<p><em>&ldquo;Thank you, Ioan. As am I.&rdquo;</em> </p>
<p>They fell back into silence then. Ioan spent a while marveling at the mix of coziness and strangeness. It <em>was</em> comfortable, there with the two skunks. May was in eir arms as she should be, and True Name, similar as she was, fit well enough in the mix. The strangeness, then, came from the knowledge that she was specifically True Name. This was so counter to what ey knew of her from the years prior, especially the version of her that she&rsquo;d become over the past few weeks since End Waking&rsquo;s merge.</p>
<p>Ey could already tell that she&rsquo;d changed, though, even beyond the fact that she&rsquo;d wound up as close as this. Her speech patterns were shifting once again, losing some of their formality, finding their way back to ground from the high-minded patterns she&rsquo;d picked up from her other cocladist, and yet they weren&rsquo;t totally those of May, either. They didn&rsquo;t sound the same, just more alike than they had before.</p>
<p>She was tripled, now. She was True Name and she was End Waking and she was May. Whether or not she would become something new or remain tripled ey didn&rsquo;t think even she knew. The adjustment would certainly take time for everyone. Ey liked End Waking quite a bit as a friend, but that friendship was different than that of eirs with True Name. Ey was friends with May, but in that way that partners were still friends beneath the romance of a big-R Relationship, and there was certainly no comparison to be made between the other small-r relationships here. If she was of three minds, so was ey.</p>

<p><em>&ldquo;Unrelated to comfort or awkwardness, I am going to get up to make coffee,&rdquo;</em> she sent, nudging em out of rumination once more. <em>&ldquo;I did not sleep, and if I do not have coffee soon, I shall surely die.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>May grumbled again when True Name rolled away from her, gathering the remainder of the covers and a stray pillow up to replace the space that had been left by her cocladist&rsquo;s absence. Ey couldn&rsquo;t tell if the skunk was actually awake or not, but she settled down once more, if nothing else.</p>
<p>True Name sat up and scrubbed at her face with her paws, wiping the grit of sleep &mdash; or perhaps tears &mdash; from her eyes. She grinned down to em. <em>&ldquo;My assessment remains. You two are so cute that it is disgusting.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p>&ldquo;Of course, my dear,&rdquo; May said, giving her paw a squeeze. &ldquo;Go and walk. There will be time for discussions to come, especially once we are finished with this unpleasant political business.&rdquo;</p>
