[He's never been in this room before. To be fair, the Coven is full of rooms he's never visited. But he's kept a wide berth of this corner of the campus; one step of many in keeping his thoughts as far away from the prospect of Bonding as possible. Giorno will feel his heartbeat as it picks up again when they step over the threshold, nervy and overfast.
Looking into it now-- well, it's just a room. Small, but more cozy rather than confining, and lit with warm magitech lamps. The Witch who will oversee the ceremony greets them with a warm smile, rising from a chair pushed up against the back wall where they've been waiting for the two of them. They gesture towards the magic circle, the dominant feature of the room, that's been carved into the floorboards, guiding them to their positions. Fugo lingers briefly near the door, wrestling with his instinct to leave it ajar. In the end, privacy wins out over the old habit.]
[As they get settled, the Witch explains the ceremony to them. Giorno will likely find it familiar: they will stand in the circle, hands clasped, and exchange their vows. Once the words have been said, the Witch will tie their magical signatures together. And that's all it takes, they conclude, in a tone that's meant to be reassuring. It's not complicated. As long as your feelings are true and your promises honest, you'll feel it take.
