I'm seeking a permanent bond.

[Another one of those posts, though they don't normally come from someone who looks just like a cat. Mogget has done this before, though little came of it the last time and the person who had been temporarily bonding with him is no longer around.

Mogget shifts in place, his small paws planted together as he sits in front of the camera.]

I'm a witch. Familiars have suited me until now but I would prefer not to risk my magic becoming unstable.

[And that's it really. He doesn't want to explode, thanks.]

Respond at your leisure. I'm not looking for a friend. Think of this as more of a business proposition.

They just need a chance to understand. It's.... something that I've had to learn myself.

( Except... she isn't so sure that she accepts it completely yet. )

[themogget]

If they want to understand, but that's neither here nor there and no real concern of mine.

[He is not, after all, here to educate someone else on how to accept that he is really a cat (and not a turnskin, or a familiar, or a humanoid witch who got stuck that way).]

But I don't think we're talking about me anymore, are we.

[lightblooming]

( He's right. This cat -- they're rather observant, aren't they? )

... I'm sorry. We've gotten off topic, too.

[themogget]

Oh, I don't mind.

[Truth be told it's sometimes nice to have a conversation. And he has nothing else going on at the moment.]

So, then. Are you interested?

[lightblooming]

Yes.

... If you're sure about bonding with a dragon. ( She knows that doing such a thing can be emotionally draining to others... )

[themogget]

I don't see what the problem would be.

[Look, he's heard the stories, but he's sure he can handle it. The question might be more if Aqua can handle him.]

[lightblooming]

Bonding with a monster can be emotionally burdening - especially if they go feral.

[themogget]

Mm. There is something else I consider 'emotionally burdening', too. The inevitable self-destruction if I go without a bond.

[His aim here is to not explode, after all.]

[lightblooming]

.... You're right.

Then... in a way, we'll be protecting one another by bonding.

[themogget]

If it comforts you to think of it that way, I have no objections.

[Some people need to find a deeper meaning in the Bonding. Mogget's needs are very simple in this regard.]

[lightblooming]

In a way, it's true isn't it?

[themogget]

[He doesn't answer immediately.]

As I said, if it gives you comfort. Are you ready now, or do you need time?

[lightblooming]

No, I'm ready now. It'd be better not to wait.

[themogget]

Very well. I assume you know where to go.

[lightblooming]

Of course. I'll see you at the Coven.

[themogget]

I'll see you there. I'm sure you won't mind if it takes me a little time to arrive.

[Given he is small, and a cat.]

[lightblooming]

It's alright. I'll wait for you.

( And just like that, she shuts off the feed. )
