King Elk Forest The End of Burke Rochester.

we can probably fade here! last post from me

his heart ached for malice and mato and himself. he's glad she's able to pass on burke's final wishes (not that he would have done anything else, anyway) and easily makes space for her to help with carrying the body. burke is not exactly a small man -- the extra paws are more help than hindrance. 

with his body positioned between them, delight considers queenie's question. "i have a place in mind," he says, thinking of the deeper reach of the eastern side of the forest. he gives malice a questioning glance -- unless you want to decide -- but assuming she's willing to follow his lead, delight'll have them begin the careful trek to the place he pictures, where they can bury the elder rochester and pay final respects.
