''Lady Geist rings the doorbell to Maximilian Fairfax's office.''

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Enter.

''Lady Geist enters.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Maximilian.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Jeanne.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' How are you?

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Vexed.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm sorry to hear that, perhaps I can help.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' I don't suppose you know where my son is?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I thought he died?

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' So did I. But tomorrow's problems are for tomorrow. Please. Have a seat.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Aren't you going to offer me a drink?

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' I'm not here to serve you, Jeanne. You're more than welcome to help yourself. Now, what can I do for you?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' More like "What can we do for each other?"

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' You're not actually going to pretend that you have something I need, are you?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Who's pretending?

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Ha, this should be good.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I didn't come here to be insulted.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' No, you came here because you needed my help. You can dress it up however you want, but let's be honest: my phone doesn't ring unless people want something.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And you don't return calls if you think someone is going to waste your time.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' ...This is true.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I accept your apology.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' So. What can we do for each other?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You are a man with powerful enemies.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' I have enemies. "Powerful" is a bit generous. [Scoffs], says the crone who's conviced the world she's in the prime of her life.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I see you've heard the rumors. Good. That saves me time. Your confidence is inspiring; unfortunately, reality does not bend around your bravado...

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' So Oathkeeper...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Is very real.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Ahh, and you...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm tired of bearing his weight.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Go on.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Something this powerful can't be left to its own devices. It needs guidance. A strong hand... Something you alone can provide.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Yes, yes, and in exchange?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' There are some... guarantees that I'd like to see in place in regards to my foundations as well as my safety.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' I assume you'll want a blood contract?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Naturally.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' I can have a notary here in a few days. Should be plenty of time to settle on terms.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Wonderful.

''Cuts to 3 days later. The blood contract has been signed and Oathkeeper is now bound to Fairfax.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement.

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' Oathkeeper is in safe hands.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Maximilian, so long as I'm in safe hands, I'm satisfied.

''Lady Geist leaves.''

'''[[Maximilian Fairfax|Fairfax]]:''' So. Oathkeeper... Are you ready to change the world?

'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' Mr. Fairfax, I thought you'd never ask.
