Jen smiled and helped Ray into the room she was to be staying in her hands soft and supportive when Ray needed them to be. As soon as they entered the room she closed the door and shed her dress off stretching â€œAzrial told both Cay and myself about wearing clothes but I cant stand them in my own spaceâ€¦ I hope you donâ€™t mind..â€ she commented still wearing her bra as she sat beside Ray on the bedâ€™s edge looking at the den, â€œPink and grey.. my favorite colors. He is such a good male.â€ She smiled and listened as Ray talked â€œCool, Cay and I are half sibilings and his father was a Drakken halfbreed so I am sure he will have no problemsâ€ she listened for a moment then seemed to change deminer.<br/><br/>â€œRay, Brace and I were talking after you and Azi left the last Moonlit ceremony and he said I should talk to you about some things you might not know about Azrial and males of our breed. I mean it was clear that you love him and trust me when I say he loves you. He has told me in our letters. However being a Rova, um..â€ he paused to think â€œa dominate or husband of our breed he can not tell you without something called The Bondingâ€¦ which is our version of marriage. It is against our ummmâ€¦ morals you could say. To say Ro va nuwe (pronounced knew) â€˜I love youâ€™ without being true mates. I know you know about true mates doing the moonlit ceremony however that is not how we are created. True mates must have gone through the bonding.â€ She smiled and moved her bra some to reveal a black diamond just over the left nipple and a white diamond over the right â€œThese are our bondings..the black stands for all negitives of life and relationships while the white stands for all the positives. The Sova or submissive â€˜wifeâ€™ get them over the the nipples while the Rova get them just over there male section.â€ She then pointed to a cequin shaped freckle in the middle of her chest â€œSova are born with their mark on their chest where it is said that all the means of providing come fromâ€¦â€ she was meaning life since a mother provides milk for a baby. â€œand the Rovaâ€™s are down below where life comes from..â€ she hoped he understood this part. â€œSo when your baby is born youâ€™ll know which the babe will beâ€<br/><br/>She shook her head some â€œSorry I got off subject, anyway. The Bonding is a process that seals us in body and mind to our true mates. Not many do it because it is very painful mentally and physically as well as exhausting and uncomfortable. Yet, it is also the most amazing thing you could ever feel as far as love or being close to someoneâ€¦ It begins with going to a sacred place we call the Avaliege which is a pond with a large diamond platform in the middle. There you will sit in a way that the Rova is on their knees and the Sova is sitting on said knees with all their weight. The Sova will support the Rovaâ€™s head as the Rova supports the Sovaâ€™s entire body. This symbolizes how the relationship is set, the Rova is the protector and the strength, while the Sova is the support and care. One in the position a harpoon like chain will come from the Sovaâ€™s womb area straight into the mark of the Rova and vise versa a harpoon like chain from the Rova will shoot into the space where the Sovaâ€™s mark would be. Once that happens the diamond they are sitting on will form around them encasing them where for the 24hrs of the bonding neither can move at all. Not even to speak. â€œ she took a moment toi let it sink in.<br/><br/>â€œThe next stage is the painful part, a surge of ice will travel to where the black diamond needs to grow, and while it is forming the two will experience each otherâ€™s worst memory exactly as their mate did when it happenedâ€¦ Luckily after that the good part happens, a surge of warmth will go to where the white diamond needs to be and they relive their mateâ€™s happiest memory exactly. This is the way we share in each others joy and sorrow. After the crystals form the diamond around you will melt away and you will both need to bathe in the pond encircling the platform.â€ She paused â€œBut there are four warnings I need to give you. The first is that only the Sova can decide when they are ready for the bonding, the Rova will never talk about it before hand. Secondly, the day before you as the Sova will need to eat a lot. And withâ€ she rubbed the baby â€œyou will need to eat an extra amount because your meal intake will feed the three of your for that time period, as Azrial as the Rova will need to sleep and get plenty of rest so that his body can run the whole thing. Nextly during the memories your bodies will automatically mark each other. This is done by your body dripping milk onto your rova. Itâ€™s a sign that you can provide. His willâ€¦ as you can image prob be what â€˜the seed of lifeâ€™ proving he can give life. So please donâ€™t be alarmed. Lastly, doing this means that in body neither of you can become intimate with anyone else so long as you both live. Should this happen you will both expereance extream painâ€¦ like wise in mind you will have no ability to love more then a friend anyone that is not of your providing and his life givingâ€¦â€ Jen swallowed softly knowing this was a lot to take in. â€œHowever to even have a chance of doing this you would need to be producing milk which can be done one of three ways. Either One as you already are, get preg and wait till your body just starts doing it. Two eat a crap ton of diary products, though that would most likely make you very sick with the baby in you. Or sex with a male dragon who is a Rova will within an hour have the milk going since Rova absolutely love fresh milk.â€ Jen smiled â€œSo these are just things I thought you should knowâ€ she smiled happily. â€œAny questions?â€<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> Caylen froze staring at Ricardo with wide aler eyes he seemed hypsontized to be honest. Azrial laughed and clapped his hands â€œThe mighty warrior prepares himself for the hunt! Brava!â€ watching as Ric walked up Azrial hugged him as he sometimes did and smiled looking back â€œRicardo this is Caylen, he is my sister-in-lawâ€™s brother. He is visiting with Jen for the week and could use a friend while I am tending to Ray and Jen. Would you mind showing him around?â€ Caylen blushed bright red and removed his hat bowing before the handsome man swallowing with difficulty. His eyes staring at the Drakken scales with delight. He knelt down and traced one lightly with a claw. â€œOh, and Ricardo. Cay is deph and so when you wish to talk to him just make sure he can see your lips. He will read them and reply by either whatever he does to communicate that phrase or on the rare occasion speaking. He by the way has Drakken in his past, just so you knowâ€ Azrial stood hands on his hips watching as Caylen stood up a light catching the mark on the center of his chest and glittered for a moment.</span>
