A pyre for family (oct 27, 7:23 am)

[Sigurd Vask]

Grimnir walks from the trees, a log over his shoulder with a bundle of sticks tied to it. Setting it gently near the pyres he nods to Sven. "Do not be ashamed of your tears, Sven. We are made mortal by knowing we must shed tears for the lost. Shed them now, while we prepare, so when we do set the bodies we may celebrate their passing and their spirits can hear the love of those they leave behind."
