@ -14,13 +14,13 @@ Ey had kept that note to emself.
The news of True Name visiting Ioan and May Then My Name was not, in and of itself, surprising. Ey had suspected she would do as much as soon ey had read anxiety in her expression at the mention of May Then My Name. She had surely sent message back to L<sub>5</sub> within seconds of em telling her such.
It was the reaction that Ioan described that bore the surprise. True Name was a verboten topic to one of eir partners, and the cold hatred of one of its cocladists was perhaps not forbidden to discuss with Dear, but ey could read melancholy in the fennec's face as easily as any other emotion, ever since news of May Then My Name's thoughts on her down-tree instance had made their way across the light-days of distance. There had been days of silence, days of tears, days of walking the prairie for hours at a time. When pressed, it would simply say, *"She is the best of us."*
It was the reaction that Ioan described that bore the surprise. True Name was a touchy topic with one of eir partners, and the cold hatred of one of its cocladists was...well, ey could read melancholy in the fennec's face as easily as any other emotion. Ever since news of May Then My Name's thoughts on her down-tree instance had made their way across the light-days of distance, there had been more of that. There had been days of silence, days of tears, days of walking the prairie for hours at a time. When pressed, it would simply say, *"She is the best of us."*
Ey suspected that it was worried that cracks were showing across the clade. Ioan had admitted such concerns as well, and even mentioned that May Then My Name herself seemed to be harboring fears. "If Dear overflows with undirected energy," Ioan had written once. "Then May overflows with tears. I love her deeply, but I'm sure you must know the pain of watching something like that. It's the only time she's ever asked to be alone, and I will go stay with Douglas. She will spend hours in bed, letting out all of the overwhelming emotion that she needs to in order to become whole again. I make a lot of chicken soup."

"If Dear overflows with undirected energy," Ioan had written once. "Then May overflows with tears. I make a lot of chicken soup for her to have something comforting, though I'm not sure how much it helps. It's the only time she ever asks to be alone, and I will go stay with Douglas. She will spend hours in bed, letting out all of the overwhelming emotion that she needs to in order to become whole again. I love her deeply, but I'm sure you must know the pain of watching someone you love going through something like that."
That had been another message ey had kept to emself.
The surprise had been not in May Then My Name's reaction --- though Ioan had stated that ey was laying in supplies --- but in True Name's. May Then My Name was the best of the clade, or at least the best of that stanza, and even True Name knew that.

So today, they mostly lay in silence. It was not unpleasant, for the sun was on high and the temperature was perfect and ey could simply lay there with those ey loved.
