Yeah, he actually said yes.

I actually asked him a while ago, during the masquerade. But he said he needed two months to think about it. I thought back then that if I gave him a push, he might at least consider going to Rean.

But yesterday he said yes to me. I'm still kind of in shock actually.

Wow...well, that's really great Towa! Nicely done.

But aren't you both witches? That might be a problem with Rean and your other bond gone.

Well, I do still have one monster Bond at least. But I thought about that too. I know it's not ideal considering I don't have two monster Bonds to rely on now.

That's why I wanted to at least consider my options.

So I was doing some research and I heard that at least once, a mirrorbound was able to successfully change their designation from monster to witch.

But there's only that one instance on record. And it's the opposite of what I'd be trying to do. Still, it could be possible. For me to become a monster.

Wait, really? That's possible?!

And you'd really go so far to become a monster? Wouldn't it be easier to find another monster to bond with?

That's kind of why I wanted to talk to someone else about it.

I know right now it's probably okay for a little while like this. But I've also learned that there really aren't any guarantees in this place.

If I had to, I'd do it without hesitation. But I want to think about it a little now, while I still have time and options.]

Yeah, that's a really big decision to make. I can see why you'd wanna talk to someone else...

Does it say how this person went about changing into a witch? Was it dangerous?

From what I've been able to find out, it sounds like two individuals were able to switch with each other.

Unfortunately the person that was able to do it isn't here anymore, so I can't ask her about it personally.]

So you'd have to find a monster willing to switch with you.

I don't know, the fact it's so rare gives me a bad feeling....

Yeah, it sounds that way. Unless I can find another way.

I know, that's what worries me too. Putting myself in danger isn't going to help anyone.

For now, I think it will be okay. But I'm going to keep doing my research.

Nothing wrong with a little research. It's good to keep the option open. And you still got some time to decide.

Besides helping Crow in his Bond, would you want to be a monster?

Well, I don't know if it's wanting to be a monster. I know that it's not easy. But I said the same thing to Rean-- whether it's a witch or a monster, that's just what you are. It's not who you are. I'll be okay.

Besides, our team has a lot of great witches on it. I'm not worried at all about changing.

Well, yeah, you'll be Towa no matter what! There's nothing that can change that, I know.

Still, it will mean losing your magic. Do you know how you'll be able to defend yourself as a monster?

[He doesn't ask to be mean. He asks because he knows it's something that'd bother Towa. Just turning into a monster won't turn her into a strong fighter, and with no magic to back her up, that might become an issue fast]

Honestly, I don't know. I guess it would depend on what I become but--

I'd hate losing my magic. I feel like it's allowed me to be really useful to everyone. It's hard to imagine what I'd do without it now, after so long.

Maybe I'd have to accept that I wouldn't be as helpful in that form.

[And yes, she absolutely hates the thought.]

Towa you're helpful to us even without your magic. We rely on you a lot you know. That wouldn't change if you become a monster.

I only ask because I know it'd bother you more than anyone else. I want you to be happy.

Not to mention if you end up as a monster with natural mating seasons, it could make Crow hornier too because of the Bond.

I'm not sure any of us are ready to deal with that.

[HE IS ALREADY ENOUGH OF A MENACE]

Ellie. Thank you.

But I'm pretty sure you just pointed out the one thing that could actually make me terrified of changing.

[SHE DOESN'T NEED CROW BEING ANY MORE CROW THAN HE ALREADY IS.]

You're not the one who's going to have to risk KNOWING every time he's--

[You know what. She just realized she may have made a horrible mistake with this Bond.]

[He laughs awkwardly at the screen, even if it can't be picked up by the typing]

Yeah, sorry about that. I know you can block your Bonded from feeling that kind of stuff with you, I do with Fie, but...

...

Something tells me that might be one of the ONLY things he won't block.

[Because that requires shame. Which we all know he has none]

I've promised to help him work on that but.

I'm still pretty sure you're right.

And that just means that he'll be doing it on purpose.

[She can't believe she waited two months for this.]

I'd prefer the mating season. Crow Armbrust doesn't have a season, he's just always like that.

Edited 2020-01-10 06:31 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds like something he'd do alright.

[Poor Towa. She truly suffers]

And he might get even worse with a mating season.
I'm not sure HOW that's possible, but it's something to consider.

Well. I asked for this. Besides, he's nothing I can't handle.

Probably.

But I know. You're right. That's. Definitely something to think about.

Haha...

Good luck Towa. I'm sure if you think about it long and hard, you'll come to the right decision for you.

Thanks, Ellie. I really appreciate it.

[She doesn’t have an answer yet but she feels like she will, when the time is right. As long as she keeps at it.]

Aw, it's nothing. I really didn't do anything.

If anything, I should be thanking you. It's a relief to hear Crow has a bond.

No, you definitely did. You gave me a lot to think about. I've always been able to rely on you-- it means a lot.

Aww, I'm sure any of us would have done it. It's a relief though. I don't want to have to worry about what would happen if he didn't anymore.

[Especially not now.]

Aha, you're going to make me blush.

No, I think you were always the best chance of getting him to agree. [Don't undersell yourself Towa!!!]
