[Rook smiles warmly, offering Fishcake head rubs as he considers the offer. For the moment, at least, it seems they're all one little family now!
As tempting as the offer is, though..... The more he thinks about it, the wiser it seems to refuse. Not on account of being worried about Jade tampering with the terms, as much as he realizes the man probably would like to. But he needs to step up and take some responsibility, doesn't he? Delegating menial bureaucratic tasks like paperwork can wait until after he's proven himself a Dominant both fit to and committed to taking care of a Submissive. To send him on his own would just be..... sloppy. Not necessarily callous, perhaps, but not conscientious, either. That's the sort of thing he needs to pay careful attention to now, isn't it? Status is everything in this city.]
Better to handle it together, I think. What would our hosts think of me neglecting my duties to you before the contract was even drawn up, let alone signed? We would both suffer from my reputation slipping by such carelessness.
