I will. I can take care of myself too, though I doubt anything like that will happen. I'm not the sort of person people harass that way.
[The rest of it is more complicated to answer. He reads through what Reynir said a few times, comforting himself with the knowledge that Reynir doesn't seem like the type to quietly resent him for not being a way that he didn't know he should be. And it's true that he does trust Reynir, more than anyone else here, but he does know that Reynir is also capable of untruths or hiding the truth as well, particularly if he thinks it will protect Onni from some unfortunate truth.
But he thinks that, after how it had gone last time and with Reynir being forthcoming about seeing that memory of Lalli's, that he's not going to do that again. And he does notice that Reynir doesn't say specifically if he's looking for a romantic Bond or not, only clarifies what this Bond means. To keep each other safe because they trust each other. Friendship.
That's easy to handle.]
Alright. That makes sense, and I feel the same way about it. We Bonded to keep each other safe and because we're friends.
Can I ask you something, though? I know it might be a pain or you might not want to, but I was hoping you would tell me if you decide you want to look for that kind of Bond, so I know to expect it. I know that the other stuff is coming, the faun instincts or whatever, and that they'll have some effect on me, so I'm ready for that. I like knowing what's coming, since these aren't things I really think about or focus on much when I'm only dealing with my own thoughts and feelings.
