8 Unexpected results

"Wonderful! Just wonderful! Masterfully done Kaylin!" Jestra clapped cheerily in between sipping his drink from his straw and enjoying a bite of his slice of cheesecake. "Believe it or not, one of the reasons I figured that Zayxin should be your first contract is because she is knowledgable about the world you will soon call home, and don't think I haven't noticed that some of your body size is because of slight malnutrition." As Jestra said this Kaylin felt what seemed like embarrassment, but it wasn't from him. Then he remembered, mental connection between intelligent beings. Zayxin was embarrassed by this? Why? "Zayxin is an amazing cook and will make sure you are well taken cared for, I wouldn't suggest anyone better to be a secretary or however you would like to call her position."

[System Notification: Your follower Zayxin is concerned about your well being after hearing what Jestra has just said]

Kaylin blushed, one from the high praise he gave Zayxin which made him feel very lucky. Two for being poked at for his well being not the best, which he couldn't control. Following third, the system telling him the Zayxin was concerned about him, why would she really care, they just met?

[System Notification: due to follower accepting the contract earnestly from their heart and soul without having to bring it up, status of relationship of follower Zayxin has been updated from acquaintance to devoted lieutenant]

D-devoted?! Is this the systems doing? I don't want the bonds I make to be forced!

[System Note from Jestra: HA! The system is incapable of doing that to souls, which is why it is called a Soul Contract. It was all you that made the bond that strong!]

Kaylin was surprised by this, but instead of being skeptical, he decided to try something. "Zayxin," the moment he said her name she sorted of jumped very slightly and possibly shivered as if happy he had said her name, "Would you like to stay standing, or would your prefer to sit down? It has been kind of crazy, so I was not able to ask, my apologies."

Ding!

[System Notice: Follower Zayxin feels super lucky that she has master that is considerate like you]

[System Notice: Follower Zayxin feels conflicted on where to be and is afraid to upset either you or Jestra]

Hmmm, this will make things easier to help make sure my other followers are happy and taken cared for that are under a Soul Contract with myself. "Zayxin, how about you grab a chair and sit at this end of the table so you are next to myself and Jestra, actually here, take my chair, I'll use the chair next to me."

"Th-thank you, erm... um..." Zayxin stammers.

"Just call me Kaylin if you are more comfortable with that Zayxin" Kaylin smiled as he gave the chair he was sitting on to Zayxin.

Zayxin nods quickly and tenderly takes the chair from Kaylin and set it down, sitting on the chair gently as Kaylin moves the empty chair to where he was sitting at the table.

Ding!

[PASSIVE SKILL ACTIVATED: DARK ELF PERCEPTION]

[System Notice: Jestra is amazed and in wonderment of you as a person, and slightly terrified out of respect of your growth, ability and capability as a Boon Holder.]

"Well, I can say that I believe that all parties are happy with how this is turning out right now." Jestra acclaimed happily. "I am pleased we were able to make this Boon Holder Contract happen Kaylin."

What happened next almost made Kaylin spit out his drink.

[System Notice: Unable to enter Soul Contract with Divine Being Jestra at this point in time. Become stronger and this will change.]
