does not anymore work

[campanas]

Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:

an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

with Edie and Emily (Maggie)

with Gloria (Maggie)

And then they are not in the grocery store anymore and Pen is not being asked to keep her wings still.
When they get back to the apartment, would Pen like to help Gloria figure out a cake recipe and bake a cake?

[campanas]

"Dunno how cake."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Well, that's what the recipe's for."

[campanas]

"Dunno how recipes."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Okay. Is there anything in particular you'd like to do right now?"

[campanas]

"Sing?"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Okay then. I hope none of the neighbors think I have a new stereo and want to borrow it," Gloria jokes.
If Pen doesn't want to do something right now that requires Gloria's participation, she will get started on making cake.

Pen sits with impeccable posture, and then she sings.

Boy does she ever sing.

[maggie_of_the_owls]

Boy, does she ever sing!
Wow.
If she sings the same thing enough times, Gloria will probably start humming along.

[campanas]

Well, there's a repetitive chorus in this one - "You wanting learn harmony?"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Sure, I'd love to."

[campanas]

So Pen sings for her the harmony part for this song. The song is entirely in Samarian, which Gloria will have to learn by rote, but the song itself is not that hard.

[maggie_of_the_owls]

Gloria will probably get a few words wrong the first few times through, but she picks up the song quickly.

[campanas]

And now they can harmonize together! This is the most fun part of singing.

[maggie_of_the_owls]

It is! And it does not interfere with baking.

[campanas]

Hooray!

[maggie_of_the_owls]

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

[campanas]

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

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"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?"

[campanas]

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

[maggie_of_the_owls]

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

[campanas]

"Okay!"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

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

[campanas]

"Is okay. Singing those all times anyway."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

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