Yes. And what more can the dead ask for save witness and remembrance?

[She bows her head in silent acknowledgement of the individual's plight. It doesn't matter who it was, they did deserve some sort of memorial.]

I wish you well on your journey into the hereafter, whoever you were.

[She has no god, no Goddess, but...there's still some peace in thinking about an afterlife.]

[He held his silence as he watched the pyre burn. After a moment, Hubert carefully stands gathering up the baskets.]

[As he does, the little earth construct melts into an inanimate pile of dirt and rock. Farewell, Nubs. Not much effort was put into the duration of your spell.]

[unyieldingmarch]

[Farewell, Nubs.

Edelgard remains focused on the burning pyre, quiet, contemplative, even a touch mournful. The fire snaps, cracks, and falls in on itself in a shower of cinders after a time, the body going up in smoke.]

[bloodypath]

[Hubert steps up beside her, allowing her this vigil for their tragic stranger. Only after the makeshift pyre starts crumbling towards ashes does he speak.]

This world's magic is still too foreign to me for me to declare if this matter is finished or not. We can reinspect it tomorrow, to see if the grass has begun to lose its hold.

[The hunger's needling him again, but Hubert wasn't going to interrupt a ritual like this for discomfort. Sating his own hunger before the restless spirit of the starved seemed... tactless.]

[unyieldingmarch]

[Edelgard turns when she feels the bite of hunger, nodding to him.]

I think that would be wise. I have no objections to checking it again tomorrow night, and we can bring a proper meal. Perhaps take our midnight tea here?

[That seems...weirdly...like something the spirit might appreciate. Real change in an area where they once starved.]

[bloodypath]

[He turns a curious look to Edelgard. A strange suggestion, but he has no reason to object.]

I see no harm in it. I'll make preparations for it.

[unyieldingmarch]

Good. I'll sleep well, looking forward to that.
