Uh - not entirely. No matter what you put on, I'll still be able to pick up on your forest scent and know what realm you belong to. [ Few knew how to pick up on scents so well, though, Kai had just been trained harder in all kinds of matters. The sea wanted to ensure their heir kept a certain edge over everything with abilities, knowledge and everything in between. If only they knew Kai wanted to maintain his mortal life and not rule at all. He cared so little for politics and power exchanges.

Considering about the letter, he shook his head. ]

I'm sure whatever you include will work just fine. The sea will know shortly.

As for relationships - uh - once our bond fully clicks in, you won't be able to be with anyone else. [ Giving an apologetic look, he set down the ring box again for Easal. ]

The bond will connect us in a lot of ways. You'll feel a need to be closer to me soon. I'm sorry for that. The beginnings of a selkie bond are overwhelming for a non selkie but given you're a seelie, I'm not sure how it might work on your end.

[ Without really thinking about it, he reached out to squeeze a hand along Easal's arm as a means of comfort, most likely and also his own need to be closer. ]

It'll pain you to be away from me during the honeymoon period of this and you'll feel drawn to water. [ A pause. ] What are your abilities? They'll impact me in return.
