Meg sighed. “It might be simpler if you were.”

Two of the wings crossed and uncrossed. “I don’t know what I’ve done that I should have you assigned to me. I have a hard enough job as it is. I really don’t feel like coming back to school at all at my age.”

“How old are you?” Meg asked.

“Age, for a cherubim, is immaterial. It’s only for time-bound creatures that it even exists. I am, in cherubic terms, still a child, and that’s all you need to know.”

Meg tossed her head. “If you’re going to be rude to me we might as well call it quits right now. Just get someone to tesser me back to earth and you’ll be rid of me.”

The cherubim thought a number of unspeakable things at her. “If you have been assigned to me, I suppose you are some kind of a Namer, too, even if a primitive one.”

“A what?”

“A Namer. What I’m at school again for is to memorize the names of the stars.”

“Which stars?”

“All of them.”

“You mean all the stars, in all the galaxies?”

“Yes. If he calls for one of them, someone has to know which one he means. Anyhow, they like it; there aren’t many who know them all by name, and if your name isn’t known, then it’s a very lonely feeling.”

“Do you know my name?” Meg asked.

“Of course. Margaret. Meg.”
