question on the Waterbearer Special

The waterbearer special move:
"When you and another character have sex, ask them
to do something for you. Whether they agree or
refuse in the moment, if they go on to do it, you mark
experience."

Because I'm a nit-picky weirdo, I just want to double check that it is, in fact, the waterbearer that gets to mark xp if the person they have sex with does what they want.

Yes, I'd agree that's how that works.

I mean, how else can you parse that sentence?

There IS no other way to parse the sentence!
But I'm a weirdo who looks for possible typos everywhere, and it occurred to me that if the person who slept with the waterbearer was the person getting the xp, the move is basically letting the waterbearer offer the "carrot" of seduce/manipulate for free, so I wanted to make sure that wasn't the situation.

Thank you Vincent, for humoring me!  I have another question about the waterbearer, but I'll post it in a separate thread.
