Yeah.

Past me kinda fucked up, I guess? Don’t know why it came out this way, but it’s in a shape where anyone who learns about it hates me using it on them.

... How... does it work...?

I can take anyone’s injury, no matter how bad. They’ll be just fine.

But it’s literal. It just swaps over to me.

[lets out a strangled sound of disapproval]

[does little fingerguns at him]

That’s the usual reaction, yeah.

... I wonder if it could be hacked.

Hacked…?

Like with a contract. I mean, not that it would do much in an emergency, which is when these Blessings normally get used, but I always wonder about rebalancing things so they're less inconvenient.

[huh…]

I wouldn’t mind trying. Worst case it doesn’t work, right?

No. Worst case scenario, something totally unexpected happens. Everything I don't account for can become a potential loophole.

Huh…couldn’t you do like, a master clause? ‘In case the exact conditions aren’t a met for this thing, nothing happens to anyone?’

I can, but that means we then need to define said exact conditions in as much detail as possible and end up with a ten-page contract.

Which is why it's useless in emergencies.

Yeah, that sounds like a lotta thinking cap material.

Did you ever finish up the one you wanted to do so we can work on your room—?

... I had a draft but...

[stares him down lol]

But…?

[backs away slightly]

I-It can probably wait.

…

[slightly plaintive]

Was yesterday so embarrassing you just don’t wanna work with me anymore?

I thought I'd—give you space? To ffffrecover?

That’s nice of you, but the best way to get space to me is having something to do with my hands.

[opens and closes his hands a couple of times, as if grabbing something invisible]

Would... you prefer to have something to work on, then? Like a distraction?

Yyyyyes?

[eyeing his hands like ???]

[throws his arms up]

O-Okay! Okay.

[and then stiffly turns around to go look through a pile of papers on his desk]

[this is a very weird interaction but he watches him with a metaphorical hopeful tailwag anyway]

[after a moment, he seems to find what he was looking for and returns to offer Cobalt a ~four-page contract to review. the beautiful cursive stipulates things like whose room in what cabin from which Family the work will be performed, who will be doing said work (blank for now), what sort of work will be performed (with a few blank spaces), and which kind of tools and or Blessings will be used for it (also blank). it then goes on to detail how no harm or any kind of effects (physical, mental, emotional, or otherwise) should come to any of the Forge members working on it, but also not to any other inhabitants of the Siren's cabin or guests who may be there while the work is being done.

the legalese isn't completely incomprehensible, but it is advanced enough to require close attention in order to parse exactly what it all means.]

The more specific I can make it, the safer it will be for everyone involved, so I'll need some help filling in the blanks. Let me know if there's anything else that feels like it's missing, also...

[he appears to be able to get though the part relating to harm and effects on Forge and Sirens and Sirens guests without crazy difficulty, thank you FOSHA, but struggles through the rest]

Man. Do you have actual lawyers helping when you do this stuff? This is crazy precise already, at least to me.
