Consider it an offering to them. Nahri is burning her stuff, but I like to bury mine. Same difference isn't it?

Oh... I see.

What religion is that from?

[ there's a slight laugh. ]

I don't know if it's tied to a specific one. Offerings in general are from all kinds of religions, but usually they're above ground. I guess I've always just thought about burying mine since...you know. People are usually buried, too. As a kid I always thought maybe putting it in the ground would reach them faster and I guess I never really grew out of that.

[ despite being dead inside, livio smiles slightly ]

... I like it. And it does make sense, to me. We do bury people. I know pharaohs in the old world used to be buried with their treasure too.

Yeah, see? So it's like...sending them off or sending them things that are good that they might want to hear or might enjoy. I think it's probably the best way to honor them and let them know we're thinking about them.
