Groovy Tunes, Thursday
For someone who had had thousands of bodies during her two thousand year life span, Breq had hardly noticed the difference when she woke up in a different body. That is, until she started humming as she was getting dressed.
This body had a beautiful voice, a soft yet clear tenor, reminding her of a recent one she had had, one that had been destroyed when Anaander Mianaai had blown her up.
That discovery had been made yesterday, and since the island was no doubt going to change her back eventually, Breq had decided to make the most of it. Today she was cleaning the store again, even though it was already spotless, singing old Valskayan hymns, and repeatedly one from Shis'urna:
My heart is a fish
Hiding in the water-grass
In the green, in the green.
She didn't notice that tears sometimes rand down her face as she was singing that one.
[Open, although I will be slow.]
