Mias and Elle - Chapter 10 - Page 14
Mar 12, 2026
Of course Elias has a musical number.
I decided to keep the Old English version of this song to baffle poor Elle, but once you know what the lyrics mean it's so interesting to see the etymology. And Elias has a lovely singing voice.
"Sing cuckoo, now. Sing Cuckoo.
Summer is a coming in. Loudly sing Cuckoo.
Cuckoo, cuckoo. Well sings you, Cuckoo.
Do not ever stop. Loudly sing Cuckoo!"
This is a hashed interpretation of an Old English song called "Sumer Is Icumin In".
It's a really beautiful song and here's a link to how it's sung: https://youtu.be/7uhJzYff2zM?si=MgZ7BaSxwnQZzxMu
Elias or Mias would sing this song after playing and finishing their game of Cuckoo, so this is just Elias carrying on the tradition.

Elias is definitely the type of person who’s more into Elle now because she made him bleed. And Mias is now more worried for Elle because she made Elias bleed.
