Aana had taught her to sing, and though it was very, very bad, well, to Nutu, it was heartfilled.

When she looked up to see the eyes of her aapa, she saw an ogre.

Gasping softly, she let go and sheepishly melted onto the ground with a pouted lip. "Mmmnsooooorrrwyyy." Eventually, no more tears were coming out.
