We'll find them. And we'll burn them, in His name.

[redforce]

( Shanks approves. )

I see why he likes you.

Will you help me see to his body once the investigations are complete?
I can't leave him ... like that.

( the display is offensive enough as it is, and while shanks can't confirm if osiris has any power over death here, it would be unconscionable to leave set's soul defenseless. shanks promised to protect him. this is the most he can do, for now. )

[nishtha]

Yes. We will care for Him, and send Him forth, ready to welcome Him back.

Do you need anything? Companionship? Protection? Consider me at your command.

[redforce]

Make the necessary preparations.
Come find me when the square is clear.

( he needs many things — a shoulder to cry on, something or someone to take his anger out on, someone to lie with him and hold him and let him fall asleep to their breathing, the warmth of another body to stave off the cold sweat of unpleasant dreams — but even at a time like this, even when it is freely offered, he cannot bring himself to ask. )

[nishtha]

Very well.

[ He'll be there, with mortuary thread and embalming fluids, incense and food for the offerings. Available to Shanks in whatever capacity is needed, in the name of their shared god, their shared love. ]
