Yay for missing the drama of Nem's indecision! lol But ewww, flu, go away sickness, you are not welcome! I hope it didn't make Christmas dismal.

Eeeee, I'm glad you liked it! And that Curdle's feelings are coming through. I didn't want to have him completely break down, cuz he's not keen on showing that much intentionally, but it's definitely harder to get emotions across when someone's trying to hold them in or hide them. So, yay! It worked! 

And pretty much. Renna inters bodies though, no ashes, so Curdle's technically already ruined their traditions by burning Fiira's body, same with Sherahd. As for the rest, depending on how much Miria should know about jinn death rituals (or Sherahd's funerary traditions), that is the interpretation I was going for. A jinni wouldn't need to go to Sherahd to do it, but Curdle's confused from his poor performance thus far, and will be waffling between finishing things as soon as possible, and taking Fiira back to the home she missed so much. If Miria knows more details than ashes and wind scattering, if she's seen a jinn funeral before, then she might know there's some more magic involved and have a few questions for due procedure.  But if she doesn't, that's perfect. :)

He's mostly just telling her he's already set trouble in motion and she may not want to be so generous. Also, kind of hoping for someone to tell him he's doing the right thing. Miria doesn't have to agree with his efforts though. It's too late to stop.

Hope you had a good sleep! And are feeling better!
