<p>“Think living with an Odist helped in that regard?”</p>
|

<p>Codrin nodded. “Dear’s very…well. It’s very itself. Not sure how else to put it. But it’s also been good at getting me out of the comfort zone that I’d found myself in up until then. It was a good zone, and I’m glad that Ioan still has that, but I also like what I’m doing now.”</p>
|
||||
<p>They were interrupted by the rising whine of the kettle, which Ne quickly pulled off the burner. He turned off the stove and filled two mugs, which he brought to the table before grabbing a carton of milk from the fridge.</p>
|
||||
<p>The tea was a perfectly acceptable Earl Grey. The milk was unremarkable. The mugs were mismatched and patinad from decades of use. It was comfortable and charming in all its imperfections.</p>

<p>“So, what is it that you’re doing now that you feel better doing in this form?” ey asked, nodding to Ne.</p>
|
||||
<p>“I’m a little like you, I guess. I’m the one who takes all of the history and draws it together into a big picture. From there, I ensure that the rest of the clade — at least, the rest of the clade that’s working on this project — remains on the same page and doesn’t diverge too far. I’m the clerk to Prime’s executive.”</p>

<p>“Is that why you look like a cross between a professor and an author?”</p>

<p>Codrin nodded. “The best form of communication, if you ask me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“You would think so, wouldn’t you?” Ne Jonas laughed, sipped at his tea, winced, and set the mug down again. “But here, look at me, I’ve gone and steered the conversation to other topics. I want to make sure that I get to your questions. What do you have for me?”</p>
|
||||
<p>It almost felt a shame to move on to what Codrin knew were some topics that might be difficult or tense, but ey supposed it was as good a time as any. “Well, first of all, has your clade been keeping you up to date on the status of this project? I don’t want to make you feel like you’re repeating yourself.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ne nodded and leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. “You’ve interviewed No Jonas and Jonas Prime from our clade, and from the Ode clade, you’ve interviewed Dear, Why Ask Questions, True Name, End Waking, and May Then My Name. You’ve also interviewed Ezekiel, Debarre, user11824, Yared Zerezghi, Sabeena, Brahe, and a handful of others who fall below the relevance threshold. I believe your counterpart on Castor is interviewing True Name today for a second time, as well. Have I missed anyone worth talking about?”</p>

|
||||
<p>Codrin had paused, mug of tea halfway between the table and eir lips, and stared at Ne throughout the litany.</p>
|
||||
<p>“I don’t imagine I have,” he continued, smiling kindly. “You’ve talked about the influence of the Jonas and Ode clades in Secession and Launch, the ways in which we have interacted with phys-side both financially and politically in the last two hundred years, the work we did around Launch, our reasons for enforcing stability and divesting our resources to maintain continuity, and the concerns we hold around the Dreamer Modules. Correct? You may sip your tea first, though, if you’d like! Don’t let me stop you.”</p>

||||
<p>Ey set the mug carefully back onto the table, startled to realize that eir hand was shaking and eir breath coming shallow. Suddenly, ey saw the sim for what it was. It was a carefully prepared presentation, something constructed from top to bottom to appeal specifically to Codrin and those like em. The same, too, applied to Ne Jonas, whose entire personality was built around engendering feelings of camaraderie in those interested in history and stories.</p>
