Isibel's beloveds are home. And they are with her. And they are quite undisturbed.
Anyone who could not guess the ensuing events would not know them very well.
She has spent over a sennight, now, with them, entangled and sleepless and so very, very glad to have them again.
It is during a lull in the proceedings - if it can really be called that, when they are sandwiched around her, Ansharil in one of his humanoid shapes, Aianon with his wings wrapping them all up in a bundle - when it occurs to her that Lycaelon was promised a kiss, once, years ago.

That is good. Aianon will want to wear it also, when Ansharil does not. (It would look a little silly around the neck of a dragon.)

Just a little, yes.
(People might ask her why she married her dragon and she could tell them, "Because I love him, of course.")

She is! She is a very adorable sarion.

If her beloveds share their mind with Lycaelon, then things she thinks to them will no longer be private.

—Her beloveds' mind is theirs. They will want to share it with their Bonded. How much would she need them to keep back...? It would be very hard to do, if they did not know exactly which things. (It won't be like lending their experience to Elspeth, where they could just drop everything since they Bonded to Isibel.)

Nothing specific comes to mind. It would be different if she were not already having sex with Lycaelon, but she is, and does not much mind if he observes her stray thoughts of the subject, bounced from mind to mind, or those of her beloveds that concern her. It only seems in principle - troubling, if she could never have a truly private intimacy with her beloveds. Lycaelon is too introverted to want perpetual sharing anyway; perhaps she could simply - retain the option to mark things? She doesn't know what things. It would just feel more comfortable to have such a marker available than to commit to eternal flow of thought to another person for anything she wants to show her beloveds.
endragoned
Well, yes, of course. If there is some particular thing she does not want shared, she has only to think so and they will do their best. They can consult Liselen and Lazarus beforehand about how to make sure that the bond cooperates.

Her beloveds are wonderful and she loves them ever so.
And Lycaelon has, over the last several years, demonstrated himself perfectly competent at verbal discretion; she is not worried about that.

Ansharil laughs and kisses her, wrapping her up in feathered purple wings.
He loves her too.

Good good.
If he will be an elf - a clothed elf - they can go and collect those pendants.

He becomes an elf (with his usual rather un-elven colour scheme) and then becomes clothed.

She takes his hand in hers and teleports them to the place where the agate pendants she likes are to be found.
The artisan welcomes them, delicately ignoring Ansharil's vividly purple hair, and offers tea.
small_magics
Socially acceptable amounts of tea are consumed, and Isibel issues compliments about the blue agate pendants.
The artisan agrees that they are some of her finest work, and lets it be known that Isibel Sarion is welcome to them.

Isibel is appropriately thankful. She conjures up chains for them. She puts her beloved's on around his neck. (She would like it if he would put hers on for her.)
small_magics
She is so proud of her tree. It is a useful enchanted private tree. In which celebrations.
