Yup!

I mean, if you really WANT to. I wouldn't say no!

[fogsong]

I really want to.

[imaglyphwitch]

In that case, I won't stop you!

Have you met Lexi yet?

[fogsong]

Yep, I know Lexi. I think she's sweet. I can see how you fell for her.

[imaglyphwitch]

Cool! She is pretty great and smart and funny and crass enough to keep me on my toes!

How about you? How are things with you and the guy?

[She only heard his name once, she hasn't got it committed to memory yet].

[fogsong]

It's Mayerling. And. We're good. He's having some difficulty dealing with my death but he'll get over it. Just like I will.

I met his parents last month, actually.

[imaglyphwitch]

OH. That guy! The vampire that drinks synthetic blood! I like him!

Wow, you guys are moving that quickly? Nice.

[This was just teasing, of course. Luz would happily admit to Sharon she still had no idea what she was doing. But meeting his parents was probably a good thing, right]?

[fogsong]

Yes, that guy. I didn't know you met but I'm glad you like him. He's... He's good. [ She'd go as far as to say he was a positive influence on her. He made her want to be better. ]

Hey, I haven't even said the l-word yet. You're the one basically getting married. [ It's a very teasing "no, you are" of her. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

He did seem pretty nice, and kind of world weary.

[Kind of like Sharon, actually].

Hey, not yet! Blood bonded! I did this with Varian and Luca too!

I mean, I'm not dating them, but you know what I mean!

[fogsong]

He's lived through a lot.

I'm just teasing you, Luz, I know! Which bond are you two gonna get?

[imaglyphwitch]

He told me!

...

Blood bond. It's actually pretty important.

[fogsong]

Are the blood bonds different from the blood pacts?

She is just guessing here

[imaglyphwitch]

I don't think so? As far as I know, this is a blood bond though.

I guess maybe you could call it a blood pact if it's between two people romantically.

[fogsong]

I think we're definitely talking about the same thing. They're sometimes called bonding pacts. One of them connects a pair telepathically, another lets you share powers, and... Shit, I can't remember all of them.

[imaglyphwitch]

Whoa, I didn't even think about the sharing powers part!

Guess that means that Lexi will be seeing ghosts too, and that I can inflict mental torment if I chose to.

Which I won't, but still. Wow.

[fogsong]

I'm pretty sure each one is for a different kind of pact. So, a family pact [ ...she's thinking of the familial pact ] will let feel one another's emotions and other ones do other things. I'm pretty sure it's the romantic one that lets you hear one another's thoughts.

[imaglyphwitch]

We did talk about that. That'll take some getting used to, but I'm sure we'll learn how to control that with time!

This way though, now she WILL know exactly what happened in Deerington.

[fogsong]

Glad to hear you two have been talking about it. It's a big change for a relationship and I've heard stories that some people go mad from the connection.

[imaglyphwitch]

Oh no. We work together in the bookshop, and even have our own private place when we need it. Trust me, we're not going mad anytime soon!

...Though now I realize I might have doomed myself saying that.

[fogsong]

You've spoken it into possible existence, Luz. Good luck with that.

[imaglyphwitch]

NOO! CURSE YOU CHESHIRE CAT!

[fogsong]

What does the cheshire cat got to do with this?

[imaglyphwitch]

I don't know.

I have to curse someone.

[fogsong]

All righty then.

[imaglyphwitch]

Also, that part about going mad was an allusion to when the cat says "we're all mad here?"

Yes, I am aware of how nerdy that sounds.
