[There's singing audible as the mirror becomes active, although it only shows leaves for a moment as the vine seems to hide behind a tree branch. It moves out into the open slowly, showing Mahalia stood in a small clearing.

She's the one singing, although there's no human words to the song, only sounds. A birdsong, something that might seem quite strange coming from a young girl's throat. The meaning is still clear in the notes and the tone - something of a lullaby, a song meant to sooth and comfort, and it will invoke those feelings a little in anyone listening. Remind them of warm, safe places, home.

It's a familiar song to her, and she's singing it to try and comfort herself, but it isn't really working. She's already crying, and has to stop singing every now and then as her tears disrupt her voice, but always continues again after a moment, determined to finish.]

It's all right. [ Caprica smiles just a little, in a manner that tries to pass for reassuring, and shakes her head. ] I've found the Vine doesn't exactly ask first most of the time.

I've never heard anyone sing like that before.

[She nods, mentally making a note to keep an eye on the vine in future.]

He's birdsouled, my godfather. It's taken me a long time to learn, and I only know a little, really.
