Duo was scooping sand into one of the buckets as Alice spoke and laughed softly. "You're never too old, if you've never done it before..." He finished filling the bucket up and glances over at Alice. "... I came close to this once. When I was a kid. I..."

He tipped the bucket over and patted the end, giving himself a few seconds to organise his thoughts before he continued. "I ran with these group of kids. Orphans like me. Our leader, he was a few years older than me. He was obsessed in swings but he'd never been on one. We broke into one of the fancy playgrounds on night. He got to swing. I did too. There was a sand pit, I just didn't know what the hell to do with it. Couldn't have been there more'n 20 minutes before we were found and run out."

Delicately he pulled the bucket up and in it's place was an almost perfectly formed sand castle. One of the little turrets hadn't worked out and he pouted. "Ah, damn. Dunno why that always happens, no matter how much I pack it in!"
