The soil was freshly laid, forming a shallow mound.
Tony sat down in front of the rudimentary grave at last, silent.
Aiden exchanged glances with the other two; Qiqimora seemed expressionless, but Aiden noticed her repeated attempts to approach Tony's figure. He could only deter her with his eyes, as Tony's current state was obviously not suitable for discussing any deals.
"Can I stay here alone for a while?" Tony asked quietly.
"Your condition is quite worrying," Aiden said.
"Then Mr. Galrod, you stay here, I have some questions I'd like to ask you," Tony responded.
Aiden looked at Qiqimora and Lamia, signaling with his eyes that they should rest first.
Lamia left without hesitation, but Qiqimora seemed reluctant. After Aiden gestured again with his hands, she finally pouted and departed.
Aiden stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a tree in silence, waiting. Tony had said he had questions to ask, but kept silent the whole time.
