[ Considering how long she's been here now and how... enthusiastic her Coven mentors have been about her finding a Bond, Yona's finally worked up the courage to try and use this strange device for herself and ask for some advice. ]

How did those of you who have made Bonds know that your partner was right for you? Was it just something casual and easy? Was it something deeper than that? Did you have a hard time finding someone when you first arrived?

[ Was that too intrusive? Insecure? She hopes not... ]

And those of you who haven't yet... what is it you're looking for?

Kind of? Only in hindsight, the odds were already in my favour, though. We knew each other already, good and bad. Knew I could count on them if a 3 meters lizard was trying to rip my spine out. I would jump into danger for them too.

Damn, I have a lot of thoughts about Bonds and the whole system, I could probably never shut up

I know you're laughing at me on the other side of the watch, I just know it.

Nevertheless, sometimes it may look that Bonds are like destined soulmates, you meet the one and you know it. Some Bonds were formed this way, yes— but there is more to that.

Some Bonds are out of necessity, others out of curiosity. If you'd rather not start by making a big leap, Coven offers potions that forge temporary Bonds. They're good for testing waters. That was my first experience with Bonds truth to be told.

Uh, huh.

It could be used this way. That's how I started with Archer— we wanted to explore Wildes and going bondless was not allowed. Though the upgrade to the real thing, that's always a big step.

Sometimes when he's in the mood, he's hovering around like a cat that pretends to not see you, but is mysteriously always two steps behind you. That's where it's more obvious.

I jest a lot, but I'm lucky to have both him and Lex.

Does all the answers you got helped you?

How about sweeping from the air to do a surprise kidnapping, is that also sweet?

[ He actually likes that, so it's not like he complains... ]

But yeah, he got a stern face, but he's a big softy inside. Don't let him scare you, you can totally bully him.

If you want to try with someone who is familiar to you I could offer myself as a tribute. There are plenty of job options to go outside the city too and the temporary bond is very helpful there.

[ ah, busted ] ...you're not wrong. It is fun, I enjoy surprises.

I have heard about that forest, and of people taking steps for healing it. I wasn't able to participate when the first expedition took place, but if they are in need of help again I shall lend them my magic.

The leylines were of interest to an old friend, you see.
futhark: (startled)

Sure, it's completely fine with me, wouldn't offer otherwise. I'm not going to speak for him but I don't expect a refusal. I've helped several friends like that already, so did he.

What brought that up?


[ Archer can be kinda weird, if it's near full moon and related to other dragons and biting ]
futhark: (grin)

[ Sasuga Archer! Looks like they both got the same idea at the same time... or maybe they talked about it, who knows? ]

What a fascinating mystery, indeed! How are you planning to find answers to that riddle?
