Sure, it is rare enough for the two of us to agree.

I feel like the Modron explaining his reason for his demand (making Xykon abide by a restriction on his speech forces him to consider his word which makes him oh-so-slightly less Chaotic, which is a win in the Modron's book) means it is part of their verbal agreement. The Quinton doesn't actually care how the sentences Xykon utters end (as shown by his immediate agreement to the exact opposite constraint), only that Xykon is reining himself in, this is just a convenient way for it to happen. Therefore Xykon stumbling and correcting himself is just as good to the Modron as Xykon doing it effortlessly. Hell, if Xykon did it effortlessly, it might even have meant that this wasn't a good restriction to use in the first place.
