You told us! Is your singing voice average for an angel? It'd be good even for an Elf. 

Am preeeeetty good. Mommy better. Dars loud and Keziah go soooooo high and Ariel just kinda okay. Daddy mortal but he singing too he have so big range and not even having wish it on!

Great. Okay. Bedtime? Is it bedtime. How long can they babysit a kid. Well, in a few decades she won't be a kid, at least. 

Is night here yet? Is there even a window in here?

I think it should matter more if it was night where you came from. We are far north and it gets dark very late. 

Went in nice bar and time do pausing in it. Am not really tired, anyway.

Alright. Read a book? Play a game?

Not know language of here, Pen points out, for books.

I can read you a book. Or teach you a game. 

Kinda games?

I don't know. When I was your age I played a lot of gemstones, it's a sort of geometry game. 

How do geometry a game?

Let me ask someone to bring you a set and I'll show you. 

'kay.

It takes a little while, but someone successfully rummages up a set. A set is thirty or fifty stones and hundreds of the fine chains that go between them. He neatly connects the chains so they're all in a circle with an eight-pointed star of chains in the middle. Then he tangles them. Then he tangles them some more. The game is to remove chains one at a time until the gems shake out into - well, you're really little, maybe let's play 'shake out into a circle'.  

This more like a puzzle than a game, Pen opines, but she starts picking at the tangle of chains.

Usually everyone has a different goal shape and we take turns. 

Oh! That a game.

Yep! But I am not eight so it might not be a fair game. 

Yeah. Pick pick.

You're a fast learner!

Am!

I hope your parents show up immediately, he doesn't say. 

Her parents:

do not show up immediately.

Eventually she has circled the tangle!

Really nice! That was brilliant! You have good instincts for this, lots of people take a long time to not make mistakes that leave them a twig-shaped thing at the end.
