No... I haven't been able to get it to work here at all.
[It was disappointing, to say the least. But he refused to take it off even if it didn't work. It was an important heirloom, after all!]
But even if my Soma doesn't work, that doesn't mean all the training I did to be strong enough to use it was for nothing!
no subject
Oh. Yeah! Well, maybe there's some sort of way to use it with witch magic now. What magic would be the same as the magic or stuff you used to use with your Soma? What kind of spells are you learning?
[Maybe divination...? Or some sort of enchantment type spell?]
no subject
I-I dunno, concation or something like that? This magic stuff's way over my head, but when I told the teachers I wanted to be able to use my sword again, they told me this stuff was the best way to go. I haven't even been thinking about trying to get being able to Spiria Link back yet...
['conjuration' and 'evocation' are what he's referring to.]
no subject
I guess its something to think about! One thing at at time, right? It is pretty cool that you can sense emotions and stuff. If you could figure out how to keep going with that and all.
no subject
There's so much to take in this place, it's kinda overwhelming. I figure if I can fight again, I'll be happy for now.
[A pause.]
Wish they wouldn't hassle me so much about not having a bond though. I mean, it's not I can control when one happens, right?
[At least that's what he thinks, since that's how it works in his world.]
no subject
Bonds are super important, though! Believe me! And believe them!
[He's kind of seen it first hand what happens to a witch if they don't bond...]
They're supposed to help you with learning magic too, right?
no subject
Well, yeah, I know they're important! Remember, I go through this kinda stuff back home!
[Despite Kor claiming he understands bonds, he may have only been half paying attention to that explanation before. He heard "bonds" and assumed he already understood that part...]
But bonds kinda just... happen, right?
no subject
Bonds here are a little bit different than the ones you know about, I think. The bonds we make here are made with a magic ceremony over in the coven.
It's a good idea for monsters and witches to be magically bonded because it helps a witch control the amount of magic they've got inside of them! And it helps monsters with, uh...
[What was it again? Sora's not been through a lot of this yet.]
It helps monster with their changes.
1/2
[That's definitely a pretty big change compared to what he's used to. Somatic Bonds just kinda form automatically between people when they reach a certain stage in their relationship with one another. But with the way Sora's talking, it sounds like...]
So you have to make them happen...?
2/2
And then...]
Crap, what have I been waiting around for, then?! I need to find somebody to bond with!
no subject
[They're like a weird magic wedding--]
And you gotta share vows with that person too! It should be someone you get along with! Someone you can trust!
no subject
[Kor gets the implications there behind that.]
You're making this sound like getting married, Sora...
[Kor's cheeks turn red. He's got a pretty high, almost romanticized view of getting married someday, and this was not it.]
no subject
Yeah, it does kind of sound like that, huh?
[It was a pretty intense experience for Sora, at least. And very wedding-like...]
no subject
Kor heaves a sigh, scratching the back of his head.]
This is more complicated than I expected. Where I'm from, when you reach that point with someone, that point where you really trust and like them? The bond just happens naturally, without any thought to it. The Spiria knows what it feels, even if the brain doesn't, you know?
[That's just how it works for him.]
I guess I'll have to start thinking about bonds, then.
no subject
[And honestly if it was like that Sora would probably have several bonds with several people right off the hop.]
My first bond was a lot of work! But I think it's worth it.
no subject
[He's amazed how much better Sora is at this stuff that should be his specialty. Or at least how much more informed he is.]
What was it like?
no subject
But his first bond is a totally different story.]
Uhhh... If I'm honest with you? It was with a witch that was really sick from not bonding for months. So when we did it hurt a lot. I almost threw up.
[Ew.]
But it was okay in the end! It just kind of hurt at first because he had so much pent up magic in him, I guess?
no subject
I've been trying to discharge my magic as much as I can, but... It probably isn't enough... [He's been training day in and day out to try and really get the hang of his chosen schools of magic, but that's pretty hard when you have zero experience with magic yourself.]
I'm gonna have to really find someone to bond with, I guess...
[Even if the idea of just forcing a bond to happen like that just seems... wrong to him, still.]
no subject
But ever since we've bonded he's been a lot more stable. So it'll probably help you a lot with discharging magic too, you know?
[Sora bonded with people close and important to him. He thinks that should be an important factor too. But still--]
If you need help, I could try?
[Despite technically having three bonds... Maybe something temporary could help too.]
no subject
[Kor's taken by surprise by Sora's offer here. But he couldn't deny that was definitely an enticing offer. He hasn't known Sora very long, but... Well, that was going to be the case no matter who he bonded with right now, right? And he knows he likes Sora and they've got a lot in common.]
You'd... do that for me, Sora?
no subject
[Says Sora not really understanding the reasons why he shouldn't bond with more than three people at the moment. In his mind, he's helping a friend? How bad can it be?]
Then you won't have to worry about it!
no subject
[Oops. He's starting to tear a little now. Sorry, Sora.]
That's... really kind of you...
no subject
Hey! Hey now! That's what friends do for each other! We're friends! I've got your back.
[Kor is a nice new friend and he's really glad he's getting to know him! What would be so bad about bonding with him too! He's sure it will be alright.]
no subject
[Geez, Sora, you're sounding like him. What would his friends back home think about there being a person who talks like him?
He lets out another sniffle, but no more tears. He's just emotional, okay.]
Heheh, thanks, Sora. You really know your stuff when it comes to this, so I appreciate it.
no subject
[Sora beams. He is more than happy to help a friend. And luckily he's been a quick study in this world. Mostly.]
Right! So, once things settled down a bit? Let's work it out!
