Maryk just looks at me and then the corner of his mouth moves upwards just a tiny bit. Quickly there and gone again. There's nothing to find here, Leah. It's already gone.
"Oh." I reply quietly. I want to ask why we're here, but I don't. I already asked once and didn't get a reply. He continues with, This is where Eris was laid to rest.
I nod my head. This is like 'paying respects'. I don't quite understand the concept. Not really. I know what death is. I even knew something about that when I was the River, things died in there all the time. And things were born in there too.
Maybe I should ask. Maybe I'll get an answer this time. but I don't want to make him upset. More upset than he already is. If he doesn't want to answer he'll just tell me so.

"What does that mean; laid to rest?"
