^^ Tiergan agreed tho. I can quote him if you want me to it would just be a lot longer than Oralie’s quote so I decided not to. And honestly it makes sense if you think about it. The whole thing with cognates is trust not knowing all of the other persons secrets. The way that they establish the trust is to tell their secrets but once it’s there and you already trust that person, you can trust that they have good reasons for not telling you whatever it is they aren’t telling you. Actually screw it im just gonna quote tiergen.

“She has a point,” Tiergen agreed. “I’ve always considered that to be the ultimate level of Cognatedom” Sophie frowned, “But you said-“ “I know what I’ve said in our lessons,” Tiergen interrupted. “And uninhabited sharing is still the most vital way to build and maintain the connection between cognates. But once the connection exists-and once you reach a level of maturity with your partner-you can work your way to a new sort of relationship. One that acknowledges that there are pieces of yourself that you may occasionally have to hold back, and that doing so changes absolutely nothing between the two of you. I’m fact, accepting each other’s limitations actually enhances your bond. Put simply, it’s reaching a point where you both know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you trust each other no matter what” That was probably extra but whatever
