<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re so weird,&rdquo; ey said, then laughed as she elbowed em in the side.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We are both weird.&rdquo; She poked at eir thigh with a claw. &ldquo;That includes you, my dear. We both stayed behind, and we both sent along cocladists so far diverged from us that they might as well have become new individuals.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Mm, true. I&rsquo;m happy for them, at least.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;As am I.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;As am I. Their communications are not quite as happy as I suspect they wish, but I am still happy for them.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ioan knit eir brow. &ldquo;There is that, yeah. Do you remember Ezekiel?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Of course,&rdquo; May said, sitting up and swinging her legs up onto the rock so that she could sit cross-legged, facing em. &ldquo;Though I knew him as Zeke. He was brilliant. Intensely, incredibly brilliant. I am sure that he still is, but that brilliance is now coiled all around itself in the way that happens with prophets throughout the ages.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey turned to face May in turn. &ldquo;Who do you think that weighed more on, though? Dear or Codrin?&rdquo;</p>
<p>The skunk dipped her muzzle. &ldquo;That is difficult to say. They are each sensitive in their own ways. Dear, I imagine, is feeling a lot of old fears confirmed, and old memories come to roost. I worry that, some day, that fox will spin itself into a whirlwind and dissipate into the atmosphere.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;d enjoy that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It would make it a whole production. Invite everyone on the launch.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ioan laughed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;And Codrin?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I expect ey&rsquo;s struggling, in eir own way. Were I confronted with something like that, I&rsquo;d be able to keep it together throughout the interview, but afterwards, I&rsquo;d have to spend a lot of time just decompressing.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Why is that?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You spend all your time up here&ndash;&rdquo; Ey tapped at eir temple. &ldquo;&ndash;and being confronted by the ways in which that can go wrong to someone who was, as you say, brilliant, and it can really mess with you. I bet he holed himself up in that office for a while and paced a ring into the floor.&rdquo;</p>
<p>If ey had been expecting a laugh or a smile from the skunk, ey was disappointed. She simply nodded and looked off into the water again. &ldquo;There is nothing wrong with that, Ioan. We have known that disconnect. We have known the feeling of a mind coiled in on itself. That is frightening to all of us. It <em>should</em> be frightening.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Suspecting that May would appreciate it and not knowing what to say to that, ey simply reached out and took one of her paws in eir hands.</p>
