[ 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?

it's a different kind of bond but it's just as valid! even with a real bond i would never give up my bonds with my dragons.

it is an important decision. you shouldn't let yourself feel pressured to hurry into something you aren't sure about. but if there's someone you feel like you can trust it doesn't hurt to bring up the subject with them sometime.

for me, at least, the symptoms of going without came on slow, so you'll most likely know before things get dire. don't believe all the panic.

[ She's sure what he said was very encouraging and helpful and she'd come back to that, but for the moment, her brain is still stuttering over his first sentence in delight. ]

Your dragons?

[This happens a lot that he manages to derail a conversation with dragons.]

i have two of my dragons from home with me here, toothless and sharpshot. it's been really good having them around and they've been great familiars.

[darkestbefore]

[ The way he describes them makes them sound a little more like Ao than her dragons, but she can't help but be excited anyway. ]

Oh that's wonderful! I'm so glad you still have companions from home to keep you company. Are there many dragons in your world or are they rare?

[thisisamazing]

we have tons of dragons, hundreds just on berk - my island. it's pretty incredible. i miss it, but i know i'd miss it a lot more if i didn't have them here with me.

Oh my goodness, that sounds incredible! They are more like creatures of legend where I come from. They dwell among the heavens with the gods and there are very few who can claim to have ever encountered them.

[ Although that's a little different from his dragons, but it makes them no less special. ]

i've heard about other worlds like that too, where they're so rare as to be mythical. i can't imagine, honestly!

you know if you wanted to see some real dragons, not people dragons that live here but

i live out at the phoenix tear. the clinic based in the barracks. you could come by and see them sometime.

[darkestbefore]

Really?

[ She doesn't mention that the dragons she knows from home are also sort of people-dragons. This sounds like something different. ]

I would love that!

you're welcome any time! we're not too hard to find, haha. and- you know, good luck with your bond thoughts, i hope things work out for you.

Thank you for that. I appreciate your advice - and your invitation. It means a great deal.
