It would be inaccurate to say that Brennan is 'eyeball to eyeball' with the skull in her hands. Ditto for 'nose to nose'. Skulls have neither eyeballs nor noses. In this particular case, all soft tissue would have completely disintegrated months ago, leaving nothing but bone behind.
But she is staring intently into the empty eye sockets, aided by a bright hand-held light, and a pair of strong magnifying glasses that make Brennan look as if she has a pair of slim binoculars strapped to her face.
"Unusual scoring to the bone in the interior rim of the eye sockets," she mutters aloud. She knows that talking to herself isn't logical, but it slips out occasionally, especially since, in the lab, she's gotten used to talking through observations with her team.
Busy, but botherable.
