[Castle... or dorm. It hasn't even been that many days, but he misses Mankai dorms. It always felt like there was somebody around, no matter what time it was.] ... Yeah. [Maybe that sounded a little more wistful than he intended.
He shakes his head when asked about bonds.]
Sounds like everybody needs one of 'em. Haven't really asked around yet.
That's fine, Autumn troupe does not thrive on their brainpower at any given time. There's a moment's hesitation, didn't they say something about sharing feelings?
... On the other, he definitely doesn't want to deal with going feral.]
I'll think up a good one! ["""a good one""" it might be amusing when it pops to mind, whatever it is]
Keys are boring! It's much for fun to come up with a handshake, here- let's start one. Up high first-! [not really a shake to start off, but he's been humored so much already]
Don't let anybody in who can't do a cool handshake! They aren't allowed on principality. [wrong word, but closer than usual. He'll do the up highfive and then think a moment]
Okay, then it's gotta be like a buuuuncha backhand slaps downward to chest level-! Wham, bam, bam, wham! [this has to be intricate or it's not cool enough to bond over!]
Then a normal shake to cap that off! [just a good firm handshake, classic]
[Tragically Juza is also missing words from his vocabulary and his Japanese test scores are Not Great.
At least he can follow the flow of the Intricate Cool Handshake, capping it off with a strong, firm handshake. Sorry about the claws bro, can't do anything about them.]
No way! This is just our handshake. Bond handshake! Oh- [what is after firm handshake? He'll slide his hand away with a finger wiggle, then back with a fistbump! Actually, one direct on the knuckles, then one up and one down! Yeah!]
There we go! Now we're cookin'- one more thing... chest bump! [hell yeah! ... he'll at least wait for Juza to ready on that one, not wanting to just bowl his friend over right away.]
Yeah, man! Whenever I see you! [he's ready, going in for the chest bump to finish it off. Works perfect, given their close height. Soren grins after, before starting it over from the top]
That's great, one more time so we remember! [then they can have it ready for the bond which will definitely allow it, for some reason. The boys are real trend setters here]
Juza does manage to remember the whole handshake, but he's absolutely silent while he's going through the motions. New motions take a while to get ingrained and he doesn't want to fuck this one up.]
[Meanwhile, Soren is punctuating each motion with a "ye ye ye ye!!" like a total dork, but he thinks he's cool. What else matters? Simple joys of life, this. They do the whole thing through, complete with end chest bump, though Soren reaches out after to ruffle Juza's hair with rough affection]
We'll just have to keep adding to it so it stays fun!
[Hair ruffles? Isn't Soren the younger one? (No.) He reaches out, in a good mood and just pats Soren's head the exact same way he would treat his actual little brother.]
Sounds good to me. After we finish with the bond thing.

We could totally knock that out, too! What d'you say?

If you're fine with me, let's do it.

Soren does a fist pump of triumph]
Yeah! Let's! We're killing it at this new world thing.
no subject
Goin' better than I thought it would. Do we need to write something up for that?
no subject
[this should demonstrate how little Soren understands the process]
no subject
[Soren, did you listen to anything? He just wants to know.]
no subject
[Soren is taking this magical ceremony of binding souls together very, highly, incredibly seriously]
It's not like a wedding. [he definitely remembers it could be friendly! Whatever the fancy word for that is.
Platonic, it's platonic, Soren]no subject
[He tilts his head a little.]
It's a way to be linked for as long as the bond lasts.
no subject
Oooh, or! I wonder if we could do a secret handshake, instead! Then we could use it as a greeting. That would be perfect.
no subject
I dunno. Maybe we should work on both of them?
no subject
But I like poems. I just sort of say them, usually. [thoughtless reciting of poetry, by an idiot, that can only go well!]
I bet a handshake will work. It could be like the secret code to get into the house! [as if keys aren't enough]
no subject
Wouldn't mind hearin' them.
[The second thing, however...]
That's what keys are for.

There are still locks.

Ready when you are.
[He's also broad and sturdy enough Soren would have to try fairly hard to knock him over.]
