Shina goes to set up her tent in the meantime, still keeping an eye and taking notes.

8942
Shina nods and continues taking notes.

8943
"Permission to intervene, sir?"

8944
Well, actually she'd have been doing a lot less in Beorhtric's case at least because he doesn't have those things to do.
There's still the 'potentially might get executed' and 'not getting paid until later'. I mean, for all we know, there IS no loot and thus Shina gets nothing.

8945
Yeah, but Syrgan is offering her a LOT of money upfront for more or less doing what she would've done anyway. Beorthric and everyone else were only going to pay her later AND Ludmilla could've executed her over it.

8946
on one hand, syrgan is part of the royal military and could give her authority to get it
on the other hand, so is ludmilla
conundrum

8947
shina confirmed for greatest magnificent bastard
seriously
now she's getting paid far more than the whole expedition would've paid her originally :P

8948
Shina obediently takes the journal and the Cirn and starts taking notes on said subject.
"Yes, sir."

8949
"Fine, I won't accept the contracts of your soldiers. I don't see any honour in sabotaging your leadership and I have no intention to challenge the laws of this land any further.

However, as this gentleman here is NOT under your leadership, you do not hold any authority here whatsoever. Furthermore, you have no right to tell me that I cannot take a lawfully offered contract; as part of the laws of this land you seem to be invoking upon me right now. Executing me on the spot would make yourself a criminal and thus subject to prosecution for unlawful murder.

So, good sir."

She produces a quill and a sheet of paper. One slot already has Shina's name on it. The other is waiting for a signature.
"Sign here, and I am yours to command, including cooking, horse-caring, errand-doing and bodyguarding, and I shall report to you and you alone and come when called, until such period as your payment is fully rendered or, failing that, you fail to keep to your side of the contract and thus with either result, ending our contract. I also charge extra for bringing my horse, so you will need to pay for extra lodgings.

Your signing of this contract will signify that you understand the terms, and if you claim otherwise, I may take that as failing to uphold the contract and thus ending it. Now, will you sign here, please?"

8950
((Shina, god damn it))
Shina heads over to him.
"Yes?"

8951
Shina raises an eyebrow. Her expression is rather calm, hiding her amusement at Ludmilla trying to get control of the situation back from her.

Perfect.
"Any other offers? It seems you guys can't live without me."

8952
And so Shina indirectly led a mutiny by getting everyone to pay her to stay. :P

8953
"That depends. Can you afford my fee?"

8954
Shina grabs the coins. She is suddenly far less hostile to Ludmilla.
"Consider me impressed. Anyone else would've stiffed me.."
She pockets the money.
"Unless one of you wants to hire me, I'll be on my way."

8955
"Don't bother picking a fight for my sake. I've said what I wanted. Elidyr has a point."
