[The PCD catches Break singing has he manages the dishes.]

Twelve for the twelve Apostles
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven,
Ten for the ten commandments,
Nine for the nine bright shiners,
Eight for the April Rainers,
Seven for the seven stars in the sky,

[Up to his elbows in soap, voice pleasant, but wheezy.]

Six for the six proud walkers,
Five for the symbols at your door,
Four for the Gospel makers,
Three, three, the rivals,
Two, two, the lily-white boys,
Clothèd all in green, O and
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so!

[Following right along after, nest balanced on fingertips.]

[It isn't long before they're home- Break transfers Oswald into the bathtub, and tosses a blanket on top of him for nesting- then races out of the bathroom and shuts the door so he can't fly away.]

[Undertaker spreads an old cloth across a table to catch any mess, setting the nest down ontop of it, tugging two chairs over as well.]

Maybe Oswald is young~enough to be trained.

[He moves to pop tea on, then comes to sit join him.]

[Resting his chin against one palm, plucking the silver chain back from where he had rested it.]

Plan on doing anything with whatever we may find?

Gifts, maybe?

[He picks up a thimble.]

This could be useful, though.

We can sort out what to keep and give.

[Rolling out a few chipped glass marbles, turning them to eye the colors streaked and warped within.]

Very pretty.

These were possibly used to attract a mate.

Little feathery love.

[Humming with a faint smile, pushing aside old leaves inside, holding up two old bird skulls.]

Till death, even then to~ge~ther.

This is an old nest.

That's sort of tragic.

Some would find it romantic, in a tragic way.

I bet they had chicks. Dozens of them.

He brought her something near each season, wooing her each time.

They died in each others wings.

[Brushing a thumb across the two small skulls he still held.]

Of old age, content.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in their nest.

Inde~ed. Mayhaps we should do something special with these, keep them together.

Let's. You know bones better than I do.

I could string them together to hang somewhere, it isn't too terribly hard to put small holes into them when careful of not breaking bone.

My, I could try my hand at necklaces- simple ones, of course. Dress them up a little with bone engraving if you'd like something added.

[Placing the skulls down, looking them over thoughtfully.]

If the rest of their bones are there and accounted for.. I could possibly make a lovely articulation with the pair, adding in some things we find within the nest.

That's a nice idea. Recreate them.

[Moving to gently start picking bones out.]

If we can't find them all I can use some odd ones I've got at my little workshop.

[Helping pick out bones from other bits of the nest.]

Look at this.

[A pretty silver bauble.]

That is a pretty thing.
