Isabella has read the guestbook. Stella began her work slowly because others in her world had magic and could have used it against her. Shell Bell began her work abruptly and openly because she had a government to depose.
The angel Isabella has neither problem. No one will oppose her. She herself does not oppose the Archangel Linus, who is doing a perfectly serviceable job. And anything she does will be taken as Jovah's own miracles until and unless she announces herself. She is willing that credit for her thought and design and for Micaiah's tithe in pain go to Jovah, who permits them to wield this power, who ought to be shown that she can control the magic, that she's not in it for glory.

[Okay. Everyone's just so worried all the time when there are too many mortals in a row, everyone's so happy when even the most undistinguished and tiresome angel-seeker comes in with a winged baby...] Pentagon goes, and she squeezes his hand.

Kisses!
"You are so cute," says Serah midsentence. "Oh - what time is it? - I'm due at my choir." She leaps to her feet and bolts from the dining hall.

"We should think about names," Isabella says. "Some people pick different ones for potential angels and potential mortals even of the same gender, but I'm never sure why."

"I like -iel names for boys. Nothing that'll get confused with a historical figure, and obviously Nathaniel is taken as far as we're concerned, but Zuriel or Abiel or Ithiel? Zion is good too. For girls..." She taps her foot. "Abigail. Candace. Keziah. Damaris."

She kisses his cheek. "We'll go with those, then, unless we think of something better in the next - eight months or so," she says.

"I love you too," she says, and she puts her final bite of lunch away and collects the dishes. "Say - are you getting tired of that one mass yet? Because there are so many. We could start on another."

She puts the dishes where they go, and takes his hand to head for the music rooms.
"I wonder if I should just - wish my range expanded, and then I could sing anything Hagar could," she says. "...Someone would notice, if I sang lower than usual in public. Although everyone says my speaking voice sounds like it ought to belong to an alto. It might not be such a stretch if I worked out some other way of dropping farther into chest voice."

"I bet you could wish your range expanded. And it'd be fun," he says.

"I suppose there's no particular disadvantage to it, since I can always just sing the low stuff in private. And you've got a Uriel range and I'd like to match," she adds, smiling.
Pentagon.
She sings a scale, starting high, cresting up, falling like water to low smoky alto, and back up to contralto warmth, and she beams, and says, "Let's learn the Magnificat - I know it but I don't know it but I feel like I could sing anything!" And she pulls the disc and puts it on.

She kisses back, but breaks off before Hagar's introduction, which is in her original range and which, therefore, she knows already.

Uriel comes in twelve measures later, and the harmony is snug and exultant.
Isabella trips up a couple of times, when Hagar drops into low complicated parts and especially during cross-voicing, but she does basically know the music.

He turns up his Kiss-amplifying wish a little, not enough to get stars, but enough that he's getting about half hexes. Any more and he'd be too distracted to learn his part.

It's a two-hour mass. Isabella sings through, tirelessly, more charged up at the end than she was at the beginning, and she beams and kisses him.

"Maybe we should take a break first," he suggests impishly. "Rest your voice."
With kisses.
Yes.
With kisses.
Yes.
