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.

"Okay!"

Music rooms are this way.

Junia does, indeed, know the alto part.

[inherpiety]

Keziah knows the soprano part! She can even do it in the original octave.

[pythbox]

Junia is impressed. She keeps smiling.

[inherpiety]

"I think we sound pretty good. But, um, we could go through it again, if you want."

[pythbox]

"I think I would like that!" says Junia.

[inherpiety]

Keziah grins and starts over again.

[pythbox]

Junia sings with her. Beamily.

[inherpiety]

"You have a really pretty voice."

[pythbox]

"Thank you!" says Junia. "Your range is amazing."

[inherpiety]

"It's not big, it's just really really high," says Keziah. "But I like it."

[pythbox]

"I like it too!" says Junia.

[inherpiety]

Keziah blushes. "Thanks."

[pythbox]

Junia smiles tentatively.

[inherpiety]

"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.
