There are 3 presents sitting under the Christmas tree. One of them is rather large. Roxy walks in and sees the presents. She walks towards the biggest one, "H."

She sits down and begins to unwrap. Inside are 3 hens. Roxy blinks, her eyes burning slightly. They're clearly bloodshot. She's probably still high. She gazes upon the hens within the box and begins to laugh. She picks one up and heads outside. Roxy goes to the side of the road and places the hen down. "Go. Cross it. Now."

The hen pecks at the ground.

"Move. Now. Cross the road," she demands.

It pecks at the ground.

Roxy starts to break down in tears, "PLEASE!"

It starts walking to a bush.

"NO" She falls to her knees sobbing.

Sparrow walks up from the tree line to see Roxy on the ground, "Whats up?"

"YOU," Roxy points at Sparrow, lifting her head, teary-eyed and frowning, "COMMAND IT TO CROSS THE ROAD."

"Alright" Sparrow shrugs and looks at the hen, "Traversez la route s'il vous plaît cher"

The hen crosses the road.

"WJATHTEFUCK," Roxy starts crying.

"Its a french hen," Sparrow explains.

"THIS HOUSE IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE."

Sparrow shrugs and walks in through the front door. Sparrow swings the door open, "Helllllooooo lovelies!"

Luna rolls her eyes, "Can we help you ma'am?"

"I wanted to pay my favorite supporting cast a visit!"

"That's nice dear." Luna's opening two other wrapped presents from under the christmas tree. The window is left open as 2 turtle doves and a partridge escape from the gifts. Two French hens walk around the room. "Three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge minus the pear tree. Very cute."

Kade enters the room and stares at the hens.

Luna turns to Kade, "...Kade, we don't know if they're divulgars or not. Probably are, knowing Sparrow."

Kade frowns. Sparrow blinks some, "Wait wait wait, you're getting a christmas song of conduit divulgars?"

"Yes? Isn't that what you've been sending us Sparrow? The first day was an empty box, the second day was a partridge. Day 3 had two turtle dove conduit Divulgars and the partridge,"Luna watches the hen walk across the room, "And now add three french hens to the mix."

"HA,” Sparrow laughs, ”No but this is grand! You guys are getting a conduit warning and I didnt have to lift a finger, this is great!"

Luna closes her eyes to focus a little bit, "Wait, these weren't your fault?"

Sparrow snickers, "No but I'll definitely love to take the blame deary."

"...You called it a Conduit Warning? Hang on, Kyle said something about that." Luna snaps as her laptop appears and she begins typing.

Sparrow scoffs, "Yeah, that's all conduits do. They're trying to warn you about something. They never really try to help though. You ask me that's just half assed work."

"That doesn't surprise me. It's the same way as getting a premonition of the future in a dream," she smiles

One of the french hens pecks at the sofa as Sparrow glances at it, "At Least it's entertaining."

Luna tilts her head some, "Is it though? Sounds more of a pain in the ass to me. We had people eat the birds yesterday too. Anyway, how's life treating ya? Find a place to live?"

Kade picks up a hen and starts shaking it.

"YOU ATE THE CONDUIT DIVULGARS!?! HAHAHA" Sparrow doubles over laughing.

"Me? Gods no. It was a couple others in the house," Luna corrects.

The hen sounds distressed as feathers start falling off. Sparrow pauses and watches with a slightly disgusted look, "...Anyway, I bet that blood gave them a hell of a hadal high."

"Hadal high? I thought these were divulgars," Luna tilts her head.

Kade sets the hen down as it has issues walking.

"To be fair, hadal blood and divulgar blood are basically the same thing," Sparrow explains.

"Interesting. Learning a lot. But yeah, the hadal high was really bad for one of them. They tried to kill me with a scythe," Luna sighs, "Lock too."

"Oh that's too bad," Sparrow frowns, "I'm sorry they weren't able to."

Luna rolls her eyes and takes a fucking deep breath. Anything to keep from fucking hurting someone right now

"Now if you don't mind, I need to go order Nyx around some. Seems she's forgotten who's in charge now," Sparrow smiles as she heads to the door.

Kade picks up the hen again and sits down. The hen pecks at Kades fingers. He watches "I could eat you."

Sparrow clears her throat and speaks to the hen, "Comportez-vous. Celui-là a tendance à mordre"

The hen stops and shakes slightly.

"I don't understand what that meant but thank you," Kade nods.

Luna turns to Kade. Her eyes move as if reading, "Basically Sparrow said to behave and that you tend to bite."

Sparrow leaves.
