[Ohey, he remembers this kid. They haven't talked in a while.]

don't need one myself, but i'm willing to help if you do

[hippocarnival]

[That obvious, huh...]

only if its not trouble!

i know it can be kind of uncomfortable if you dont know someone

[Or is that just him? He's not sure he wants to be sharing emotions that directly with anyone... but he's aware he doesn't have much of a choice.]

[selfishwish]

I think I maybe need to start looking for one. U(`ヘ´)U

It's really confusing, though!!

[hippocarnival]

if you have any questions i can try to answer them?

i learned a lot before we left for dorchacht

[firewalled]

yuya are you okay?

[Probably not but...]

[hippocarnival]

im okay!!

[eluci]

[He had a feeling.]

it's not

ngl though it is weird

[But it keeps him from losing his head on full moons, so he can deal with it.]

[hippocarnival]

his name is ignis right?

the person youre bonded to

i dont think ive met him yet

[eluci]

ignis, yeah

he's one of them. Prompto is the other. he has his own courier business, so you might've seen him around.

[hippocarnival]

so you already have two bonds!

are you really close?

[Yuya is breaking his own heart thinking about his friends.]

[eluci]

[Noctis doesn't even want to think about how lost he'd be without at least one of his friends here. Poor Yuya.]

Guess so.

not like siblings or anything but we've been through a lot together.

[hippocarnival]

[He does it to himself, every time someone comes up with two friends/bonded.]

are they people from your home?

[eluci]

yep

grew up with one, met the other in high school.

[hippocarnival]

i think its lucky you have them

even if it means youre all stuck here at least youre here together

not worrying

[eluci]

yep

i take it you're waiting for some friends to show up?

[hippocarnival]

not waiting!

i couldnt really ask them to be here instead of home

i know theres no choice but im trying not to hope

just wish i could let them know im okay

[eluci]

[That's...very optimistic. Huh.]

huh.

maybe they already know

and that's why they haven't shown up here.

[He's helping?]

[hippocarnival]

i guess we dont really know what's happening back there

[It's unlikely... but not something he dwells on much because he knows there's not much he can do. Especially after that fake potion. Especially because even if they knew they'd be jumping across dimensions to get to him anyway, which is both wonderful and also so painful right now.

Were they talking about bonds? He's gotten distracted.]

[eluci]

['Don't dwell on it if you can't change it' is a good way to look at things. It would be nice for Noctis himself to follow it, but he's more of a 'dwell on it even if you can't change it and also feel guilty about it forever' kind of person.]

not at all.

I'd know less than you either way, so w/e

[selfishwish]

Did you have a temporary one while you were there??

[He remembers seeing people who'd gone to the other city talking about doing that, so he assumes that's what "learned a lot" means! Since it's hard to imagine that there are "So, You Want to Be Spiritually Linked to A Stranger from Another Dimension" guidebooks floating around out there...]

What did it feel like? [There's a quick beat between messages.]

...oops, maybe that's rude to ask??

[hippocarnival]

but didnt you get here first since you already have bonds?

[Or is it just Yuya waiting almost 3 months in.]

[hippocarnival]

i dont think its rude to ask!!

like we should know what were getting into but

i didnt have a bond

i mean nobody needed me to bond and i was okay

[Something something, do as he says not as he does... except now he really needs to do as he says too.]

the way ive heard it its like you can sense the other person

their emotions or how far away they are

it keeps magic stable between witches and monsters so they dont explode or go feral but i dont know if thats something you feel

[eluci]

I've been here for almost 6 months

got bonded pretty much right away...heard it was bad not to

[hippocarnival]

yea

thats twice as long as me!

it was okay for a while but i dont want to know how far i can push it

[eluci]

I wouldn't if i were you. dunno what happens to witches without bonds exactly but I doubt it's worth finding out
