Well. Technically speaking after the third order, I could go ahead and do whatever.

It would seem this system is designed for... short-term contracts.

It would be my obligation to uphold my end of the bargain for having this second existence.

So in a way, the term 'Servant' becomes moot when I no longer have to abide by your commands unconditionally.

So...you follow three orders you can't ignore...then you're basically just my friend. Is that right?

-nods- I'd say that sums it up well.

I'm your friend that follows orders because I want to, unless it's one of those three special orders- and when they're used up, I'm just a friend that follows orders because I want to.

Okay, that's a bit more reasonable. But I still want to give you some compensation, even just a favor. If I didn't, it'd just feel...wrong.

-nods, and smiles a little- Well, I already subsist on part of your energy.

But I suppose that isn't enough.

I'll let you come up with the compensation as and when a favor is asked.

Same way you breathe, I suppose.

Except this is obviously a form of magic...

-sighs- I remember when I considered taking up that craft and becoming a scholar.

-shrugs- Doubt I would've done much with it.

But no, my family's always been with the Navy. An Admiral I'd be born to be.

Depends on what I'm hired to do.

I imagine that's because I'm not doing anything that's going to take more than I need.

Think of it as... you know how sinks- have that second hole to prevent overflow?

Think of my expenditure of energy as a rising water level. When it gets to the point of flowing into that second hole, that's when you start to feel, or get tired out- needing more food, or what-not.

Say if I was to go all-out in a fight around here- and I summoned my ship. That would probably have you a little tired, but it shouldn't impact too much on you, unless it was a difficult fight. In which case... you might need to sleep for a bit.

-thinks for a moment-

Well, if there's anything that I'd want, it's revenge for the fall of my state.

But there's no-one I've met here that'd count as a proxy to soothe my temper.

Though revenge by proxy is such a banal thing...

I suppose I don't know the answer there. They are used when the situation requires it.

Say there was an enemy you were determined to destroy- but I saw a trap coming, if you didn't listen to me, I could command you to retreat thereby assuring your safety and foiling that scheme.

That makes me feel a little better about things..

Well, anyway. If I ever need to use an order, I will...but for now, I'll just be your friend. Okay?
