Dear's partner cooked that evening. Ioan sat with the two around the table and tried not to feel like a third wheel. Dear and Ioan made it back to the house just as the first cold sprinkles had started to fall. Once they'd reached the patio, they took a moment to stand and watch just out of reach of the rain. The weather went from cloudy, through sprinkles and drizzles, to stormy. Ioan focused primarily on the sound. The way ey was able to pick out the individual sounds of droplets striking dry grass during the sprinkles. The static of the drizzles. The rush and roar of the storm itself. Ey could not guess what Dear was thinking. It stood, watching the rain and shivering. It looked contemplative, pensive. Somewhere north of sad, south of simply thoughtful. Ioan sifted for the word, gave up, and guided the fox back into its house. -Ioan felt some energy return with the mix of curry and lentils and rice.

Not as much Ioan had, nor, it seemed, as much as its partner had hoped, judging by their own apparent anxiety. Dinner was good, necessary, but plagued with silences.
