"She broke the bird, you know. The great skua, not the grouse you brought. I found it on the ground with a broken wing. On the morning she left."

He takes a bottle of wine off the shelf and pours himself a glass. "They ride the cock carousel until the clock runs out. Here. Have the rest." He corks the bottle and hands it to you.
"Now, let me have a drink and think about this shit for a moment -- on my own." He stares into the blood red liquid in the cup.
"Broken bird. Feathers." (Nod knowingly.) "This is all part of the mind-fuck on the cock-carousel."

"Thanks, I guess..." He gives you a short nod. "Was there anything else you wanted, or..."
