So I'm Bonding to a practical sort, hm? Perhaps I shall ask for your tailoring, rather than your memorization of particular dates. I assume you'll return the favor of indifference towards the marking of years?
[It's true, after thousands of years, you stop caring about those sorts of details. Though even when he'd been young(er), he'd never given much attention to it.]
But yes, that's about the sum of the experience. [A faint shrug, and though he had paused when she did, he continues after a moment in his slow-yet-long stride towards where the ceremonies were arranged. None of the Bonds he'd taken had been emotional affairs at the time. Three to friends who had killed him, one to a puca he had only met once before.] For tying souls together, it's something of a lackluster affair, isn't it?
[Which was fine with him, he preferred to treat Bonding as a pragmatist, these days. He had one Bond for sentiment; if he could fill his remaining slots with practical choices, with people he didn't dislike? That would be best. A mutually beneficial boost in power and ability.]
