<p>She shook her head. “I could not do that. I am not built the same as Dear. I am only in multiple relationships in the sense that there are multiple mes, but only ever one me involved with one other.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Why?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Because,” she said, rolling onto her back so that she could smile up to em. “I am also helpless before devotion, and that takes the whole of me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey tapped a finger on eir nose lightly. “You’re adorable.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“What about Douglas or that night with A Finger Pointing?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I hold no romantic feelings for A Finger Pointing.” She laughed. “She is nice, but in a boss-you-drink-with-on-Fridays sort of way.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“And Douglas?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Her answer was a while in coming. “Were our friendship to head in that direction, I would fork, but I do not foresee that being the case.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Really?” Ey frowned. “Wouldn’t that be awkward? Us going over there to see him and your fork together?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Oh, incredibly awkward,” she said, rolling her eyes. “I have done similar in the past, and it would take a year or two to shake out. It is uncomfortable for me, as I am left with the same attachment even as my up-tree instance gets fulfillment.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I can imagine.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“No, Ioan, I do not think you can,” she said primly. “You actually think about the way you feel as you are feeling it like a normal person rather than just crashing headlong into overwhelming emotions like a fucking Odist.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Well, fair.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I do not think we need to worry about that, though. I am comfortable with my friendship with him just as I am comfortable loving you, and should someone catch my eye–“</p>
|
||||
<p>“I think you’d need to start going to more bars, though.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She laughed and shook her head, continuing, “–should someone catch my eye — or yours, for that matter — we will tackle it then with plenty of talking.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Oh, I believe you on that. Skunks never shut up.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She made as if to bite em on the belly and, when ey flinched away, grinned up to em. “Mx. Ioan Bălan, you are the one asking all the questions with long, involved answers. Do not pin this on me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yeah, yeah. You just got me thinking is all. I think you’re giving me too much credit, saying someone might catch my eye, though.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Why?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey shrugged. “I’m not exactly that observant.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“You worked as a professional observer for, what, a century?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Not <em>that</em> kind of observation.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The skunk laughed. “Well, okay, yes. I will not discount the possibility, though. If we are in this life for yet more centuries, there is no harm in being deliberate. Plus, I will get an inordinate amount of satisfaction out of seeing you fall for someone. It was so wholesome the first time, I see no reason why it should not the subsequent times.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I guess. I don’t know if there’s anyone who–“</p>
|
||||
<p>She waved a paw dismissively. “If there is not, there is not. We can speak in hypotheticals like fucking grown-ups, my dear.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Fine, fine.”</p>
|
||||
<p>When the silence drew out, May grabbed one of eir hands and started mouthing on eir fingers.</p>
|
||||
<p>“Ow!” Ey laughed and tapped a finger on her nose lightly. “You’re adorable.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She licked at eir fingertip, saying, “Thank you, my dear, in all earnestness. It makes me happy to be able to have a conversation about this.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Of course, May. I figure it ought to be an open topic for us.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She nodded and stretched out on the stage. “Agreed. We can come back to it later, though. I would like to run this through once more,” she said, waggling the notebook at em. “And then head home to get ready for dinner, though. Debarre is coming over and I plan on flirting with him outrageously in front of you all night to make you as jealous as I can.”</p>
