I honestly haven't been using this blasted watch as much as perhaps I should have. It just never seemed important.

But I have received some advice from someone and I suppose I am now putting it into practice, despite my trepidation.

My bonded left or vanished early last month. Or the month before; I can't quite remember. I managed the last full moon well enough, but I know from experience that it's just going to get worse or at least more difficult. And more to the point, I'm feeling horrendously lonely as of late.

So I'm looking for friends and companions, I suppose, with the potential to eventually form a bond. Not the most romantic thing I've ever done, but this place isn't all that romantic to begin with, is it?

Still not used to this whole "mortal" thing, though.

You're not the first to say so.

[On Tierra, all his name does is mark him out as a Food Soul. Here... it's gained more than a few raised eyebrows.]

'Dreadful' is an apt word to use, though I don't believe I have a word in any language I know that accurately describes my feelings towards being here.

[wylderrant]

To be fair, I'm the only Iramaat I know, so I know all about unusual names...

[ She shrugs. ]

And yes... it's different and strange and even if it's pleasant at times I'm also just frustrated with it in so many ways. I don't really know what else to say about it. I feel like as soon as I get used to the place it throws something else at me.

[judgementor]

Mm... I understand that feeling entirely.

[He frowns slightly at the table, a thought passing through his mind like an unpleasantly chill shadow, then he looks up at her again with a small smile.]

I struggle to understand how some have taken to it so readily. I'm no stranger to magic - it's abundant on Tierra - but this... is something else entirely.

[wylderrant]

Some people simply adjust faster, I imagine.

[ Iramaat makes a low 'hmmm' noise. ]

And some find these circumstances less trying. It's been... all sorts of difficult for me, for a variety of reasons, honestly.

[judgementor]

[There's a barely visible hesitation before he asks, because he knows that the asking opens up to the question being returned... and he's been trying to keep his mind off it.

But--...]

Would it be too intrusive of me to enquire as to what those reasons are?

[wylderrant]

I suppose not.

[ She sighs. ]

I've been dealing with... changes to my body like everyone, but also I'm mortal now - and of course my bonded has vanished. It's stressful.

[judgementor]

Hmm.

[He hadn't considered mortality to that extent, but... god, she's right, isn't she. Red Wine pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment, exhales slowly, then lets his hand drop.]

It is. I'm sorry to hear about your bonded.
