[proficience]

I'm doing well, all things considered.

Did you go on the boat trip at all, by chance?

[rightfoot]

I didn't. I'm not much for negotiations.

[proficience]

I see! Well, you didn't miss out on too much, if I have to be honest.

I was preoccupied with something very important to me, so I only managed to discover a few new recipes during my time there.

Though, my first Bonded has yet to return, so I hope he's alright.

[Is that concern related to what he was preoccupied with? ... Perhaps.]

[rightfoot]

Well, there was only a few ways that this whole thing could go. I figured I'd kind of wait and see how it went. There was enough going on here, anyway.

And, hopefully he is. You'd know if he wasn't.

[proficience]

Nothing wrong with sitting on the sidelines and waiting. Though, it's best to be prepared for the worst, too.

He and I are without a Bond at the moment, so I can't know for sure if he's okay.

[rightfoot]

I am. I know how negotiating with people can go.

Why would you do that? Worried something would go wrong?

[proficience]

Break the Bond?

The distance. We were concerned it'd break on its own due to the distance.

[rightfoot]

I didn't consider that they'd just break by distance. I'd assume it's fine unless something happened to one of you while there or here.

[proficience]

That's where the concern comes in, Louis-kun.

I don't think I'd ever told you how he has a bit of a temper when something terrible happens.

[rightfoot]

Ah. I mean, it's okay to be angry about the terrible things.

But... I don't know. At least you'd know if something happened there. Maybe it's because I'm still kind of new to the bond thing.

[proficience]

A large part of me has faith that he'll be alright. Especially since he's the type to communicate to me whenever possible. Hand signals and all that. The small part that worries is loud, however. Louder than you could imagine!

Have you found anyone to Bond with, yet?

[rightfoot]

Good.

I have two bonds now. Well, recently got the second one. They're... friends of mine.

[proficience]

The way you've written that makes me believe they aren't actually friends of yours.

[rightfoot]

Oh. No. It's not like that. They really are friends of mine. I can keep an eye on them.

[proficience]

Oh!

My apologies, then.

So you can still bond with a third, correct? Are you bonded with monsters right now?

[rightfoot]

Only monsters. I don't plan on bonding with a Witch. I prefer to be around Monsters.

[proficience]

[He can most assuredly figure out why, so he won't ask. But he does need to state:]

I respect that.

I've only bonded with one witch, myself. Monsters have far more to deal with, here.

[rightfoot]

That's what it seems like to me, too. I like you guys.

Plus you guys keep me from exploding.

[proficience]

Overall, I do feel that monster suits me more.

You know, I'd never bothered to read much on witches exploding. How long would that take to happen without monster bonds?
