Reading over the contract, she didn't see anything [i]too[/i] problematic... although she was hardly a legal expert, it wasn't like the shopkeeper was actively trying to put one over on her, and she had [i]some[/i] education in the topic. Authorising payment, confirming the identity of the purchaser... if he had some wax, she could even imprint a seal on it to make it [i]more[/i] official. All in all, she had no problem with signing this.

"I take it the magical contract would be in addition to the paperwork?" Elastasia asked, hands hovering over the page. No sense signing both if it [i]wasn't,[/i] but as soon as it was confirmed that it was, she'd add her signature--in all its flourished, calligraphic glory--to the documents.
