Nira hugged her daughter tightly so she could shift position slightly to better see Kat. "Yeah you get people like that sometimes. It's not too often though. Normally when they mess up the ritual. You can actually decline a lot of those and still get paid half the time. It's a bit of a gamble, though."
"Why is that?" asked Kat
"Well, mostly because the circle didn't actually get asked to do what the circle said you would. Most of the time that sort of thing happens when an old Summoning Circle gets activated by someone with no idea what they are doing.
"The problem, and where the risk comes in, is that sometimes they are just close enough to what the circle was intending for that you get penalised for skipping out on the contract. Then you either have to do more contracts or a punishment run like you and Kamiko are doing right now."
"Huh, actually, why are you doing this Kamiko? Not sure I asked?" asked Kat.
