<p>May’s response to the discussion of encroached boundaries, later that night when they’d moved to the couch, knocked both Ioan and True Name off-kilter. She had laughed and tousled eir hair and the fur atop True Name’s head, saying, “Well, took you long enough.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Wait, what?” ey asked.</p>
|
||||
<p>“I have been placing bets with myself on how long it would take until it came up. Whichever part of me guessed “the minute I leave you two alone together” wins, I guess!” </p>

<p>True Name stared coolly at her. “And here I was worried that you would blow up at me.”</p>
|

<p>“Of course not, my dear. My position remains that, so long as everything was discussed in the open, veto-able, and come by earnestly, we will make it work.” She smiled and leaned over to pat at the skunk’s paw. “Which is not to diminish <em>your</em> feelings on the matter. How are you feeling?”</p>

<p>“If I say ‘confused’ one more time, I am going to lose my mind. I do not have a better word for it, though. I do not know how I feel about the act itself. It was fine, I am sure, but I am starting to think that what is so jarring to me is that it was an automatic action.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ioan nodded. “It felt a bit incongruous because it’s a hundred percent something you’d do, May.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“And perhaps that is why it feels fine to me: it is what I would do, I would expect nothing less from someone with so much of me as part of them now. I would like you both to feel comfortable, of course, but I am more…well, ‘concerned’ is not quite the right word, but concerned about the emotional side than you two just physically touching,” May said, shrugging. “Though I do appreciate you keeping me apprised. I trust you on that.”</p>

<p>True Name smirked, leaned over and tugged at May’s tail. “You have, yes.”</p>
|
||||
<p>May pulled her tail around to hug it protectively. “Yes, yes. I know.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The conversation trailed off from there, Ioan and May cozying up and chatting via sensorium messages once True Name had started to doze, using May’s thigh as a pillow. She caught em up on gossip from Debarre — one of his boyfriends visited and was, apparently, quote the looker — and ey accused her of leaving em for the weasel, as ey always did when she visited him.</p>

<p>Eventually, even they fell to silence, and when May started to nod off as well, ey roused the two skunks for bed. “Come on, beds are comfier than couches.”</p>

<p>True Name nodded groggily and stood, swaying for a moment before gaining her balance once more. “Thank you two for talking this evening.”</p>
|

<p>“Would you like to stay with us tonight?” May asked. “If you are this sleepy, I imagine you need it.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She stood silent for a few moments, then nodded. “If you are willing, yes. I am also happy to sleep out on the plain. Both would be good for me.”</p>

<p>True Name’s face fell, but she bowed. “Of course, dear.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey reached out and gave her paw a squeeze. “Thanks, True Name. Tomorrow.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She smiled gratefully and, after a hug from May, made her way to her room and out to her tent on the plain, shown by a bobbing flashlight moving through the grass.</p>
