Milo nods.  He digs the shovel into the ground and leaves it behind, walking towards the body of Brenden.


"Captain, I know you weren't one for words, so I'll spare you too many of them.  You didn't ask for much and got us all here safe.  No matter how much more difficult it might have made it to let us tag along you gave us all a chance, even if you didn't like it.  Even if some of us didn't deserve it.

You were a good man.  Thank you, and... I'm sorry."

He steps back and pauses, looking down at Brenden's body for a few more moments.  If it wasn't done already, he leans forward to close the captain's eyes and make him look at least a bit more at peace.  Turning away, he looks back towards the rest of their scattered group.


"Thank you, Mazelina.  I suppose we should find out what's going on Lien and her group, seems like we might have new traveling companions by the looks of it."  He pauses for several seconds, looking unsure at the acolyte before continuing.  "You know, just because the Captain was always strong doesn't mean we all need to be.  You're as entitled to a moment as anyone else, if you need one."
