Ey read the letter through two or three times, trying to digest all that it contained, trying once again not to read too deep and guess that True Name#Castor simply hadn't told her about Codrin learning the Name.
Finally, acknowledging that ey wouldn't be able to digest it all in one go, ey dashed off a quick reply thanking True Name for the letter and confirming the time of the next meeting. Then, ey committed the letter to a new exo ey tagged "True Name--May 225" and destroyed the physical copy.
"May?" ey said, dropping eir cone of silence.
"Mm?"
"I was confirming a date with True Name and she said I should ask you about something called 'Jingle Bells stage blocking'. Do you know--"
The skunk let out a melodramatic groan and slid off her stool to the floor, landing on her hands and knees, laughing. "What a fucking brat."
Ey stared at her, nonplussed.
"Oh God, Ioan, you do not know pain until you work with choir kids."
Ey laughed and shook eir head, standing to go stir the stew by way of ruffling over her ears. "Skunks are so weird. I'll just have to trust you on that."
