-- Look. I want you to go say that exact thing to someone else. Go walk up to Estelle, and tell her, "Hey. I'm gonna go fuck up these graves in the middle of the night, because they simply hold the inert remains of mortals." Tell me how well that's gonna go. Picture the look on her face.
I already proposed checking the graves so that we are aware if and roughly when any further corpses go missing, and she did not seem terribly troubled by the concept.
Bullshit. In those exact words? You look her in the eye and you tell her the inert remains of mortals don't matter. Go look Lup in the eye and tell her that about Rupert. Or Diluc, about Kaeya.

Get off your high horse and learn a little bit of empathy. You sound a lot like that other version of you right now, and if that's something you want to avoid, I'd suggest you figure out what's wrong with this situation, and fast.
We have already had to disturb them for purely practical reasons, and I certainly did not hear anyone complaining then. If we wish to have some idea of what is happening with their bodies, we must look into it in some manner, however others feel about it.
It is already strange enough that they leave remnants of their flesh-- I've no intention to treat the memorials to their souls poorly, but if they are dead, their souls no longer reside there.
If I told you "that's treating the memorials to their souls poorly", would you tell me I'm wrong? You probably fucking would.
[ aquila's tone goes from irritated to something colder, like iron. ] Aren't you from some place where people don't even die? Of course it's strange to you. Maybe you should stop trying to explain to me why you think this is a good idea and just listen instead. You're the odd one out here, in case you haven't noticed, not the majority.
But you know what? It doesn't matter. Sure. Go on, mess up the graves. Face the consequences for it. It's not my problem.
I am listening to you, it is simply not at all obvious to someone who is not one of your kind why this would naturally have consequences! Or do you expect everyone to simply accept what you say and offer no explanation in turn?
[he did it once and it was fine, come on. there's irritation in his own tone, there.]
Perhaps consider going to the library and reading a book, Emet-Selch? It might help you get your head out of your ass, lest you swallow yourself up entirely.

Try and work with your friends, see if you can figure something out, yeah? Maybe it'll help you coordinate something.

[also estelle probably will not let him live until this happens one way or another.]
...I do not suppose there is aught you can say, while I am here, of the missing bodies?
no subject
[ a shrug. ] Surprised me, too.

[-he sighs.]
I suppose we shall have to keep an eye on them, difficult as that may be.
[sometimes
weird shit happens and you're like well SOMEONE has to exhume these graves on a weekly basis now]

[ aquila kicks their feet against the desk. ] Anything else?

[
forgetting vax means he has forgotten cemeteries' importance being explained i just realized this. lmao.]
They needn't know if it is disturbed by any of us, and we shall find out whether more of them go missing. I do not see a problem.

blow a raspberry. pbbbtbththt. ] Just try not to hurt yourself any worse in the process.

That's fucking stupid. Screwing with a place like that - you know that's going to have some kind of consequences, right?
