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.

"Sometime if you want maybe do you think we could do a harmonics, like together, whatever song you want except I have a really high range so not something alto-y but whatever song we both can sing is fine?"
"Yes," says Junia, blinking at her.
"I like many songs!" says Junia. "Do you have a favourite?"
"Okay!" says Junia. "We can sing those."
"I do not know what times are free next week," she says. "Do you?"
"Let us do that!" says Junia, smiling.

And off they go! The sign-up sheet offers perennially unpopular early morning slots, and a few scattered middays and afternoons.
"I do not have any objection to mornings," says Junia. "Do you?"

"I can get up early as long as I know to go to bed earlier the night before," says Keziah, pointing at a sunrise slot the following morning.
"Okay!" says Junia. "We can sign up for sunrise tomorrow."
"Yes I do," says Junia. "But it might be a good idea to practice."
