How about:
Trickster, I will shelter you with my good right arm. I will stand between you and the wrath of the righteous. I will accept and enforce your obedience for as long as it pleases me. I swear by Orlanth's Beard and my own soul that no-one shall kill or harm you. Except me.
And the nature of the relationship says that you had better be able to back up that promise or be short of a Trickster pretty damn quick. Jane, keep the Sword of Humakt for a later stage in the campaign. For now, the wrath of the clan elders ought to be enough for a new Initiate to stand up to.
