[ 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?

He just mentioned you were the one he was bonded with! I hadn't realized!

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...

[futhark]

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?

[darkestbefore]

Is that what he does to you? That sounds rather sweet, though! [ Even if she doubts Archer would appreciate that sentiment... ]

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...

[futhark]

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.

[darkestbefore]

[ She's already onto you, Cu. ]

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?

[futhark]

[ 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.

[darkestbefore]

Then even more reason to go see if we can help, yes?

...Are you certain you and Archer are alright with this? I do not wish to be a burden on you - or your bond.

[futhark]

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 ]

[darkestbefore]

Ahh, well... He offered a bond with me, if I so wished. Although I'm not sure he was speaking of a temporary one.

[futhark]

[ 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?
