She thanked him for the water, and sipped on it slowly as he responded. At his question, she was about to answer, but then he kept speaking and soon mentioned about his father- hearing he didn’t want to become like that was a relief. But the moment he spoke about her becoming a vampire—
She couldn’t help but flush a bit. “Mm..if you think so, but then,” she reached out and grasped his hand gently. “You wouldn’t be able to feel my warmth anymore, would you?” She asked, going to set the glass of water down.
She pulled her hand back, touching it with her free hand. “If you truly want a way to break your mother’s bonds.. you’ll have to make a bond with another, well- these are personal bonds between your mother and you..but if you found someone to replace that motherly bond, those ties with.. let’s say like a romantic bond, she wouldn’t be able to easily control you anymore,” she murmured and looked to him.
“It would certainly help, but all of it would rely on your own strength too,” she reminded him.
Bonds.. witches were adamant about them, with their purity/period— if they shed their blood while performing coupling acts..that would lead to a soul tie, something between two people who made them bonded more than just surface level.. sorta like how mate marks worked for vampires and werewolves.
