[A small package is left for the recipient wrapped in tissue paper with a little red bow tied around it. Inside is a simple box with a portion of homemade chocolate fudge inside. There's a little note attached!]
happy valentines day!
you better like chocolate, kor!!!! i made them myself so you have to eat all of them!
[A package left for him? How exciting! He's never gotten a gift here before! Never mind that he's only been here a few weeks, but still, a gift! And it's from Sora, his new friend, no less!
He's excited to dig right into the chocolates, but he should give Sora a proper thank you first. It's only right!
He's had enough time to figure out how these watches work, so he uses it to call up Sora.]
[Sora blinks widely and then nods his head. He supposes with how many worlds there are out there that not everyone in the entire galaxy would have the same sort of holidays.]
It's a holiday about love and friendship! You can give chocolates to people you like or to your friends. I like to give chocolates to my friends and this is the first year I was able to figure out how to make chocolate on my own. So you get to be a lucky test subject.
[Now it was Kor's turn to blink widely at what Sora's saying. He scratches the back of his head.]
Why do you need a special day for doing that? [He beams widely now.] If you like your friends, you should be able to just give them stuff whenever you feel like it! Just to show them how important the bonds you share are!
Haha, I guess you got a point there. You don't really need a special day to give things to the people you care about. But it's still kind of fun to do it anyway!
Mmmh! I can feel it, you totally had a blast making these! [If nothing else, Sora's feelings are ambient in these chocolates. But are they actually edible?]
I'm a little envious, I can't really do anything like this.
[Surprisingly, they are edible! He might have struggled a little bit but his training with the Little Chef has taught him a thing or two, now. He also worked alongside Aqua, the supreme baker of the house.]
You can feel my friendship through the chocolates? I bet you can! [Sora laughs happily.] I could try to teach you how to make them sometime?
[Kor shakes his head. Boy, if only that were the case. If his empathic senses helped him with being a witch, his life would be a whole lot easier right now!]
No, nothing like that. I'm a trained Somatic, so being able to sense emotions is as easy as breathing for me!
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?]
[Wow, Sora's talking like he knows a whole lot more about this magic stuff than he does. He's a little shocked here.]
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.]
[Having two witches as bondmates has him picking up a lot of things rather quickly. Kairi is a very quick study and Sora's a great target to practice on.]
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.
H-huh? [Whoa, Sora got unexpectedly serious about this all of a sudden.]
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...]
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.]
[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...]
[There's a long, drawn-out pause, as Kor contemplates all this new information, trying to reconcile what he thought he knew with what Sora just told him.
And then...]
Crap, what have I been waiting around for, then?! I need to find somebody to bond with!
