It's a terrible day for rain

Asmodeus wasn't sure if he'd attend the funeral at all, not until it was almost too late. He'd never been to a funeral before and certainly not one that he'd indirectly caused. His heart sank to see all the loved ones gathered, presenting to Aureus gifts to take with him into the afterlife. The guilt was overwhelming and he felt as if the moment he walked up to the pyre that all eyes would be upon him and judging him for their beloved family member's death. In his mouth he carried the one possession that meant anything to him - his quill, gifted to him by Aoife. Deus had nothing else to offer the man who'd saved his life, and while it hurt to think of watching the quill burn to ash he knew death must hurt worse. On oversized paws he padded up to the pyre, his lip quivering hard as he thought back to the earthquake and the two wolves who ensured he made it out alive. He placed the quill down upon the pile with the other gifts. "This was given to me by my best friend. I think she'd have wanted you to have it instead, uncle." The pup's eyes began to fill with tears and he lifted a paw to hastily swipe them away. "I'm so sorry. It should have been me." It took all his strength to turn his back on his uncle's corpse, and his head hung between his shoulders as he approached his alpha uncle. "Uhm, I-" He stuttered, needing to steel himself to force his concern to words. "I'm sorry." No apologies could fix this, but it felt odd to approach a grieving man with a favor without at least acknowledging his loss. "Where did you put Eliphas' body? He was Aureus' f-friend. Aureus loved him, they should go to Abraxas together." His ears fell flat to his skull, his tail tucking slightly. Had they even thought to collect the other wolf's corpse? Deus had been in shock, he couldn't remember if he told them how important it was that Eliphas receive a goodbye, too.
