Pen wakes up at about four in the afternoon. It takes her a few seconds to remember why she's here, but then she remembers and starts looking for Cindy.

Comments

[manofmyword]

"Thanks."

[campanas]

"What holes for? Not forks, I think."

[manofmyword]

"No, not for forks. Most people could get hurt doing that, actually. Those're electrical sockets. They're for things like the fridge, the microwave, the toaster, the TV, the CD player," indicating each thing as he lists them. "That stuff runs on electricity, and they get it from the holes in the walls through plugs, liiiike... this."

He unplugs the toaster to show her, since it's closest.

[campanas]

"Oh. Eyrie music machine not got plug in a hole."

[manofmyword]

"Some things you can't tell where they plug in without taking 'em apart. Or maybe your music machine runs on somethin' else." He plugs the toaster back in.

[campanas]

"Dunno. Caleb know probably."

[manofmyword]

He shrugs.

[campanas]

"Caleb do machines," Pen explains.

[manofmyword]

"Aha."

[campanas]

"And his wife Alleya, she oracle. She finded that Jovah be spaceship and tell Mommy and Daddy."

[manofmyword]

"Sounds exciting."

[campanas]

"Mommy was do magic, saying, 'Jovah did it!', but Alleya knew he not!"

[manofmyword]

"Makes sense, if he wasn't a magic spaceship."

[campanas]

"Nope," agrees Pen, "not a magic. Just do weather, drop things. If we singing right."

[manofmyword]

"Innnteresting. That why angels sing like that?"

[campanas]

"Those songs. Other songs just fun!"

[manofmyword]

"Mhm."

[campanas]

Pen, accordingly, starts singing an Edori song she is pretty sure she knows all the words to.

(She messes up twice, but he doesn't know the language, so maybe that is okay!)

[manofmyword]

He listens. It's pretty!

[campanas]

"That Edori song. Daddy sorta Edori," says Pen.

[manofmyword]

"Sorta?"

[campanas]

"They adopt him when he run away from the bad grandparents. He not look Edori."

[manofmyword]

"Huh," he says.

[campanas]

"Mostly Edori live Ysral, not Samaria. We go for Gatherings."

[manofmyword]

"And what's a Gathering?"
