"No. Here, let me..." She rifles through her bag and extracts a case from which she pulls a curved band with two soft round things on the inside of its ends. She uses her thumbnail to move something intricate on it with a sharp click, and the circles on the outer side from the soft bits light up orange, then switch to soft amber. "Put this on," she instructs, passing it across the table. "Over your ears."

Clicky clicky clicky. "My niece likes this one."
Hello, my name is child of the One true Queen
I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free
Surpassing grace is the course I've seen

Thekla smiles into her cobbler. "Yeah, it makes sense that we'd have ones your world hasn't gotten to. Or maybe we've just gone in completely different directions. Have you recognized most of the ones you've heard so far?"
