symbols hold infinite layers of meaning

Isabella studies her new alethiometer dictionary between magical assignments from Metis. She even found a book of sample questions and answers - the English originals of the questions and the professional readers' deciphering of the answers are given, and she can try her hand at composing symbolized versions of each. She uses the exercises sparingly. There aren't that many of them, and she doesn't want to contaminate her knowledge of the subject while she's still learning, not until she has an actual alethiometer in her hands and can try asking it questions to which she already knows the answers to calibrate.

Kas is indeed smiling. Petaal is indeed soft. And she makes a happy humming sound when Isabella pets her.

Actually, they both do.

Well then.

Isabella gets used to this faster than she expected. She keeps an ear out for Metis, who could return at any time, but she carries on petting Petaal with focused attention.

After a little while of everyone enjoying themselves, Petaal turns into a fluffy long-haired cat and requests belly rubs.

Those are also supplied.

Purrrrrr.
