<h1 id="true-name-2124">True Name — 2124</h1>
|
||||
<p>True Name was early to her meeting, and that, she figured was okay. She had picked, on a whim, the same pub that she’d met Jonas in some time back, the one that reminded her of The Crown Pub from years ago, with the flat beer and the uncomfortable booths, and she figured that Debarre, of all people, would appreciate this.</p>
|
||||
<p>So, she ordered herself one of those beers that she loved to hate, sat down in a corner booth with a commanding view of the entrance, tail flopped over the edge, and waited.</p>
|
||||
<p>While she waited, she thought about all of the different reasons that Debarre might have asked to meet. There was always the possibility that the weasel had figured out just how deep she and Jonas had gotten in their maneuvering, though she suspected that that wasn’t the case. Debarre was smart, yes, but political adroitness was not his strong point. She had often considered that he had been let onto the council merely by his proximity to Michelle and connection with the lost.</p>

There was always the possibility that the weasel had figured out just how deep she and Jonas had gotten in their maneuvering, though she suspected that that wasn’t the case.

<p>It could also be that he had further questions about why it was that Michelle had chosen the Ode as a clade scheme, and that perhaps he wanted to discuss why it was that all of the clade seemed so averse to mentioning the author of the poem.</p>
|
||||
<p>And, as she hoped, he could simply just want to hang out. Spend time together like friends, like they used to.</p>
|
||||
<p>With that in mind, she focused on composing herself into a state of friendly alertness, so that when the weasel walked into the pub and spotted her in the corner, she would be primed to guide him toward that last possibility, even if he had come expecting the first two.</p>
