Thae only nodded, clasping her hands behind her back and tilting her head towards the door. Moments later she was walking outside, silently leading the equally silent Onuris to the Durem Cemetery. "Zasalamel comes here often...perhaps one day your two paths will cross." She explained while leading him through the plots. She moved expertly until she found the one she was looking for, the one she knew well. It wasn't every day you practically had a tombstone. Yes, someone else's name and dates were on there, but it was essentially hers as well.
There was no coffin or urn; it was a monument in the section for cremations, but it was empty. Just a simple marker that read 'Neveah Surugata' with a decor of simple outlined butterflies as a corner border. There were fresh flowers on it and it seemed to be very, very well taken care of.
She stayed quiet for now, just stepping back to let him have his moment for the woman he lost.

He nodded at Thae's words and took a moment to kneel at the monument. He was just giving himself a moment and taking in the fact that she was gone. That this wasn't some sort of sick hoax on the part of this woman, not that he thought so beforehand but he seemed to have trouble comprehending it truly until just now. Unlike when he verbally heard the news, however, he did not cry. Onuris started at the marker and reached over to trail his fingertips over the lettering as if touching it would make it more real.
After a few moments his hand fell away and he stood facing toward Thae and he smiled. It was a sad smile but a smile none the less. He quietly moved toward her and offered her a hug, "If you need anything call on me. I'll be your friend always," he promised quietly.
"I should get home now before my family worries.."

Thae had been about to say something...how Death wasn't the end, but actually the potential to start something new...but Onuris had hugged her. In a brief moment of surprise, all of her words were lost, and then she returned his hug, patting his back in a comforting manner.
"Thank you, Onuris...You will always have a friend in me as well." She returned his promise, patting his back once more before letting him go, trailing her hands down his arms to briefly grasp his hands.
"Yes, your Family needs you I'm sure. Please, contact me when you know about your next show!" Smiling, she let his hands go, stepping back to let him leave first. Once he was gone, she turned and left herself, heading back to that empty home.

He smiled as she grasped his hand and briefly squeezed them with a small nod, "Good, hate for it to be a one-sided friendship," he laughed lightly as he released her hands when she released his. He nodded, "As soon as one comes up you will be the first to know," he promised again as he raised up a hand and then turned to leave.
This is what Neveah would have wanted, right? Either way he didn't plan to back peddle out of the friendship with Thae. It would be cruel to do so to someone who seemed like she could use a friend.
Onuris left the cemetery and then walked home where Nell, Metis, and Arianna were waiting for him.
