[an order. hiro considers the merits of asking her to make some sort of complicated meal, but he did that once and replacing the stove was... exciting. as it turns out, just because something (or somebody) is ordered to cook does not make them actually good at it.
one hand gets brought up to his chin. hm. let's think about this. what would be a good order... nothing dangerous but clearly something she wouldn't choose to do.]
Muzét. Do a handstand, and continue to do so until told otherwise.
[a shock is going to go through her. she's probably been summoned before and ordered before. how much she has to obey the commands depends on the summoner; with weak summons she's merely present and can pretty much do whatever she wants; with stronger ones there's a ... compulsion, but one that can sometimes be ignored or put off if it conflicts with her own wishes (to a degree - she couldn't do things like 'attack her summoner' outside of the summoning pact being broken by ordering her to do something obviously self-destructive, like immolating herself.
and even then it can be iffy, depending on the circumstances and need. generally more "important" orders (say, "go fight this monster") are harder to counteract than more "trivial" orders (say, "do a handstand".)
what happens now should be deeply concerning to muzét, because he has given her an extremely trivial and nearly pointless order, and not only does she feel compelled to do it... like, it is a definite for real compulsion. this is stronger than when many summoners have told her to do actual important things - like not just physical compulsion but some level of mental compulsion too, like it's difficult to even think about anything other than "doing a handstand and holding it" being pretty much the most important thing in the world right now.
for the part of her that is not concerned with "need to do a handstand right now", this should confirm something. prior to this, there were two options:
a] he was the world's laziest, most incompetent summoner, which would explain the lack of preparation, no magic circle, no chanting, no candles, etc. any order would have been easy to ignore and she could have done whatever she wanted until the summon duration ended.
b] he was an extremely powerful summoner, which explains the lack of and means she's here until dispelled and he has an incredible amount of control.
who knows which one she was hoping for, but it turns out it is very definitely b.]
