It had only been a couple of days since the death of Nuclayus. Or, as Nico had taken to referring to it, a few days since he failed to save Nuclayus.
Even if he couldn't save the small dragon, he still felt like he owed the body and spirit of Nuc a formal burial. He didn't know Nuclayus well, but he distinctly remembered him stating at the Meet and Greet that he loved oranges. It seemed like a strange thing to state at the time, but Nico was glad to do something to honor Nuc's loves in life.
And so he sat by the bank of the river, putting the final clump of dirt on the orange sapling, that he had just so happened to plant on top of Nuc's body. Come spring, there would be a fully grown tree. This was a tradition within Nico's family, and since Nuc didn't leave any burial instructions, Nico defaulted back to the tradition. What better tree to honor Nuclayus than an orange tree?
"Hello?" Nico called, forcing down a nervous stutter. There was already a small crowd of gathering NPC's, so he swallowed thickly and looked through them for a familiar face. "The s-service will begin s-soon..."
