<p>Ey grinned. “That’s the hope, yeah. I was originally going to just make it about Launch, but there are more parallels between Secession and the launch that I’d expected.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“There are, yes. And you know, I wonder if we will start thinking of the launch in the same way as Secession. You can almost hear the capital-S in Secession, and now I hear it in Launch.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Perhaps. Maybe we’ll just do it from here and the L<sub>5</sub> System or Castor will do something else.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Mmhm.” She grinned at em. “I have already heard from Castor via the system that we are starting to diverge in pretty major ways.”</p>

<p>“I’ve heard similar through Ioan, yeah. I’m happy to share what I have, though. You’re the first other Odist that I’ve talked with about this aside from Dear and May Then My Name.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“May! Oh gosh, what a delight. Has she already tricked Ioan into falling in love with her?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Codrin laughed. “Tricked?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Do not get me wrong, I do not think that she is dishonest about it or that her intentions are anything but pure, but I have yet to meet a single person who has not fallen at least a little in love with May after spending any considerable length of time with her.”</p>

<p>“Do not get me wrong, I do not think that she is disingenuous about it or that her intentions are anything but pure, but I have yet to meet a single person who has not fallen at least a little in love with May after spending any considerable length of time with her.”</p>

<p>Ey nodded, stirring eir drink with the too-large stalk of celery. “That’s fair. And for what it’s worth, yeah, I think she has. I don’t think ey’s ready to admit it yet, but yeah. Your whole clade is like that, you know?”</p>

<p>Why Ask Questions adopted a look of indignation. “Are you accusing me of being manipulative? Codrin Bălan, I would never! All I did was figure out that you really like nice paper, nice pens, and hand-written notes, subvert that, invite you out to a bar that would clearly pique your interest, and beguile you into talking about your down-tree instance falling in love over terrible drinks.”</p>

<p>Why Ask Questions adopted a look of indignation. “Are you accusing me of being manipulative? Codrin Bălan, I would never! All I did was figure out that you really like nice paper, nice pens, and hand-written notes, find the best way to subvert that, invite you out to a bar that would clearly pique your interest, and beguile you into talking about your down-tree instance falling in love over terrible drinks.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“What?” Ey laughed. “Did you really do that?”</p>
|
||||
<p>The offended look slipped into a proud one that bordered perilously close to smug. “Of course. But I also did want to meet you. I really am a fan of this project, and I wanted to be a part of it, if you will have me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Well, alright. I’m happy to hear that other Odists are interested in it. I’ve been asking a few rote questions and then letting a conversation develop from there. Is that alright?”</p>

<p>Ey laughed.</p>
|

<p>“It has calmed down since then, as I mentioned. There is little to do, and what remains of our stanza launch-side has started to drift apart once again. We are all friends, but we are coworkers first and foremost, and when we do not have to be at work, we will not be.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“You hang out with other friends, then?”</p>
|

<p>“Hang out, drink, go for long walks on the beach, watch plays — did you know that Praiseworthy has put on some really interesting ones? Michelle was a theatre nerd before she uploaded. She put much of that on hold after the whole getting lost kerfuffle and all of the politics that went into the first years after uploading, but still that desire sticks with us.”</p>

<p>“Stepping back a second, you said that True Name was to organize the launch. What did you mean by that?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I would like to say ‘next’, but I will answer this question, and then perhaps we can just enjoy the day for a little while. Does that sound alright, Mx Bălan?”</p>
|

<p>Ey frowned, but nodded all the same.</p>
