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.

I would say so. I've been encouraged to seek out more witch bonds to better defend myself if need be, so it'd be quite a help for me if you were willing to oblige.

...Though if you ever do need anything along those lines in the future, let me know? I'm always happy to help with either. Protecting or crafting, I mean.

[She's kind to keep insisting, he supposes. Mogget's small form holds far more explosive magical surprises than most people would give him credit for, even if his main focus is on illusions.]

Just what kind of crafting did you have in mind?

[omnicrafter]

I work with leather, metal, cloth, and various other materials. But I'm not sure what a witch cat would need from any of those, to be honest...

[It does get her thinking. Some kind of satchel he can carry on a collar? Oh, but maybe he's not the type to wear collars in the first place...]

I suppose we can always think of something if you have some particular material need that's normally more suited to the bipedal. Or those with thumbs. Doesn't have to be right this second.

[themogget]

Hm.

[Given that Irhya is actually the first person in his months here to actually suggest helping him like this, he finds himself curious.

Mogget does wear a collar - a red, leather-like affair with a small silver bell and his magical focus point hanging off it in the form of a green tear-drop shaped pendant - but he doesn't have many other belongings besides.]

I'll remember the offer, then. My primary aim here is finding somebody open to a bond.

[omnicrafter]

Ah, right. We did get a bit off-topic, didn't we? It does sound like you're looking for something different out of it than I am... But if you're still open and willing later on, I may very well ask after it again, if that's all right?

[themogget]

If you wish.

[He doesn't sound ruffled. At least she's honest about it, which is more than he expects from most. After a moment, and to sate his own curiosity, rather than end the call there he asks another question of her.]

Just what are you looking for?

[omnicrafter]

I guess... "something long-term" is the most succinct way to put it. Something I might be able to grow something out of, as well as using the bond for practical purposes. But I may have to cycle through a few people to find the right fit, so I'm prepared to test things out and see if my opinion changes.

I'm sure a lot of people want that kind of thing, thinking about it. But if you'd prefer not, may it be to your advantage, then.

[themogget]

Hm. Then I'll wish you look with your endeavours. And my thanks for not wasting my time.

[They're obviously looking for different things, but at least she's honest about it.]
