"What does that leave you, now?"
"I do not know yet, Ioan. It makes me too full of being, of time, to be just one thing. It will likely take me several days to settle into...something. To settle into myself, whatever that means."

They fell into silence again while Ioan and True Name finished their food and May looked down at her paws or into the fire.
"Thank you for joining me out here. I am both glad to be outdoors and intensely uncomfortable sitting on a fucking log," she said, smiling tiredly. "I do not think that I will stay out here, though. The greater part of me demands a comfortable bed."

"Those fucking cots are awful," May grumbled, sounding forced in her humor. "Like a hammock, but far worse."
