Isibel likes being able to ask at any time that a mirror of herself, from another world but with the same soul, visit her and speak with her. She doesn't do it too often, not even every day, but it is soothing to have the other Bells behind her on the long and arduous project of figuring herself out again so that she can do as Bells are meant to do.
She asks Jane to send her whoever is taking their turn, one day, and Jane does not respond.
She broadcasts this information, and her alarm, to her beloveds.

"It may be past time I visited my parents," muses Isibel. "...I don't believe they know about you at all. I am sure someone would have done them the kindness of explaining my absence, but it does not seem likely that they received that much detail."

"You could accompany me if you wished. Perhaps hanging back to a safe distance until I have explained you. Although the dragon could come nearer without prior explanation."

He laughs.
"We'll fly you there," he says. "And I will hide, until you have explained me."

Isibel nods.
"I do not know how difficult it may be to explain you," she adds. "I have not often spoken with either of my parents about our ancient enemy."

"I know you are." She would have had staggering difficulty living on an uninhabited island for ten thousand years and retaining her sanity.

Isibel looks around her home. It is quite devoid of anything that requires her ongoing attention.
