Burying Friends
Well after the last light of evening had faded, the Black Sheep buried Caroon and Namosa.
It was a mostly silent affair, with Amarena standing back as Noir and Kir spoke their goodbyes.
Kir didn't know if it was appropriate for him to say anything, given how little time he'd been part of the group, but he said what he could, and with Noir and Sam's nod, buried a piece of the soulstone skull with them.
"Doesn't feel right, taking their share," Noir had said.
Once buried, simple markers were left on the graves, with Noir promising to return and give them proper tombstones.
They stayed for a long hour, then they returned to the house, and Kir laid himself out on the couch while Amarena, Noir, and Sam slept upstairs.
Stella remained on the same floor as Kir, reading a book from Bridget's small library while sitting between his legs.
