Promise promise?

[SHE IS CHECKING THE BOND REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW TO BE SURE OKAY.]

[marmoron]

don't talk about yourself like that
your bonded better not see you that way

[bravelyathome]

It's the truth.
But it's okay Mr. Stranger.
You don't need to learn about all of that.

Your ceremony will be really nice as long as you two do what makes you feel good.

[marmoron]

maybe your bonded is just a weird human?
and did you talk about your vows too or was that planned out separately?

[knowledgeordeath]

All humans are odd based on my experience with them.

And no. There was little time since it was vital he have a reliable bond immediately.
The fact that he had gone this long without one was a fault in security since bonds are partially a matter of mental and physical safety.

Promise promise.

[No angy here! Just... gentle amusement, tbh.]

[bravelyathome]

You have to promise you'll message me when you make jokes like this too.

Warn me.

[loverboi]

nope
no issues at all here, sir
none at all

[knowledgeordeath]

I can feel what you feel, Paladin.

[loverboi]

ughhhh
just
it's not flesh care, that sounds weird
it's skin care

[knowledgeordeath]

I see.
Why does one sound stranger than the other?

[marmoron]

look. i'm the one asking questions here.

[loverboi]

"flesh" just sounds...you know
flesh-y.
gooey

[knowledgeordeath]

This is another matter of pride for your appearance then.
Acknowledged.

[loverboi]

NO???
look
okay
i'll explain this all to you later i don't wanna take over this post, holy quiznak

[marmoron]

[ Right well even if Kolivan doesn't say what his end of the vow was, Keith is willing to bet the phrase "bonds are a matter of mental and physical security" may have featured... ]

all of them? ok who's the oddest one?

and if you were able to bond in less dire circumstances, would you have done anything differently?

[knowledgeordeath]

Very well. We will discuss this later in person.

[knowledgeordeath]

The red and yellow Paladins.

I would have seen to more careful planning but otherwise no. I would not have.

dude i'm trying to ask about bonding ceremonies
youre the one who brought up random people???? LOL
anyway would you wear pajamas to a bonding ceremony if you were getting bonded to someone important?

[loverboi]

no???
normally i'd dress nicer for the occasion but this was an emergency
anyway what i was trying to say is that it's all circumstantial
i don't think the coven has rules for this stuff

[galrarm]

I don't have one myself yet, but judging from the other replies it seems to me that what matters is your feelings and what you say. It shouldn't be performative if you're not that type of person; Bonds are built on trust, after all, right?

[marmoron]

[ ...oh. ]

what was so odd about them?
what else would you have planned for?

[izanyagi]

Yes but isn't it something other countries do sometimes be renewing their vows?

I could make a more cat-pun one.

[marmoron]

[ Shiro if only he could ask you things anonymously sometimes without it being really obvious after a while.... ]

and convenience according to some
but yeah, you're right
it's just ... feelings are hard, i guess?

[marmoron]

right
i just don't really know what i'm doing i guess
