[As friendly a statement as any, though he does add--]
Though if it had persisted in an increasingly troublesome manner... I may have been forced to investigate. However it feels when a Bonded dies, I'd prefer to avoid experiencing. So in that sense, you could say I'm well-invested in your continued safety and security... an honor to know, I'm sure.
But ah yes, your new piercing would have more mundane, practical applications than merely reducing damage from deliberately metallic assaults. A world of convenience has opened up to you.
Reassuring. But that makes sense. Getting a bond is a pain and I'd rather not die. Though I don't know if you'd be able to do anything if I was dying.
Amazing isn't it. I won't have to worry about the door handles in some houses. Some have iron inlaid to deter fae from sneaking things out.
[Normally what was meant to be childrens' bedrooms. But she wasn't going to mention that troubling factor. Most doors had brass anyway, that didn't burn anyone.]
A shared preference towards survival... the things we have in common.
[As though this were some kind of rare trait.]
As for what I could do... it would depend on how quickly you were expiring, and how soon I could find you, perhaps. But I wouldn't rely on my healing magic, as I can't say I know a whit of it. Teleport you to safety, yes, or failing that... avenging your untimely demise were I so inclined. There's options.
But if one was predisposed towards thievery, 'tis hardly much of a deterrence... unless you're the first fae to ever consider utilizing gloves for such rare obstacles as door handles.
[There's a pause, a small hiccup in the bond as she blocks completely for a moment. Thinking, thinking about some of that info she'd bartered fruits for.]
They got all the dangerous ones. Or they made them hide.
True fae, I assume...? You lesser varieties of insects amongst the Mirrorbound population aren't significantly more difficult than any other type of monster to discover.
[Assuming they're not using their illusion-based magic, anyway.]
And I suppose that even they would realize that attempting to cut down Mirrorbound fae in the open would be viewed with a certain amount of displeasure from the rest of us.
I assume your senses are more attuned to these hidden fae- or that their sort of magic is ineffective upon other fae?

I'll avoid that. I just want to be able to hold a pan without gloves.
There's a limit to what these things can do.

I guess that will do.
It's stupid. You could break the door or use a window. I think it's just a luck thing.
I've been told that they used to just kill fae.
[Which made the whole iron thing redundant.]
no subject
How lucky for you, eh? And for any other Mirrorbound unfortunate enough to become a fae.

[The small pause in the Bond was unusual, though he doesn't think too much of it.]
What mercy. Permitting only the weak and ineffective to survive in their relative freedom. The barest tolerance of only the most inoffensive.

From what I can tell, fae are hard to find.

[There was also the matter of the elderly fae Eren had told her about. But she'd not met the dude.]

Something like that. I can't see the illusion and I can tell when a spell is being cast.
