<p>“No, I mean, maybe it’s you in that you’re the first person I’ve gotten close enough to to wind up feeling like that, at least since I uploaded.”</p>
|

<p>The skunk paused in the act of picking another plate from the river, letting it drift on. “Did you feel that way about your brother? Was you uploading your fix?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey felt eir muscles go rigid, eir jaw clench, eir hands start to shake. “Uh…well, huh.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ears splayed and eyes wide with alarm, the skunk reached out to take one of eir hands in her own. “I am sorry, my dear. If I overstepped, I apologize.”</p>

|

<p>Letting the skunk lace her fingers with eirs, ey shook eir head as though to dislodge the slight dizziness that had come with the realization. “Maybe?” Ey forced a smile. “I mean, maybe uploading was my fix for that situation? I don’t know.”</p>
|

<p>She nodded, gave eir hand a gentle squeeze.</p>
|

<p>“I think you’re the only person I’ve really loved other than Dragoș,” ey said, nudging the conversation back on track to avoid settling into that particular rumination. “That’s what I meant. I want to make things good for you, whether it’s you overflowing, stuff with True Name, or any other number of things that aren’t my responsibility or even under my control.”</p>
|
||||
<p>May smiled, the expression veering perilously close to a smirk. “You have said that you want to fix things for True Name at times, too, my dear. Are you sure you are not in love?”</p>

<p>“I’ve also talked about how often I’ll wind up getting caught off guard by how much you two still look and sound alike,” ey said, smirking right back. “She’s nice and I do want to help her, but I think I’m a ways off from that.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She laughed. “I know, I know. You just leave yourself so open, sometimes, a girl cannot help herself. You are also allowed to want to help friends and acquaintances as well as me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Skunks, I swear…” Ey laughed when she pinched at eir fingers, tugging eir hand back so ey could grab another plate of yellowtail. “That’s kind of what I was thinking about on the walk, though. I feel weirdly obligated to fix things. It’s not my place to, I don’t think either of you would be comfortable with that, and that’s not even counting whether or not it’s something either of you <em>want</em>.”</p>

<p>“I won’t bring it up, then.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Good.” She poked em in the belly, then went back to her hug. “Though as to the greeting, I mean it when I said I got a lot off of my chest. I spent a lot of time thinking and a lot of time talking to End Waking and Debarre, and I have some ideas for moving forward.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Oh?”</p>
|
||||
<p>She shook her head beneath eir hand and tightened her grip around em. “I do not want to discuss them now, my dear. I am tired and cried out and you are comfortable and good to me.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“That’s my job, yeah,” ey said, combing fingers through fur. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow, then.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Mmhm. Dote on skunks time.”</p>

<p>She shook her head beneath eir hand and tightened her grip around em. “I do not want to discuss them now. I am tired and cried out and you are comfortable and good to me.”</p>
