per admirabilem ascensionem tuam

[jovahs_heiress]

Peninnah is now five, and her wingspan should be sufficient to carry her aloft; she's just having a little trouble with the necessary coordination. Isabella has worked with her, and so has Rinnah, but Peninnah is impatient and has given up on both of them in favor of asking Damaris for help, on the poorly articulated theory that Damaris, at age thirteen, is closer to Peninnah's own size and might make more sense.

Junia smiles tentatively.

"Um, we sound pretty good together, maybe we should practice something else and we can fill in more spots?"

[pythbox]

"That would be nice!" says Junia.

[inherpiety]

Keziah starts flipping through the discs of music. "Do you know this one?" she asks, putting out another soprano-alto duet.

[pythbox]

"I do not know that one! But I can learn it."

[inherpiety]

Keziah puts it on. She hums with parts of the soprano part, but she wants Junia to be able to learn the alto so she doesn't sing along.

[pythbox]

Junia listens carefully!

[inherpiety]

"How many times do you want to hear it before we sing along?" Keziah asks, when it's over.

[pythbox]

"Once more," she decides.

[inherpiety]

Keziah puts it on again and flutters her wings to the beat.

[pythbox]

Junia listens! Junia is a good listener.

[inherpiety]

And then Keziah starts it over, and sings soprano.

[pythbox]

Junia joins in, and pretty well, too.

[inherpiety]

Singing is fun! And Keziah doesn't have to think of what to say because there are lyrics!

[pythbox]

That is a tremendous advantage to singing, it is true!

[inherpiety]

Singing singing singing.

The next morning at a quarter to six Keziah goes looking for Junia.

[pythbox]

Junia is extremely findable!

[inherpiety]

"Hi!" says Keziah. "We should go be ready to take over when Paul and Luke are done."

[pythbox]

"Okay!" says Junia.

[inherpiety]

They go to the place where Paul and Luke are currently singing, and lurk in polite quietude at the edges, and then they're up.

Keziah counts them in, and they sing!

[pythbox]

They do sound good together.

[inherpiety]

Yay! Keziah has been imagining various possible disasters that could befall their attempt, but none of them happen. She's beaming when they're through and turn over the floor to a trio of mortals.

[pythbox]

So is Junia!

"That was fun," she declares. "I have not done a harmonics session before but now I think I would like to do more of them."

[inherpiety]

"We can - I mean, you can sign up for as many as you want pretty much, as long as you have at least one person to go with you, and I'm usually free, if you want."

[pythbox]

"Would you like to go and look at the schedule again?" she says brightly.
