Uh, I suppose anyone can weigh in, but especially people who have gone though bonding with someone else:

What was the ceremony like? Did you do anything special for the person you were bonding with? If you didn’t, why not?

[ Han also switches to audio for the sake of matching format and because he can’t type as fast as he can talk, anyway. ]

Uh, yeah. I’ve ... [ His voice trails off prompting him to need to start again. ]

We had a thing when we were teenagers and have known each other since we were kids.

[proficience]

Then you should, at the very least, have a wonderful meal prepared in advance! Or a reservation at a nice restaurant. Unless --

This loved one of yours is a vampire.

[He softly sighs at that, since he still misses his favorite food.]

[runningscams]

She’s a merrow. So maybe skip seafood?

[ He’s actually not trying to be a smarmy. Honestly, trying to decide what a nice romantic meal for them should be just isn’t his strong suit. ]

[proficience]

[He actually snorts out a laugh.]

Yes! You should avoid that at all costs. What about pasta, then? I'm sure there's a very nice Italian restaurant around.

[runningscams]

Yeah, pasta, that’s way better.

[ It’s not like Han to obsess over little details, but then, on a typical day he’s not getting magically bonded to someone. ]

A gift might be taking it overboard, huh? Like trying too hard.

[proficience]

I don't think so. You've known each other for a long time. I'd given my Bonded a present soon after the fact, and I don't think doing so was trying too hard.

[But he's still concerned it may never be used.]

[runningscams]

Can I ask what? You don’t gotta tell me if you don’t want to, but I’m curious.

[proficience]

A notebook. He'd always wanted to become a writer, so I figured that gift was an obvious choice.

[runningscams]

I like that. It’s thoughtful.
