So, I'm well aware these posts keep happening because everyone here is afraid of being Known, but... Well. I'm pretty sure if I don't get a permanent bond soon my roommate is going to strangle me, and I'd like to avoid that?

[Saori has very powerful mom energies and Bailey doesn't want to see her angry.]

Anyways, a brief introduction: I'm Bailey, I've been here for a while, I'm a faun... I'm not really sure what I can bring to a bond because things like "oh I can cook and play the piano" don't really seem like much of an offering.

(I can do those things, though.)

I guess I can help keep a witch from exploding, which might be good enough. Anyways, sorry for being another person looking for a bond on the watches. Just... Feel free to offer or ask questions or ruthlessly mock me for waiting this long.

Especially with that attitude.

[Damn kids!!]

If opening yourself up to a complete stranger meant they would know that you are not the person you say you are, or that calls into question who and what you are as a person... Would you jump at the chance?

I am very different from the person I am in my memories. I didn't want to risk someone I can't trust knowing those things about me, when I don't know what they would do with that information. Not that it's anything nearly as dramatic as some people's memories may be, but I don't want my sense of self disrespected more than it already has been.

I would and I did, because the alternative was unthinkable.

[Ferran doesn't know anything about Bailey, who they were or who they are, but he nonetheless feels that the person he was before coming here was horrible, and that he'd like nobody to know about that at all. A small part of him would like to be sympathetic and understanding, but the petty, traumatized teenage Fae part doesn't care. And unfortunately, that's most of him right now.]

I would much rather be undermined and degraded than be responsible for hurting someone. And at least this way, I still know who I am, whatever someone else might think.

[He's got a lot of issues that led him to that point, but he still thinks it's the right decision, no matter who it was he bonded to.]

death mention i’m so sorry

[polterguide]

I know there are people who would kill me before I hurt anyone.

[Which is... The only alternative Bailey can consider, and perhaps they should be less okay with the thought of being killed over being dangerous.

Death, though, is a simple part of life. They’ve never been afraid of it.]

Have you ever had someone tell you you’re not who you are, or do you just assume that you’d be okay with it?

never be

[... it may say a few things that Ferran's inclination isn't to be alarmed over the fact that Bailey would be fine with dying. He understands the feeling more than he'll admit.]

What if they weren't nearby, though? Accidents can happen, even if you intend to never go anywhere without them. Going feral isn't limited to the full moons, either.

[Ferran is making an assumption, it's true. But he doesn't think it's one that's unfounded.]

I was forced to be someone I didn't want to be. Maybe that's not the exact same, but I'd argue that it's similar.
