"Maybe in the future I will tell you the secrets of the universe."

Permalink

"That's exciting! All of its secrets? Those are a lot of secrets, we don't even know everything about our galaxy, let alone the entire universe."

Permalink

"All right, a small subset of secrets which I know and you may find interesting."

Permalink
She giggles. "I'll take it."

Then there is a beep from her navigation console, and - it looks like they are approaching Harmony.
Permalink

"You wanna resummon me right here in the shuttle and walk out with me all docile-like?"

Permalink

"Yeah, that seems best. First, though -" She opens her arms for a hug.

Permalink
Hug!

Shirtless, wingful hug.
Permalink
All of those things.

"Okay then, ready to go back and then immediately get re-summoned?"
Permalink

"Yep."

Permalink

She nods, then goes through the process of dismissal. Poof, off he goes to his home. Then she redraws a new circle, outlining all required safeties, and - summon?

Permalink

Here is a quiet smiling demon.

Adana smiles back at him. "Hi. Again. Keep me safe while you're here and make me a datastick and I will give you music?" she offers.

Permalink
"Yes, summoner," he says, sounding amused for some reason.

(She forgot her hat.)
Permalink
"Okay then! Off we go to prove that I am not terrible at summoning. And to get killswitch woman arrested."

(She can always ask for it, later.)
Permalink
Cam smiles and follows her where she leads.

It's sort of within the scope of his task to keep a wing over her back just barely touching. He can be a demonic shield of sorts.
Permalink
She notices, and giggles a little. "That's cute," she declares, amused.

They go to security. Adana hands over the portion of comm logs that involves her prisoner's evil deeds (leaving out the entire conversation with Cam). She answers some questions about how she beat her attacker, to which she motions to Cam. They understand, accept this as sufficient proof, and then send people to collect the still-trapped fugitive.

Then, off to get a proper summoner certification. She gives them a record of her summoning history (squeaky clean, until Cam) and then they get to inspecting how secure her binding over Cam is.
Permalink
Summoner "parlor tricks" suffice to verify that Cam is bound to a task and payment.

An extremely loud sudden noise from across the room - to which Cam reacts by speechlessly interposing himself between that noise and Adana, eyes wide, obviously alarmed but not capable of squeaking about it - suffices to verify that he's gagged.
Permalink
Adana jumps, at the noise. Then she looks at Cam, stunned and surprised. She - well, bound him to protect her, but she's touched, all the same. The reaction time for that wasn't through the binding, that was all him. She then giggles, and gives the testers something of a smug, 'Ha!' look. Adana decides that she will thank him, later. She doesn't know how, yet, but she'll figure it out.

They are impressed. She gets her certification.



When they are done, back onto her little shuttle they go, where she snaps the binding as soon as the airlock is closed, and hugs him. "Thank you," she says.
Permalink
Hugs. "I'm embarrassed, actually, I should have assumed they'd pull something like that to check the gag."

Hugs hugs hugs.
Permalink

"I didn't think of it either, and I should have. But it was still very sweet of you."

Permalink

"Hey, if I want a job as a bodyguard, have to act the part. And I like you."

Permalink
"Thank you very much," she giggles. "For both."

Hugs.
Permalink
Hugs.

"You're welcome."
