well i didn't say i wasn't going to be FRIENDS with anyone else! that would be crazy! i'm just perfectly happy to get close to new people here the regular way, no magical soul binding stuff required!
... onni, just because i'm friendly doesn't mean that i let people get really, actually close to me lightly. you know that, right?
[ Reynir starts to object, to explain yes, he really does have to apologize for the faun stuff. But every time he gets more than a few words in, saying Onni won't be singing the same tune when Reynir's accidentally filling his head with thoughts of... but every time he tries to end that sentence, he fails, and eventually he deletes the whole message.
He is glad, too, because Onni's next text comes through, and Reynir is torn between confusion and hope and most of all, concern, on Onni's behalf. ]
so... it's not that you hate the thought of it, just that it intimidates you? and makes you sad because of how things were when you were growing up, and you feel like you've missed your chance now?
that's so not true, onni. you're not different to 'most' people because everyone figures that stuff out at different times in different ways. you're not too late. it's not pointless. you would never say that to another person, if they were in your place.
there's lots of people out there your age and older who don't have any experience, and don't know if they want any experience. it doesn't matter when you're starting.
you'd never tell a mage who thought maybe he might have magic but wasn't sure, but who hadn't tried out any magic until he was your age, that it was pointless to even start now.
