Summary : Written for primeval100 challenge 848, “One for Sorrow".

“Hello Mx Magpie, hello Mx Magpie, hello Mx Magpie, how’s your partner?”

Claudia laughed. “Not heard that one before.”

A gamine grin lit their creature expert’s face. “Gender neutral version.”

Blade, leaning against a tree carefully whittling a piece of wood, murmured: “One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth."

A second brightly feathered bird flew down to join the first one on the ground.

When the third and fourth arrived, the soldiers stared expectantly at the two women.

“Fuck off, the lot of you,” Claudia ordered in her very best parade ground voice.

Love it!

I just vaguely salute them!

[fredbassett]

I always do the hello rhyme. We have a pair nesting in one of our trees. This is the third year they've been here. So we rarely see them apart.

LOL, possibly taking things a bit too literally there, lads! *g*

[fredbassett]

Typical soldiers!

LOL! ^_^
We have had a pair in the park next to our home for a few years now, but the other day I say four of them! ^_^

[fredbassett]

We've had two in our field in France for ages. Sounds like yours are breeding!

[cordeliadelayne]

Ha ha!

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

Ha! They are very beautiful birds, I love how they are associated with portent!

[fredbassett]

Yes, they're very beautiful!
