Salad was literally at the verge of gagging, but like before, he surprisingly managed to control it. As Marjory began to dump dirt into the hole she looked up at Salad. His face was a bit pale and his body was in an uncomfortable position. "Hey are you okay?" She asked in a sweet concerned tone.

"Hm? Ye-yes! J-just thinking" He proclaimed, giving her the best smile he could manage.

"That's good," Marjory returned the smile. "I don't want you dying on me too." She couldn't help but manage a laugh.

Salad on the other hand looked mortified. His face resembled that of a child who had just been told Santa wasn't real.
When Marjory finished up with the grave she sighed, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Well, we should get going, there's no telling when that mutant will be back."

"Y-yes, w-w-we must." His voice sounded unsure.

Marjory nodded and looked back at the trail that was followed by Jeremy and Joyce. "Let's just hope we catch up with them in time."

And so they were off.
