(( Odette would figure something out. I am officially back from my quasi-hiatus of being a secondary character in my school’s production of Hairspray. ))

((That sounds pretty cool! Did you have fun? Was the show well-received?))

((Mama Swan! ;A; Ples is good at coming back. He maybe a bit tougher to kill than a regular person.

But not much tougher.

He’ll need Odette to make sure all the pieces and parts are still there for when someone who is capable can come by and fix him up, yes. uvu Where you been, lay-day? I miss you.))

(( I dunno, I mean I guess Odette’s a fast enough learner because she can memorize shit like NO ONES BUSINESS while under threat of pain but srsly what are you doing in Ravenclaw, Odette. ))

((Is she more like a Horfleporf, do you think?))

((Well, reading shouldn’t really factor into it, right? I mean, not the house selection but more like school in general. Odette, if you can’t read, you probably can’t go to that school. How would you even know you got accepted?

Is Ravenclaw just accepting everybody? Everybody that shows the smallest hint of intellectual curiosity?)) 

I wish I knew more lullabies.

[/ nods ] There was a very kind old woman who helped me when…after I left my husband. She taught me many things, including a few lullabies when I told her I had children.

Will you sing one for me?

[/ Odette smiled broadly ] Of course!

I will always have a song for you if you wish it.

Ples nodded and got comfortable, eager to hear another song that would remind him of better times.

I wish I knew more lullabies.

[/ Odette nodded ] Like the greek lullabies I know. They are not like other songs I have heard.

There’s something comforting in their archaic structure. It’s nice to know the old patterns endure.

Do you know Greek lullabies? Really?

[/ Odette smiled and chuckled ] Well, I seem to have a surplus of sons so I think it would be good to learn.

[/ Odette repeated each word Ples pronounced slowly, her own faint accent marring a few vowels but once Odette noticed she did her best to fix her pronunciation ]

That’s very good. The third line: A’ ghrian ‘s i ‘g èirigh. And the fourth is almost like the first two: O nàili bhò hò.

…this will be interesting. It doesn’t really follow the traditional verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus pattern…

[/ Odette nodded and moved closer until her shoulder lightly touched Ples’ ]

I understand, little things can help more than most think.

If you taught me the words I could sing it with you, and share it with my little ones.

He smiled at the slight contact.

Certainly. Perhaps they will like it. It’s, I think, a little rare for a lullaby to be specific to sons. The first two lines are the same:Nàili bho hò hì.

Ples spoke slowly and with a very deliberately pronounced accent; he found that the words got lazy when he actually sang, thus allowing him to sing the lyrics correctly .

[/ After a few moments of listening and thought Odette softly sang the tune back. ]

It sounds lovey regardless.

It’s about a newborn king. I like it.

He looked down, eyes oh-so-slightly misty now.

I sing it when I think no one is listening. Comforting, you know.
