[ 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?

[ What a fascinating explanation! ]

I see! I think? So you two share a soul... almost as a reflection of you, then?

[ Like looking into a mirror's reflection, but... different. ]

[omnicrafter]

Aye. It is a strange situation to be in, I grant you, but I don't feel any differently for it.

She and I are probably the most similar of those of us with that piece of shared soul here, besides. I suppose it's a natural conclusion.

That said, have you succeeded in finding a Bond partner yet yourself?

[darkestbefore]

There are other shards here, as well?

Ahh, no, not quite. Although it's helped with my perspective in those I may consider for it. My mentors at the Coven were starting to make it sound fairly urgent, since I'm approaching my third month here in the city, but...

It still feels a little rushed in truly knowing someone, at times.

[omnicrafter]

Yes. And of people I know who do not know me, though most are as fragmented as I.

Where will you draw the line, though? Is preserving your life more important to you, or trusting your Bond partner? It's true that emotions tend to leak through, and that it can be an easy way to take advantage of someone if one were that type of person... On the other hand, I've heard death is an eventual consequence of not Bonding.

[darkestbefore]

I suppose I'm still deciding where that line is. I certainly do not want to risk hurting anyone else. I guess I'm just hoping I'll be able to find someone I'm comfortable enough with before that becomes an issue...

[omnicrafter]

That is wise. I had another Bond, too, but I lost it because I hurt him without meaning to. So those things can happen. I'd been sure things would be all right at the time we made it, but...

It's certainly a difficult decision, but time won't wait on you to make up your mind, either. Do you have any candidates in mind yet, or are you just feeling out the territory and hoping something sticks?
