depending on their hold on you.

[Don Quixote looks down]

...'tis the same as signing a business contract, is it not? I will take care.

[impacter]

Correct.

[He smiles.]

And contracts can also have their loopholes.

So keep your eyes open. Okay?

[just a deep sigh]

'Tis no wonder I disliked the idea of becoming a 'business woman'.

[But she shall steel herself]

But it is also in the nature of Fixers to check the fine print, so my eyes shall remain open, indeed.
