<p>May dipped her muzzle and apologized as well, saying, &ldquo;I do feel bad about how that worked out, no matter how much you tell me it is okay.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It is not okay,&rdquo; End Waking said, then hastened to add when his cocladist flinched away, &ldquo;It is what we have to work with, and it is perhaps what the times called for.&rdquo;</p>
<p>May nodded.</p>
<p>((Maybe a bit more))</p>
<p>&ldquo;I am of two minds,&rdquo; True Name said. &ldquo;I remember having loved Debarre. I remember still loving him, and perhaps even I, even True Name, still love him in a roundabout way. However, I am what I am, and that is a being of two minds. That of me which is you, End Waking, loves him, and that of me which is True Name, respects him from a distance, respects his distaste for me, that feeling I engendered to minimize the his impact within the council by making it so purely emotional, as much as it hurt to do so.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The same as you did with me and Codrin?&rdquo; Ioan asked. &ldquo;With the history, I mean.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She nodded. &ldquo;It was&ndash; it felt like a necessity at the time. I am not some cold, unfeeling bitch, it is just that my drive and my abilities, such as they are, outweigh &mdash; or at least outweighed &mdash; those feelings. I worked to distance myself from them.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I remember so little of that,&rdquo; May said.</p>
<p>True Name shrugged. &ldquo;As you intentionally moved towards feeling, I worked to minimize it within myself. I became a being is negative commandments. I lived the &lsquo;shalt not&rsquo;s while you performed your <em>mitzvot</em> of loving and caring.&rdquo;</p>
<p>May sighed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I will not say that I am proud of it, my dear, but neither will I say that I regret it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Perhaps you will learn from your merge,&rdquo; End Waking said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Perhaps. Perhaps it will become a part of me, perhaps it will live within me alongside that of you and that of True Name.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Still feeling fractured?&rdquo; Ioan asked.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yes. I do not know if I will feel&hellip; I do not know. I am not comfortable speaking further on this just yet.&rdquo;</p>
<p>They spent the rest of the night in quiet, May leaning against eir side while TN and End Waking spoke quietly about the plain.</p>
<p>Finally, though, a week to the day after the topic had first come up, Ioan awoke to find May and True Name already sitting at the table, speaking earnestly in a cone of silence. Once they noticed em, True Name waved it away and May grinned, saying, &ldquo;Sorry, my dear. We did not want to wake you.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey poured emself a cup of coffee before joining them. &ldquo;Appreciate it. Hope I&rsquo;m not interrupting.&rdquo;</p>
<p>True Name shook her head. &ldquo;We are discussing our plan for the day.&rdquo;</p>
