you profess your unending devotion and love for them while staring directly into their eyes. and you wear matching hats.

[marmoron]

does it HAVE to be something like that???
and why the matching hats?

Your clothes and the exact words don't matter. What is relevant is your preference and your Bonded's preference, if that holds any meaning to you.

I was guided by a witch through the process and said only what was on my mind. Gifts weren't exchanged.

[sylphid]

[oh he's actually taking it seriously. this could be more fun than she thought.]

or something as vulnerable. it's a very important ritual.

to show your connection. why else?

[turmoiling]

I believe the level of formality is a matter of personal opinion. Perhaps your should let the nature of your relationship dictate such things?

i literally went to my last one in what i wore to sleep
it was an emergency okay don’t judge me

[ why does he get the feeling he knows who this might be though.

(spoilers: he doesn’t) ]

[marmoron]

[ SQUINT. How is it that Sasuke is seemingly the reassuring voice of reason here. Why does he not trust this... ]

ok so what was on your mind?

Every one of mine were as elaborate as a formal wedding, and we dressed appropriately. Gifts were exchanged. Tears were shed. They were beautiful.

[Definitely trolling, even if he's pretty sure Lorenz would have preferred a fancy ceremony if their circumstances were less desperate.]

[ What did I do to you, Keith– OH WAIT THAT'S RIGHT, you framed me ]

I'm here telling you the honest minimum requirement because you're being misled by fools and you want to further question me? No, it's personal.

It's not that deep.

[marmoron]

[ Oh god how to put this... ]

well yeah sure but they're really into fancy formal things even if we are just friends
i know it'd be easier to ask but i don't want them to know i've been thinking about it a lot

[stopfen]

We turned up. He asked when my birthday was, told me I was his senpai and he'd never forget my birthday.

That was it.

why would you do any of that? just say the vows and get it over with
you're wasting time on extravagance over something that's as much a necessity here as eating or sleeping

[fiddlestick]

The hats did add a nice touch to our ceremony, I'll give you that.

[izanyagi]

We could always redo a new ceremony?

I could bake a cake.

Haha, I think it depends on the people being bonded. Some people make it into a nice formal affair, while other people do it quick and easy!

So I'd just pick a style that suits the relationship with your partner!

[sylphid]

you were so adorable.

[marmoron]

[ ...oh shit it's Lance. Time to be extra cool and not say anything that might out himself here!!
Let's start by not calling him "dude."]

seriously?
are you still bonded with them?

private

[loverboi]

for now, it’s a temp bond
dw though allura your secret’s safe with me
we talked about this remember?

[ NO ]

[marmoron]

[ ..... ]

you're the guy who was asking people if they'd killed people while speed dating
of course im going to ask questions

[marmoron]

ok but why
did you do that for all of your bonded? even the ones you're just friends with?

[fiddlestick]

Do you have to phrase it like that...?
I'm on your side here.
