[She takes a breath and thinks over what Archer had said specifically.] The seals are a contract between us. He'll do as I ask, within reason and his own morals willingly, and I can force him to perform three commands even if he's unwilling with the seals. In exchange, I give him energy. Mana, magical essence. He's drawing a slow trickle from my Sailor Crystal now.
[And with as much energy as a Sailor Crystal had, it wasn't even noticeable.]
It's negligible to me, but it allows him to stay in this world, and keep a body. In a way? I'm feeding him, I guess, as he's a being that consists solely of energy. It allows him to craft a body for himself.
[A beat.]
As for his tasks, obviously I'll never force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. You know that. He'll cook and clean, but he likes doing that anyway? And he'll watch over our home when we're asleep. He's good at that. And he's sworn to defend me, personally, if enemies attack and he's...well, he's powerful. Experienced. Not that I need a body guard, but it certainly can't hurt.
