[[indent:40:"My good left hand" refers to how Kvote is a talented lute player. When a right-handed person plays a stringed instrument, the right hand does the comparatively simple task of strumming while the ''left'' hand does the more complicated job of forming notes. This oath is not ''explicitly'' stated to be a MagicallyBindingContract, but it's sure implied that it is, considering that the FramingDevice is this story being told by an older Kvote -- one without powers and going by a different name.]]
