#lucien will hear elain's version of mating bonds as told to her by the ic

[theladyofbloodshed]

the archerons known nothing about prythian truly. All they know is what they've been told by the IC. It would have been nice to see Nesta doing her own research on laws and history but that would require her to be independent and not exchanging innuendos with cassian or panting over his muscles. I'd have loved scenes of Nesta not just working in the library to stack the shelves, but pausing over book after book because that title sounded interesting, or hey a history of Illyria, maybe I can share that with Emerie, and that be how she begins to heal because she wants to go to the library every day to learn. Nesta Archeron, who loves learning, being like i can learn all of this?? for free?? i can just come here whenever i want to educate myself?

Like have any of them ever picked up a book and researched the significance of a mating bond? They've just been told by the IC that they are mates and that's it. No questioning, just acceptance that this is how things are.
