[And all of those things will come in due time, because it's what has to happen. They can't leave this body here, nor can they leave the ones on the sidewalk just outside of the park gates. Well, they could, but neither of them lack enough of a conscience to. Basil is already prepared to do the emotional heavy lifting on that front if he has to, because he doesn't want to push Max any harder than need be. It's already been so much for her, this evening.
Though, Basil cannot deny the temptation to just run home from it all. Someone would find these bodies eventually, and nobody would ever know who did it, nor are there systems in place to find out. Finding a half-eaten corpse isn't really a crime that can be prosecuted in Ryslig. If it were, every monster would be in prison for life.
But...he isn't going to do that. They'll take this one step at a time.]
It's okay. T...the instincts are hard.
[He wants Max to know that. He understands how she feels. He's been there.]
We...we'll take care of him first. ["Him" being this body here in the park. They need to bring it back to the Palazzo.] Then we'll...get the others.
