The dragon approached only slowly, wary of Lilly's displeasure and snapping teeth. The pup's aversion was painful to the dragon, and he wanted to respect her boundaries.

Seren stroked a hand over her companion's hard blue scales as she considered Sah's dilemma. "I have never met Mort," she admitted thoughtfully, "but everything I have heard leads me to believe him to be the kindest of the Old gods. His realm is a place of peace and rest. I think, though I can't swear on this, that if you want to spend your after days in the presence of those left behind... it will be so. One way or another. Perhaps your memories of them will be enough to guide them here. Maybe, as long as you remember them, they will never truly be gone." A bold hypothesis, when the topic concerned interdimensional travel and the exact nature of a soul - what were they, really? - yet Seren hoped for his sake that it was true.
"If nothing else... making a lantern for them so that you feel closer to them makes it very worthwhile, I think." Turning her head slightly, Seren leaned her cheek against his head. Her voice was a soft murmur, barely audible for anyone but Sah, to whom they were directed.
