''Lady Geist and Johann Jr. are in Lady Geist's home. Lady Geist pours Johann Jr. a cup of tea, which he drinks.''

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' So how's it going with Oathkeeper?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Surprisingly well. You were right... He was very eager to renegotiate the terms.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' What's he want?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' For me to make contact with the Patrons.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Oma, you're in this mess because you made a deal with a spirit and now you want to go out into The Maelstrom and make a deal with another?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm not making a deal with The Patrons, I'm just using them as a notary...

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' W-What do you mean?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Well, as you know, life is brought with life. The Patron is a means to... increase the exchange rate, so to speak.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Why not just ask them to banish Oathkeeper?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Why would I do that?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' The whole point was to get rid of that thing!

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' No, the point was to save my life! We've already established that you're incapable of repairing the ward, so where does that leave me? Oathkeeper escapes his prison: I die. Oathkeeper is banished from my person: I grow old. Both are unacceptable.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' You're acting like growing old is a death sentence!

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' It is!.. And it is slow. And painful. You don't understand what it's like to have your body grow frail and decrepit... for your mind to shrivel... to have others stare at you with nothing but pity... No. I will not die a crone. And if I make Oathkeeper happy? I won't have to.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I won't be a part of this.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Don't be stupid. You ''are'' a part of this.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Not any more I'm not. If you think I'll help you-

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Darling. You don't have a choice.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Go to hell, Oma...

''Johann collapses on the ground, spilling the drugged cup of tea.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oathkeeper. How much is he worth?

'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' My, my. You are full of surprises, Jeanne.<center>'''Followed by:'''
