"Make a contract? What do you mean?" Leon asked, curiosity in his voice.
Astra sat back down, the smile never leaving her lips. "A contract is exactly what it sounds like. You and I will form an interconnected bond—just like the one you have with the Fairy Queen."
She glanced at the back of Leon's hand, where a faint flower symbol marked the contract between him and the Fairy Queen.
"Ah... so it's like that. I see," Leon murmured with a small nod.
He crossed one leg over the other and folded his arms. "So, how do we begin the contract?"
Astra's smile deepened as she replied, "Leave it to me."

He got to his feet and glanced at the back of his left hand, where a faint green tree symbol glowed softly.
A helpless sigh escaped his lips as he smiled wryly. "I already have contracts with Miranda and the Fairy Queen, and now Astra too. Isn't this getting a bit much?"
