"I can understand why you didn't necessarily read the terms and conditions of the contract." Raven said. "I don't expect it to come up now, but always read contracts carefully when it comes to magic. They're often more binding, and the wording is often full of loopholes, so you want to be REALLY specific, with them."
[Raven figured she wasn't really telling Mami anything new, but just in case.]
"Also...usually beings who don't mean you well, are the ones who use contracts. It could be simple--like in your case, you might object to being 'alive' the way you are now. But Kyubey wouldn't want you to come back to him and say that he hadn't followed the terms. He saved your life, he just neglected to be up front about how he'd do it."
[Raven, for her part, was instantly suspicious of Kyubey just from this. Omission of information in a magical binding was a common underhanded tactic. It relied upon assumptions, and leading the other person to the wrong conclusions.]
"What does a witch have to do with a grief-seed? How does it work with your gem?"
