I work at keeping my voice level and calm. Am I not allowed to make my own decisions about MY Bonded? There’s a very uneasy sort of silence in my head back to that, and I glance back over at Nox to see something wondrous and magical. He smiles at me. An actual smile stretches over his lips without a hint of sarcasm or derision. He just enjoys the hell out of me calling my other Bonded out on his hypocritical actions.
