<p>“I guess you are.”</p>

<p>It giggled, a raucous sound, like so many güiros and zippers dancing together. “Yes and yes. But! How’re you, Fourthmonth?” It skipped toward her — quite gracefully, too, for a moth who could barely see — free hand reaching out to brush long her shoulder as it circled around her. “Are you well? Are you safe? Are you warm? Do your thoughts all point in the same direction? Are your emotions like ducks: all in a row?”</p>

<p>She laughed along with it. It was hard not to get caught up in its energy. “All of those things and more, my dear. I am doing well. Fresh off a date, which helps. What has you in a mood?”</p>

<p>“News news news!” it cried, skipping back towards the bar. It swung its hand out and, as soon as its fingers caught the back of its stool, lurched to a stop, expertly keeping the glass from spilling a drop of its precious pink drink. “News arrives from Lagrange and I am more moth per moth than I’ve been in days– nay, weeks!</p>

<p>“Yes, yes, perhaps…” It mumbled to itself as it poked through the various sheets of paper before it, eyes mere inches from each. After a few seconds, it jabbed a finger down onto one sheet in particular. It pinched the paper up and handed it over with a flourish. “Thus.”</p>

<p>April accepted the paper and turned it around. The printing was quite oversized, given the moth’s poor vision, so she had to nudge it a few times with a fingertip to let it all fit on the page without having to swipe.</p>
