King Elk Forest good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter

the children do not linger at their father's side -- he supposes he can't blame them. they still bring a sense of unease in delight, something which makes him feel guilty given the circumstances, but are not oddities allowed in mourning? probably, or something. the morwinyon shares a glance with anatha, not moving to stop them as they retreat from the scene, and sets to work with the task of moving cicero. he is not of tindómë and delight sees no real need to bury him with burke (were his children not directly in his care now the androgyne might have just... shuffled him out of the way and left him). instead he pulls him a little ways from the border and creates a shallow grave, just enough to be respectful. 

then he retreats himself to reflect on what happened and what he needs to do now.
