<p>Ey nodded. &ldquo;Sure. Until next time?&rdquo;</p>
<p>The skunk stood and bowed. &ldquo;Yes. Until next time. Enjoy the rest of your day, my dear.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The cone of silence dropped, letting in a jolt of noise, and the skunk stepped from the sim. Ey finished eir coffee, then stepped back home.</p>
<!-- a bit more here, then back home with May that evening, talking about TN, we learn more about how May feels about her. -->
<p>&ldquo;I am pleased to see that you did not die,&rdquo; May said, looking up from her notebook, grinning.</p>
<p>Ey kicked off eir shoes and set down eir own notebook on her desk before walking over to give the skunk a kiss between the ears. &ldquo;Nope, not yet. Stuck with me for a while yet.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She set her pen down and stretched her arms up over her head before leaning up to dot her nose against eirs, arms draped up around eir shoulders. &ldquo;Good, I am not finished wringing all I can out of you. One day, you will be left a broken husk of a Bălan and I will move on to my next victim.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Shaking eir head, ey returned that nosepress before straightening up. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re doing a crap job of it, May. You keep adding to my life rather than taking away from it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She laughed. &ldquo;Even when you are joking, you are adorable. Love you too, my dear. How was True Name?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Oh, fine. Much the same, I guess. We just worked and chatted and drank coffee. Nothing unusual.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Well, that can be good, right?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yeah, comfort in familiarity. She did at least confirm your hypothesis that she&rsquo;s just been overloading herself.&rdquo;</p>
<p>May nodded. &ldquo;Of all of us, she is most prone to that, I suspect.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think the Artemis dump is helping out, there. They&rsquo;re pulling all sorts of stuff from it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You are as well, are you not?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey laughed. &ldquo;I suppose I am, at that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The skunk reached out and snagged one of eir hands, pulling em down onto the beanbag beside her. Ey lay back and let her rest her head against eir shoulder before settling eir arm around her.</p>
<p>&ldquo;She said something else that was interesting I&rsquo;d like to discuss, but I don&rsquo;t want to keep talking about her if you&rsquo;re uncomfortable with it. It can be later.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She shrugged, doodling a dull claw lazily over eir stomach through eir shirt and vest, sitting just shy of ticklish. &ldquo;I do not mind, my dear. You know that I have been working on it.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Sure, I just didn&rsquo;t want to&ndash;&ldquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I will tell you if I would like to drop the topic, I promise,&rdquo; she said, then laughed. &ldquo;Sorry, my dear. I did not mean to interrupt.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;No, it&rsquo;s okay. She actually did that quite well today.&rdquo; Ey leaned eir head back, looking thoughtfully up to the ceiling. &ldquo;I asked why she was </p>
