[ 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?

Wait, a marriage?

[ She's certainly missed a step here. What does marriage have to do with this? ]

Your surprise delights me. Yes!! The Bonding process quite literally ties the knot of the couple's magical signatures... In other words, their souls! How intimate... Yes. Thus, "a marriage of the souls."

[darkestbefore]

I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Although others are thinking of it as far more of a test sort of thing? I don't know how many have told me, if it doesn't work out you can just end it.

[ Marriage is definitely not an 'endable' arrangement to her. ]

[glitzandglamour]

[Marriage divorce... Bond divorce... Both perfectly endable arrangements.]

Yes. Of course you can end it, darling! That's why, even if you've only just met the person, if you feel it in your heart... There's scarcely a risk to Bonding. I've even heard of some taking temporary Bonds, to start... Though, regular Bonds can be annulled, too.

That way, you can find the one you want to keep. How romantic...
