<p>It was the reaction that ey was most worried about. 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, <em>“She is the best of us.”</em></p>

<p>Ey suspected that it was worried that cracks were showing across the clade. Ioan had admitted to having 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, years ago. “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.”</p>

<p>That had been another thought ey had kept to emself.</p>
|
||||
<p>The worry lay not in how May Then My Name might react — though Ioan had had always mentioned when ey was laying in supplies for chicken soup — but in how True Name would. May Then My Name was the best of the clade, or at least the best of that stanza, and even True Name knew that.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>It was Dear, of all of them, who broke the silence.</p>

<p><em>“I have been thinking about something that Sarah said.”</em> It sounded content enough, which Codrin was pleased to hear. <em>“She said that we should prepared to not be able to understand them for their inhumanity.”</em></p>

<p><em>“But, my dear, do be watchful. There will be two Odists on that mission, and they will share in some of my trepidation.”</em> It took eir hand in its paw and gave the back of it an affectionate lick. The gesture seemed to be one designed to minimize the anxiety in the statement, but eirs or Dears, ey could not tell. <em>“They share that same trauma. Be watchful and remember what I said: even True Name has emotions, even she will be affected.”</em></p>
