❝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

[ Fandaniel looks at Dehya, then at his bottle of booze, then back at Dehya, then— no, he isn't this drunk yet. He can't just pretend not to hear her and put his head down yet. ]

Considering how they often suggested I reconsider, I imagine that could have happened, actually. So it would seem I was lacking in my wording... or would be, if I still intended for it.

But that is indeed a fair example of how Sika Madu could turn a wish on its ear.

Or how you could. Maybe you can't revise your contract--[Can he? Honestly, maybe Sika is amenable.] But you can at least hold it off.
