Chapter 19: Boat Two

Yao woke up with a fabric fin in his mouth.

He spat it out, opened his eyes and found himself nose to nose with a stuffed carp the size of a loaf of bread.

The carp had button eyes and a small stitched smile, and he looked profoundly unsurprised.

"Good morning," said a voice above his head, very carefully.

Lanzhou lay on his back with his arm under Yao's neck and his hair sticking up on one side.

He was awake, and he was bright red to the collarbone.

"I can explain him," he said.

"His name is Boat Two."

"How do you..."

"You talk in your sleep. Not much. Mostly, 'Boat Two, move over.'" Yao propped himself on an elbow. "I've known since Hengdian. I saw the tail."

"You knew since Hengdian and said nothing."

"We've both been busy keeping secrets," said Yao. "I think it's the theme."

Lanzhou stared at him, and then, helplessly, he laughed.

It shook the whole bed.

"My grandmother gave him to me before she died," he said, when he could. "She said a boy who plays other people all day needs something to be himself with."
