oh so you're a troll with scruples.

i just thought it hurt or something if you break a bond?
wait. did people make that one up too.

[loverboi]

well
you know your bondmate better than i do, i'm sure. just go with your gut
i don't know who this is so i can't really help you as much as i want to but
if you ever feel okay with it and need anymore help, i'm lance
hit me up anytime

as long as you don't tell allura

[ RIP to you, Keith.... ]

Convenience is valid, at least.
And I know a thing or two about how difficult it can be to talk about your feelings.
Easier said than done sometimes, but... just go with what's right for you.
I'm sure your bonded will understand, though, especially if it's someone you know.

[marmoron]

but they like fancy things and i don't like fuss.
at the same time, i want them to be happy and have the things they want, too.
but i also don't want them to know i've been thinking about this stuff
i'm not like this normally it's stupid

[galrarm]

Any relationship is built on compromise.

[ ... His mind's wandering a bit, caught in the past, but. ]

You can't take and not give back equally, but the same is true--giving too much results in an imbalance.
And to be fair to you, stranger, I don't think it's stupid.
It just means you care, if you're putting this much thought into the ceremony. You want it to be meaningful to them, too, right?
But you shouldn't have to burn yourself up to make sure they've got what they want. I don't know who you're planning on being bonded to, but if they care about you, they'll understand.

[marmoron]

allura will never know
whoever she is
lol
might've heard of a lance though

[loverboi]

oh yeah?
what kinds of things have you heard?
it's gotta be that i'm the coolest guy around, right?

[marmoron]

[ ... he hates his life so much right now. Even if this is to help boost Lance's morale. ]

yep you nailed it XD

[loverboi]

okay i really hope that isn't sarcasm
assuming it isn't though
NICE ;)

[ you two.......... ]

[marmoron]

you just helped me!
why would i be sarcastic?

[loverboi]

you'd be surprised at how many haters i have

[ LANCE..... ]

but thanks, i appreciate it anon
you ever gonna tell me who you are or?

[marmoron]

i thought that's how you're supposed to care
you know. putting someone else's needs above your own?
even if it hurts or whatever. even if it hurts.
especially since people disappear from this place?
not that i'm hurting right now or anything
making them happy makes me happy too.

[marmoron]

ok but just so you know that isn't true at all
but i hope you're right about the ceremony
i just don't want it to be disappointing

... Do you think this person would like a gift?

[ From what the welcome talks said, it sounds as individual as it gets. So maybe what this person should concentrate on is their own bonding ceremony, right? ]

[battlebound]

You're supposed to say your vows and be done with it.

[ Buuuut then again, neither Steak nor his bonded are really fans of the Coven, and the less time they spend there, the better. ]

Why not just drink the potion?

[ Sure, it's a bit annoying to have to drink it every day, but it works. ]

[stopfen]

are they really that hard?

I don't know. But he seemed very happy about it. I'm afraid to ask.

[dj_jiraiya]

i guess... idk what else id say tho?

pls dont

[dj_jiraiya]

we did it 1st week we arrived, no friends or anythin here tbh
altho ig we coulda waited but we were just worried u kno?
not much, we were already partners b4 so it just more of the same
promise 2 b there 4 each other, protect each other, stuff like that.
we didnt think 2 hard on it!

also like, we werent dating at the time so it was platonic stuff.

I am preparing for my first ceremony too. In my research there doesn't seem to be a standard.

I don't think it hurts to make the event a little bit special. It is a ceremony afterall.

[BLISSFULLY UNAWARE]

[hoboagogo]

no im a faun

no i think it sucks if it gets broken on you
like if someone disappears but the spell was still in effect
but i aint broken any so who knows

I feel like you're the second person I've told in so little time to not think so much, less you trip over your own thoughts and make a fool of yourself.

[galrarm]

[ Hmm. He has... a feeling, here. ]

That's true. But it's true for the other person, too.
That's where compromise comes in. Even if making them happy makes you happy...
Would they be okay with you sacrificing so much for them?

[crestfallenfor]

Haha I'll try to remember to~

Sorry
