( he can't say the idea doesn't soothe him. if it's not the guard's throat he's liable to rip out, surely anyone will do. with a heavy glance at harmony, he picks up a pen, straightens out a piece of paper, and begins to write.

he narrates, ) "I, Klaus Mikaelson, a Dominant, agree to a contract of three months with Harmony Kendall, a submissive, in order to avoid conducting certain mutilation and murder..."

( he actually scrawled "upon the following stipulations", but that doesn't have the same ring to it. with a peek up at harmony, he smiles. )

"1. That we fulfill in part or whole our respective monthly quotas,

2. That she resides with in my household at least half of each month,

3. That she behaves according to the laws of the city, and

4. That she may work and manage her finances independently of me."

( he slides the paper over. ) Anything to add?

[ Resting her chin in her hands, Harmony watches as he starts to write the contract, smiling when he speaks out loud. She fails to hide a snort at the mention of mutilation and murder, biting down on her lip afterwards. ]

Okay, that looks good but I do wanna add something.

[ Taking the pen from him, she turns the paper around so that it faces her and makes it easier to write on. ]

5. That both Dominant and Submissive respect each other's space and belongings.

6. That they will let each other know if they are bringing someone over for quota or otherwise.

[ She pauses, tapping her chin in thought. ]

7. That they will be honest with each other.

[ He'll notice that she's put the occasional heart doodle over some the i's. Very representive of a late 90s, early 2000's high school girl. ]

Lemme just sign it and there! You just need to sign it too.

( his brows lift at the supposition of guests being welcome, though he supposes it a necessary compromise. should he not like any of her visitors, it would be easy enough to get rid of them. the last point is more interesting to him anyhow. klaus accepts the paper and pen again. (he does note the hearts with some patient endearment.)

he takes his time signing his name in long flourishes. ) Has an honest partner been a past difficulty of yours?

[ It’s not like Harmony knew a lot of people, but what if she wanted to have a girl’s night? (That would require making some female friends) Just like she did with Cordy when they were in school together.

Figures he would have a fancy signature as well. ]

I mentioned my jerk of an ex, right? Well, he wasn’t always honest with me. Went behind my back and then he started crushing on a slayer. I mean hello? They want to kill our kind!

[poppycock]

I suppose. ( he finishes his signature. considering he is unkillable, the thought hadn't occurred to him—at least since faith was all-too willing to take the risk. he makes a note to tell her once they leave here, with all the jail's prying ears and eyes, that he has slept with at least one slayer. since she is also a dominant, it seems unwise to confess here. ) His heart and his cock strayed. Clearly he didn't value you.

You will not find that with me, ( he adds. )

[unharmonious]

He only valued me when it was convenient. [ Harmony huffs, rolling her eyes. ] Don’t even get me started on how he strayed when his crazy ex turned up. Dorcas. No, Drusilla.

[ Feeling that she was getting sidetracked, she shakes it off and offers Klaus a smile. ]

That’s good. I appreciate being valued. A little validation now and again does wonders for a gal.

[ She beams. ]

Hey, guards. We’ve signed the contract so Klaus needs to be released. Like five minutes ago.
