[ It's almost two hours later when Geiz realizes he's walking around aimlessly while he tries to process everything he's learned about this place. It's not like he hasn't had time to absorb the entire situation. But he has so much more to learn about this place and the people here. He sighs a bit before he stops walking so he can think. The good thing is that he isn't lost, he's almost at the place where he'd first started pacing. Still, finding out that he's a monster instead of a witch helps him yet at the same time it irritates him. He can accept it, yes but at the same time it's annoying.

It's not something he can't get over though; in all honesty, he'll probably get over it in a day or two.

But he still needs to sort everything out in his head about being here, about what he's learned about this entire place and also about himself.

He hasn't been here long, but he knows he's lucky to have both Tsukuyomi and Sougo here with him. Not that he wants them to get in trouble or get hurt. It's just that they're both basically his best friends.

Nevermind the actual kind of sort of relationship he has with Tsukuyomi. But that's a thing to think about on another day.

Right now, he's going to try and maybe find a place to sit and think. He doesn't even seem to notice that Sougo is nearby because he's so intent about thinking everything over and over again in his head ]

[ Sougo perks up at how easily Geiz acquiesces to his suggestion, a relieved grin spreading across his face as he squeezes Geiz's hand again. Though if it's speed that Geiz wants in this, then he's about to be disappointed. ]

We'll need to talk to the Coven first, they have to set up a circle for us to stand in, but it's pretty easy other than that?

[ Something seems to occur to him, and his smile slips. ]

You're supposed to have some kind of vow, but I think it's fine if it's really simple? I didn't have anything fancy with the other Bond I have.

[geiz]

[ Just how long will that take? Geiz makes a frustrated sound before letting a breath out in a slow hiss. This world is odd and complicated and he hates it. But he gives a sigh and squeezes Sougo's hand back as he gives a nod. It's fine if it takes a while, they can get through this. They've been through worse together, always keeping each other in check. Always fighting but never really with each other. ]

Then let's go right now. I'll come up with a vow while we walk there.

[ He stands up but doesn't let go of Sougo's hand. It's comforting to be able to have that contact while he's still feeling a bit vulnerable. Not that he'll ever admit that ]

Which way do we go?

[ Geiz still hasnt really memorized where everything is yet so Sougo will have to lead ]

[timenace]

[ Sometimes a little bit with each other, but they've managed to get past it all of those times. It helped a lot when Geiz stopped wanting to literally murder Sougo. They've come a long way if Sougo stops to think about the fact that Geiz literally wanted his head detached from his body on their very first meeting, but they're about to commit to a pseudo-wedding ceremony just now.

He won't mention that part to Geiz. It had felt kind of strange to make vows to another person when he did it with Mikasa, and he doubts it'll be any less surreal with Geiz. If anything, it'll be even more bizarre.

But it'll be fine, because he'll be doing it with his friend. Plus, hand holding is part of the ceremony, and Geiz seems to have that part down already.

Sougo gives him a reassuring smile as he stands with him, before gently tugging him forward. ]

This way. If they're free it probably won't take too long for them to set it up for us.

[geiz]

[ Sometimes Geiz still wants to detach Sougo's head from his body, but not in an actual serious way. It's more that sometimes Sougo annoys him so much that he directs a bevy of death threats his way, but again, he doesn't actually mean them anymore.

And being able to hold Sougo's hand like this is a sort of new development. They'd actually gotten close enough, mostly through Sougo's excited zeal in trying to make friends with him, that Geiz is fine with it and comfortable enough with it that it just seems natural now ]

How long is the actual ceremony?

[ It better not be longer than at least two hours. Despite that thought, he allows Sougo to lead him along with a frustrated sigh.

The good thing is that he hasn't actually correlated bonding with getting married. So it being something similar to a wedding doesn't even occur to him. He just follows after Sougo, trusting in him enough that he doesn't ask any more questions.

He does however try to pay attention to their surroundings so he can make his way around afterwards without needing another person to give him directions or ending up getting lost by accident. ]

[ When you spend so much of your life with people giving you a wide breadth thanks to your odd behavior, finding someone who actually takes interest in you is surprisingly meaningful. The friendship might have started with attempted murder, but Geiz still doggedly kept by Sougo's side regardless of what his initial intention was.

So Sougo wants to do the same for him too during this clearly difficult moment for Geiz. It's funny, but Sougo has rolled with the knowledge that he was stuck in a new world so easily, but he also hadn't had to deal with the knowledge that his body would be changing in weird and unwanted ways.

Monster puberty seemed like hell.

Sougo hums thoughtfully to himself as he swings the hands they have connected together in an almost childish way. ]

Not too long? It takes longer to set up than it does to perform.

[geiz]

[ It's fine that Sougo is swinging their hands like this, Geiz allows it because it's not hurting anyone and maybe best friends just do this. Maybe best friends hold each other's hands and take walks like this all the time. Unlike Sougo, Geiz has had comrades but he's never really had a best friend besides Tsukuyomi who . . . is also something more to him.

And Sougo is- he bites his lip a bit as he thinks and walks. Sougo is his best friend and even though he'll never really admit it, he does enjoy staying by Sougo's side the same way he stays by Tsukuyomi's side ]

How much longer till we get there?

[ He's only asking because he's a bit impatient. He just wants it to be over with now. Not because the idea bothers him, but because he wants to make super sure that he definitely will not hurt anyone after being bonded to Sougo. But he does recognize that the way he asked was a bit rough so he squeezes Sougo's hand to lessen the roughness and reassure Sougo that he's not mad.

. . . though just wait until he learns they'll share emotions through this bond. ]

[timenace]

[ To be entirely honest? Sougo isn't sure what best friends do, because he'd never really had one before his time traveling trio of friends. Well, that's not entirely true. When he was about five or so he was friends with other little kids, but at that age it is perfectly natural to hold hands with your friends.

Really, Geiz was the one to want to take his, so Sougo just went with it. He's oblivious to just about any and everything else going on here.

Even the fact that Geiz's squeeze is meant as an apology. Honestly, he's so used to Geiz snapping at him, that the tone rolls right off his back, and he just stops swinging their hands for a moment mostly so he can concentrate on trying to do the mental calculations in his head.

He was never good at this kind of thing though. ]

Maybe fiii... ten minutes?

[ He does not sound certain about that. ]

Not that far though.

[geiz]

[ Why can't Sougo recognize friendship when he gets it in the form of handholding? ]

If you get us lost I'm going to shave your head bald while you sleep.

[ It's not the worst threat Geiz has ever made against someone, maybe he's getting too soft. He makes a grumbling noise as they start walking again while nudging Sougo to take the lead instead. Because out of the two of them, Sougo is the one who knows this place better. ]

[timenace]

[ The threats certainly make Geiz's actions a little more hard to decipher. Still, Sougo has by and large gotten used to ignoring Geiz's words and focusing more on what he does. That always seems like a better tell to Geiz's true feelings anyway.

For example, despite threatening Sougo's hair, Geiz is also trying to nudge Sougo along, and that's the part that Sougo is going to focus on as he continues to lead his friend to the Coven. ]

I know where I'm going!
