Since Annie is deaf there is no risk of this awakening her.

Lucette also does a good job of being quiet.

Up until she hits her own crescendo, when for some reason Annie's name slips out of her mouth.

That doesn't wake her up either - she's really very tired - but she does go "mm" and curl up closer.

This, like everything else about her Annie, is extremely good.

When Annie wakes up Lucette is in her sitting room, bending silverware with her powers. Well, trying to bend silverware. Mostly it just goes flying out of her hands unless she holds it hard enough to bend it without her powers. But she's gotten the resonance right for at least one spoon and she's determined to get the hang of it for this fork as well. 

Oh, cute. Annie gets herself ready for the day, supervising at a distance, and then drifts into the sitting room too.

Lucette has successfully persuaded a fork to wiggle at a speed of her choosing by the time Annie's finished.

"-well, I see to have relatively fine control over my power. Now I merely need to find some greater use for such control than animating silverware."

"Did you choose silverware for some property it has besides being around, or can you animate lots of things?"

"Lots of things, though many of them would break instead of bending I believe... I think what I am doing has something to do resonance, but I'm not entirely certain."

"Okay, so you can - break stuff, or bend it if it bends? At what range? Is it only stuff that isn't alive or can you do this to plants?"

"I need to be touching it, and depending on the size and material, it will take a different amount of time, I expect. I don't see any reason why I couldn't do it to plants?"

"What kind of time range?"

"For silverware it takes me -" Lucette checks her notes "-on average between three and four seconds to get the silverware to do more than twitch, but trending downwards with practice. My guess is bigger objects will take longer and the intensity seems to increase with duration as well."

"And you're just making them shake, or can you get more specific?"

"I can definitely affect the axis on which the shaking occurs, and I can make them shake or less or slower or faster.... I'm not sure what the limitations are. I could possibly cause something to stop shaking as well? I have a sense that informs me about shaking both caused by me and otherwise. I'm also unsure of the upper limits of the ... magnitude of the ability."

"Are powers guaranteed to be useful? I expect this one can be but affects how hard it makes sense to look."

"I have not heard of useless ones, though I'm not certain I would have if they did exist."

"I guess maybe you could counter an earthquake, though I don't know how common they are here."

"Very few.... I could possibly cause an earthquake.... which I am not particularly enthused about, but at least it's me and not someone else with such a power."

"Is that how it works, if you didn't get it someone else would?"

"Oh, no. Powers tend to be of a similar sort within families, but other than that seem random to me, though many people claim other patterns exist I find the evidence for them uncompelling."

"Is yours like a relative's at all?"

"I suspect my grandfather's primary ability contributed to mine, and my grandmother's to my flight. My grandfather had control over his voice -  he could ensure his words were heard by people as far away as London, and could yell loudly in a way that carried concussive force within his immediate vicinity. My grandmother's ability was, I believe, gravitational in nature."

"...isn't your grandfather still alive?"

"Yes, but powers break once someone is old enough, leaving them unempowered."
