[quote=@Verdaux] [@Ruby] Something along the lines of letting him bind to her briefly while she gives him a vision of the divine. But again, I'd rather this a bit further ahead so she's already well-established with the Hydra and can better understand Ansel's impulses. [/quote] Shouldn't take long; Alpha is as connected to the Hydra as she is to every other facet of the universe. Everything and everyone is stardust to her, first and foremost. It's possible Alpha may be one of the few who isn't negatively impacted by the binding, but in reverse, may negatively impact HIM to bind to her. Like eating way too much, way too fast, and the food you were eating is exotic and spicy in ways you've never imagined before. Lots of possibility for character development and drama there.
