<p>“I believe you,” ey said, reaching a hand out across the table, palm up.</p>
|
||||
<p>“You believe me what?” she mumbled.</p>
|
||||
<p>“I believe that you grew a sense of empathy and a conscience. I believe you couldn’t manipulate the wings off a fly unless you thought it would live a happier, more fulfilling life if it didn’t have them.”</p>
|

<p>The skunk laughed through the tears, a choked and earnest sound. She finally reached out and set one of her paws in Ioan’s hand. “Even then, I would feel bad.”</p>

<p>The skunk laughed through the tears, a choked and stifled sound. She finally reached out and set one of her paws in Ioan’s hand. “Even then, I would feel bad.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I believe that, too,” ey said, brushing a thumb over her fingers. “I believe that you’re genuine, is what I’m trying to say. You just happened to have the craziest in-laws I’ve ever met.”</p>
|
||||
<p>At this, May laughed in earnest, rolling her eyes and taking a big breath to calm down. “Yeah, you are right. I am sorry that they are upsetting people, and I am a part of that. The last thing that I want to do is hurt you.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ioan nodded.</p>
|
||||
<p>They sat for a while longer, hand in paw across the table, while she calmed down and ey thought. Ey was already pulling together the threads of the story that would become eir history, bit by bit, letter by letter, interview by interview, conversation by conversation.</p>
|
||||
<p>“May?” ey asked, struck by a sudden memory.</p>
|
||||
<p>“Mm?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Are we together? I mean, are we a couple?”</p>
|
||||
<p>The skunk sat up straighter, giving em a funny look, then bust into a fit of giggles. “Mx Ioan Balan, that is the dumbest fucking question you have asked of this project.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey blinked, nonplussed.</p>
|
||||
<p>“What do you think?” She smiled pityingly at em. “Are we?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“That’s a weirdly complicated question after the conversation we just had,” ey said.</p>
|
||||
<p>“We just came to the conclusion that you believed me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I do!” Ey frowned. “I mean, of course I do.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“So answer the question.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I…yes?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Is that a question?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey shook eir head. “I guess not.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I told Douglas that I would wait for you to bring up the topic, and that when you did, I would make fun of you,” she said, grinning. “But you look like your head is about to explode, so I will save that for another time. You get so stuck up in your head sometimes, my dear.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Really? Douglas is the one that got me thinking about asking.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The skunk stood up from her stool, drawing Ioan out of eir seat by the hand she still held. “Leave it to a Hadje to play two sides off each other.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey laughed, drew her into a hug, and kissed the top of her snout.</p>
|
||||
<p>Later, as they sat on the bench swing, looking out over the dandelion-speckled yard, Ioan mused. “You know, I was thinking something.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Color me surprised.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey chose to let the comment pass. “Does Michelle’s sim still exist?”</p>
|
||||
<p>May frowned. “Yes. Why?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Well, we’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of Launch, right? Maybe we can do a picnic there, think about where this all started, and get blitzed on champagne. Bit of a memorial, you know?”</p>
|
||||
<p>She laughed. “Why the fuck not. We can make muffins and compare the smells.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey grinned, nodded, and made a mental note to ensure that Douglas remembered the suggestion ey’d given those months back, that he’d be ready to upload in time.</p>
