"N-U-N. Women who renounce a normal lifestyle to live with other nuns. They don't marry, so they can do things like visit sick people without worrying about exact details of how they're touching the sick people, and they're not supposed to be - reputationally affected by anything they did before entering their nunneries, though that's imperfectly practiced."

Will I need to do this if I can music-heal people?

"I don't think so, no."

Nod.  Well, she can - lace fingers with herself, how about.  That's new.  (It feels really weird.)

"If you could dance then that's a reason, but I can't dance, it'd just let you hold hands with someone who can. - I guess maybe I can dance with the necklace but I'm not sure it's helping that much. And it involves moving around the room in a not consistently seaward direction so you presumably shan't."

...Nod.

"Sorry to disappoint. But if you don't want to be a nun then presumably one day you'll get married and then you can touch your husband."

Or women?

"Yes, or women, presumably Jane helped you get dressed and so on."

Nod.

"Any other questions or anything?"

More books?

"Sure. Coming right up."

And off he goes.

Cyllene plays to her eraser rag and does some preliminary work figuring out how she could get chalk dust to magically adhere to it without causing problems if she accidentally drops a fresh stick on it.

Cymebline comes back with five more books!

Which one first?

"Probably either the magic primer or the history of Loegria?"

On the one hand, magic magic magic, but on the other... she has a lot to learn about right now.  She has the start of a plan, and to enact it - she should get better at reading and writing.  That will help everything else go more easily.  She doesn't need to be distracted by exciting things about a new form of magic when it will still be there later and she has another, probably more fruitful, one that's also limited by practice. 

And it will be good to know about the history of Loegria.  She starts in.

Cymbeline leaves her to it.

Loegria was once inhabited by barbarian tribes, then colonized for a while by the Latian Empire, and then the empire fell, and the tribes picked up a bit from there but were variously subjugated, exterminated, or united by King Aethelward the Peacemaker, who secured a marriage alliance with neighboring Aquitan by (for his second wife) taking the sister of the king thereof as his wife, and from there on it's been various feudal dustups and annexations and developments and generations of kings and queens.

Is Cymbeline in this book?  Are his parents?

Cymbeline is not in this book but his mother's family is and her marriage to his father is mentioned, toward the end.

Anything about their personalities, or just that they exist?

Not their personalities directly, but there's some about their reception among the other powers of importance (the church is lukewarm, the other nobility are mostly pro, the neighbors are all chill with it at time of writing as far as the author knows).

She'll have to learn this information in other ways, she supposes.

She does some handwriting practice, and some organizing of her list of words into a better one - she should give up on tapping them and just carry it around to remind her of what words exist and how to spell them.  This means she can write them more densely.  (Also she's just capable of writing smaller letters than when she started the last one.)

What other books are there?

There's the magic primer, and a couple more novels - they're in a separate pile, with the one she read already - and a book about astronomy and a book about how to read sheet music and a book about horses and a book of poems.
