Ouroboros Spine jump then fall

Nantahala took several steadying breaths as Kukutux quieted her concern. O-Okay, she said with a nod, stilling her quivering bottom lip. We'll t-turn it o-over! But even with the affirmation that it'd be alright, she couldn't shake the feeling that she'd majorly messed up. Next time, she'd be more careful, and she promised, It won't happen again!!! 

Kukutux sang the song again, giving Nantahala a reprise from her uncharacteristic anxiety and the chance to sing it for herself. 

aya, aya, aya!

the handsome boy there, he is staring at your face!

do not look, do not look

i will say the words loud so he will hear them:

'what did your father ask in trade?'

Her spirits lifted, and she could see why this had been Ariadne's favorite working song.
