Rabbit walks up to Luke’s quarter’s door. She stops for a few moments, catching her breath, and counting her meditation beads with her left hand
She knocks loudly on the door, taking a short breath again as she announces her presence.
”Luke are you up and awake. Te’teh said you need an audience to tell your newly transcribed cat stories to.”
Rabbit stands at a relaxed attention waiting to hear if there is a response.

Luke makes a confused face, but since he trusts Te’Teh something must be afoot. He dresses and calls out, “Ah, yes. If you would come in. Let me get dressed here.”
He quickly grabs his prayer book and puts an appropriate expression on his face.

Rabbit steps into the room tentatively. She turns to Luke, a small smile under her hair spilling forward, getting a little long.
“I am sorry to bother you Luke. Te’teh told me I should come find you.”
She looks uncomfortable as she continued,
"I was performing a tracking ritual on the demon blood, and definitely felt it without my tattoos. Then things got a little blurry and Te’Teh was interrupting me following Artherien and Key back to their room. Teh’teh seemed concerned over me, so now here I am. Sorry if I am interrupting you.”
She looks down at her feet.

Luke looks at Tabbit for several seconds as he digests the information. He then sighs.
“I see. I think I understand” Luke starts.
“Sobhan gave us your contract. He said the you would be unduly influenced by us because of that. Mostly he was hoping we could free you from Lolth’s priestesses, with the Sekhmetbritual that was performed.”
He smiles tentatively and adds, “You should not sleep with anyone in the party until we sort this out to make sure that you are not accidentally being coerced into it. Te’Teh was probably worried for you.”
He waits to let the information sink in for Rabbit.

Rabbit seems to perk up a bit, the smile reaching her eyes..
“That makes sense, I could hear Te’teh scolding Artherien about something. Can she often swing so quickly from outlaw teen to that mother voice? It was kind of scary for a moment.”
She shrugs and shifts slightly, her smile growing brighter.
"It wouldn’t be the first time I woke up in an uncomfortable situation. Although you are right, I have no interest Artherien and Key that way, especially Glorion.”
She makes a face like she ate a lemon at the idea of sleeping with the young high elf. She then looks around Luke’s quarters curiously then back to the tiefling.
“What are you doing? I could probably tell you how the contract document works for future reference.”
She seems unsure if she is welcome to sit near him or if she should leave.

Luke nods and says, "Yes, Te'Teh definitely can swing that way. We were brought up a bit rougher than most, so that gives her an eye for what control might look like over a sentient being." Luke relaxes when he hears that nothing happened, and Te'Teh had stepped in quickly.
"Although the idea of being a devil with contracts is an attractive option, I'm not sure it would hold my interest for too long. I personally don't like holding your contract. I understand why you submitted to it, but I'm hoping we can destroy it quickly enough when we sort out this whole Lolth tattoo thing. Run of the mill curse breaking only goes so far, but either we get your heart back, or find a bigger curse breaking item or ritual. Either way," Luke smiles.
He pats the spot next to him encouragingly.

Rabbit’s eyes light up at the invitation, and she sits quickly before he can change his mind. She turns and looks up at him again, their height difference apparent at this angle.
“Damn, is your father a demon giant? You big tree.”
She gives him a large smile and lightly pushes on him. She seems to realize she is probably being too invasive and puts her hands back in her own lap.
There is a difference though with that contract. I trust you to hold it. If its necessary it is good to have. I can show you how to ward it so it has no effect on me unless you break the ward. Would you like that?.”
She watches him, waiting for an answer.

Luke laughs, and says, "I've never seen my father, but in all fairness, I think I've seen taller Dwarves that have you on height." He then laughs at his own joke
He takes on a more serious tone, "I have made certain the contract is safe, and cannot be passed on to anyone else. I would like to know more on how it works. I still won't approve of it, though,"n

Rabbit’s face erupts into mock shock and hurt, then the smile returns.
“Only some dwarves are taller than me!!! I don't blame you for not liking them. They are... uncomfortable to say the least. At least when they are hooked up to you.”
She shrugs at that, and rubs at her wrists in a subconscious motion. She then makes a motion with her hand to see it.
"I will show you how to work it. I can even show you how to lock it to you, in case you are worried others here might do stupid things with it. Show me the contract... unless you are worried about me touching it?.”
She chuckles at her bad joke.

Luke shakes his head, "Nope. The contract is not here. I was not going to risk it. What if we died, or were captured. Only Sobhan knows where I have it. I have contingencies in case of my death, that it goes back to Sobhan. I felt to bring it with us would court disaster for you." He smiles, but doesn't offer Rabbit any further information on where the contract is.

Rabbit watches Luke blankly for a minute, processing. Then she rolls her eyes.
“You have it back home? Did he not show you how it works? You can call the contract to you anytime by saying my name and willing it. You are the proper owner, it will come to you. It also will go back on your command. Sobhan pays the big bucks for his contracts, he never would want to be without the ability to call it to him at any time.”
She gives him a big smile.
"Like I said, I can set the contract up so it will only work for you. Just call my name, and will it.”
She slowly pronounces her name to Luke, seemingly practiced with teaching non-drow at least her name.
"Riia’Triss’ylene Arab’und, just think of me in the strongest image you can and tell the contract to come to you."

Luke smiles, and says, "Why don't we table that for later. It will be there when we get home, and as I said, if I die it will go to Sobhan again, so you aren't in any danger."
He then pulls out his prayer book, and starts reading a parable about a cat and her kittens from his book.

Rabbit smiles at Luke and she uses her small hands to smooth out a spot on the shoulder of Luke's clothing. She then rests her body against him, her head resting on his shoulder (or at least upper arm).
“Ok you big Lorug, I wouldn't object to you reading out loud what your mouthing over your book.”
She closes her eyes and just breaths a sigh of relief.

Key fidgets outside Lukes door before knocking, her map and pens in her hand. She waits quietly for a response.

"I am more than happy to reed it out loud, if you can stand more about cats," Luke says with a smile. He then pauses when he hears the knock on the door.
"Come in?" he saids.
