<p>“Don’t be a jerk, fox.”</p>

<p><em>“I am not! I am simply stating the fact that my teeth might rot from just how adorable that must be.”</em></p>

<p>“Do you think True Name is pissed?” Codrin asked.</p>
|

<p><em>“That May Then My Name settled down with someone? Refused to fork for her, then even to talk with her? That May Then My Name has taught herself how to hate specifically to hate her? Of course she is pissed. It is her own stanza rebelling against her.”</em> It laughed, then said more thoughtfully, <em>“Much of the liberal side of the clade distanced themselves from the conservatives when the History came out. The definition of ‘Odist’ is quite diluted now, I think. I do not believe that True Name lost much in the way of tools, such as it were; I think she just had to write many of us off, or think of us simply as safe places to store other tools, as she did with you, my dear. She has — she and Jonas have — likely replaced them with yet more finely tuned versions of themselves.”</em></p>

<p>“From what we’ve seen, it sounds like their — True Name’s and Jonas’s — attempts to control the outcome worked fairly well, but also that True Name hasn’t been seen around nearly as much in the last few years. Sounds more hurt than pissed, I guess.” Ey shrugged. “I imagine having your own clade that upset at you tempers your devotion to a cause.”</p>

<p>“That’s a rather horrifying way of looking at it. It sounds so sterile.”</p>
|

<p>It shrugged. <em>“I am not so far removed from them that I do not feel some empathy. True Name is still a fully realized person. She is not a truly sterile being. She does still have emotions, they simply come from a place that we cannot access.”</em></p>

<p>Codrin finished eir coffee and set the mug on the table, sitting up straighter and rubbing at eir face. “I’ll grant you that, though it’s still going to take some work to internalize.”</p>
|

<p><em>“There is no rush, my dear.”</em></p>
|
||||
<p>“Isn’t there?” Dear’s partner asked. “Can you imagine True Name not getting involved in this? I’d honestly be surprised if she wasn’t already stringing Tycho up by his toes for what he did. If Codrin’s to wind up working with her again, maybe ey does need that empathy.”</p>

<p>Codrin nodded. “Well, nothing for it. I’ll write to Ioan and May Then My name, Then get ready for the shitshow that’s doubtless coming down on us.”</p>
