question. what's supposed to go into a bonding vow? how did your bonding ceremonies go? are you supposed to wear something nice? bring presents? would appreciate some advice.

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

[marmoron]

do you even have a bond?

[finesseblade]

what? of course I have a bond. I'm not an idiot.
considering you don't even know what the process entails, I suppose that makes one of us...

[marmoron]

i wasn't implying you're an idiot
i was implying your attitude makes it seem unlikely that you'd find someone to bond with
but now that i've had to explain the difference, i guess i am calling you an idiot

[finesseblade]

Oh, please. I only meant that I have a bond because I would be feral without one, that's all.
The point is, it's a practical thing to have, and not one you need to overthink so much. If you're comfortable with your bonded, and your bonded with you, the ceremony won't matter so much.

[marmoron]

alright. sorr about the annoyance on my end
but if you were getting bonded not just for convenience's sake would you still just do the bare minimum?

[finesseblade]

Ah... I'm not sure. That's a frightening thought.
Perhaps the two of you should exchange weapons as part of an oath of partnership, then?

[ This is definitely Felix's idea of a sappy gesture between two people who are close. ]
