Hooray!

"What do those word mean?" Gloria asks when the song's over. "They're not in any language I recognize."

"Is Samarian song. Mostly knowing Samarian songs and Edori, not as many English."

"Oh, right. It's a bit strange, that you're from another world and speak English, come to think of it. So what was the song about?"

"Is about Jovah bringing ancestors all to Samaria, in hands. Not really happen like so but makes good song."

"Huh. Well, it definitely is a good song. Do you want to learn some songs in English while you're here?"

"Okay!"

"I think most of the sheet music I have is for religious songs..."

"Is okay. Singing those all times anyway."

"It's not a problem that our religions are different?" she checks.

"No-o? Maybe yours even right one, here, some worlds having gods."

"Alright," she says, takes a moment to parse the rest of that sentence, and decides to address that later. If at all. "So the hymnal's over here...I think Amazing Grace would be a good place to start."

"Okay."

So Gloria teaches Pen some hymns. She also remembers she has an internet, and googles sheet music for some more modern songs she likes.

Pen is used to different conventions of sheet music, but she figures out this version reasonably well in short order.

It helps, presumably if Gloria sings along with the notes on the page.

Yes, Pen is also pretty good at learning things by ear.

Then they can sing various songs in English, religious and non-.

...And eat cake, right?

Once it's out of the oven it needs to cool down for a while and then be frosted, but eventually, yes. Of course, only Pen will actually eat cake, although Gloria can sneak tastes of frosting if she's sure to let it dissolve very thoroughly before swallowing.

Pen will help frost it! Untidily, but who's counting.

Meh, it's for eating, not for taking pictures of and putting in a magazine.

And it is delicious for eating.

Not all at once. Gloria's not that irresponsible.

Pen only wants two slices.
