This contact supplies the ability to ask for what one wants without spoiling the mood. The native can flirt, negotiate, sell and apologise, and can do all four in the same afternoon. It is an aptitude, not a compulsion; plenty of people carrying it are shy and never find out. Where it is exercised, others notice a person who is pleasant company and somehow always ends up with the arrangement they preferred, without anyone feeling they were handled.
In love it produces courtship that is neither hesitant nor overwhelming. The native makes their interest known, tolerates a delay, and does not sulk if the answer is no. Physical affection is straightforward. In work it shows wherever charm has to accompany effort: agents, hosts, buyers, craftsmen who deal with clients directly. There is usually some manual or physical skill in which taste and force are combined, whether cooking, dance, sport or a trade with tools in it.
The failure is simply neglect. Nothing hurts, so the native may never test whether they can hold their ground when charm stops working, and the first genuinely hostile negotiation finds them without a second gear. There can also be a preference for the easy pleasure over the demanding one, since both wanting and enjoying are so readily satisfied here. What develops the contact is deliberately pursuing something that does not yield to being asked nicely.
