[ 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?

So you gambled and came out with good fortune?
no subject
Damn, I have a lot of thoughts about Bonds and the whole system, I could probably never shut up
no subject
Cú, you have a lot of thoughts about a great many things.
[ She's not sure she's yet discovered a subject he doesn't have thoughts on, actually. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
[ She definitely is. ]
So a temporary bond functions more like... a trial of what a real one would be?
no subject
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.
no subject
I suppose that does take a great deal of the pressure off of the decision, if you can try it first to see how it would work...
no subject
I jest a lot, but I'm lucky to have both him and Lex.
Does all the answers you got helped you?
no subject
You have two bonded?
I think so. It gave me a lot to think about, at the very least. I suppose I should sit down and figure out who I would feel the most comfortable approaching for this...
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
That sounds like something you would consider fun.
I'm not afraid of him. He strikes me as very kind and protective. I've enjoyed the times we've gotten to talk. And he protected me in the Marketplace when we were in the Underground city.
That's true! And I was listening to them wanting to gather people to go out and help heal the forest... I would like to try. Perhaps it would be a good testing ground?
no subject
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.
no subject
...Are you certain you and Archer are alright with this? I do not wish to be a burden on you - or your bond.
no subject
What brought that up?
[ Archer can be kinda weird, if it's near full moon and related to other dragons and biting ]

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