Turtle & Canary [14.10]

Jan was moping around the store while Apu rolled his eyes at him.

He hadn't even been sure he should come in after Sunday, but it was his job until someone told him otherwise, so here he was.

On time. Absolutely, indisputably, and unquestionably on time. Really.

Jan had just given Turtle the wonderful, magical image of Grace getting her toes crushed by a unicorn. Jan could have a raise if he asked for it.

"Of course."

"Dor said people died." His voice was very small for something as big as he was, and he pressed his nose into Turtle's hands. "Will there be a ceremony for them? To sing them away?" He didn't know if humans even had any sort of rite for the dead. He also didn't know that those who'd died hadn't stayed dead.

Turtle frowned; it deepened the more she considered this. "Actually died?" she asked. "Did Dor mention who?"

His flicked his ears, uncertain. "He simply said that there were many deaths on Sunday."

Turtle's frown deepened. "I can't think," she said, "that there would have been so many and no one's really mentioned it. But, if there is, then, absolutely, something should be done for them. We had a memorial service for Bart when the plague took him..."

"That is something," he said, and sighed. "And perhaps Dor was wrong." His tone was hopeful, and he stepped forward carefully, intending to fold his neck over Turtle's shoulder in a unicorn hug.

Turtle easily met Jan's unicorn hug with a human hug, arms going softly around his neck. "I'll find out," she said, "and if it turns out to not just be something weird that happened this weekend, we'll do something in memorandum for the deceased."
