“Oh, don't be sorry, sweetheart. Trust me, I have my own share of dreary stories,” Sonya said returning Aurora’s smile. Manny had indeed neglected to tell his mother that Aurora had actually been hurt twice, but only because the second time was his own fault. 


[color=a0410d]“You know the perfect thing to clear away a dreary moment? A little music...,”[/color] Manny said with a grin. He motioned silently to Sonya with his eyes toward Aurora’s cast and gave his mom the ‘please heal my broken little friend’ look. He started lightly tapping a rhythm on the table and waited for his mom to join in. Sonya smiled and began to sing softly with Manny’s beat. It seemed quite automatic as if they had done the sort of thing regularly -- which was precisely the case. Music had a strong presence in Manny and Sonya’s relationship and they made music together constantly. As Sonya sang, she let her power activate to heal Aurora.
