Delano separated himself from Tempesta after a while. "Come on, we need to get his body out of here." he said. he moved past the others and walked back to the rubble. Delano used his paws to clear out the fallen rock. Eventually, he was able to remove Nyembe's body. He picked up the body and placed it on his back. Trying to ignore the fact that he was carrying a dead body, Delano walked to Marrone. "We need to bury him. Somewhere dry..." he said solemnly.
He left the others and walked over to the gathering den where he placed Nyembe's body down. Looking around, he saw that no one followed him in. He looked at Nyembe's body again. "I'm so sorry about this..." he said softly and slowly. "If only things could have... changed... if only," he felt tears form in his eyes, and he buried his face in Nyembe's mane. "Why did you have to go down like this?" He asked, "Why did you have to do this? What happened to the old Nyembe I knew once? Things can never be the same anymore, can they?" Of course, Nyembe wasn't able to answer him. Delano gave up peaking, and wept into Nyembe's fur as he grieved over the death.
