(Um, yeah, pretty sure. Nobody else had a funeral. We should do this more often. It gives their death more impact.)
Eldrin stepped back, further into the shadows. He had nothing to say, and would rather he were not asked to. He missed Argoth of course, but he didn't care for memories. They were convenient for remembering important information. But to dwell on them... That was pointless. They would get you nowhere. Still though, he would indulge just this once. He would listen to their words and remember his friend.

Iona never quite knew Argoth, but she knew enough to honor him as a valueable companion and a rarity among this generation as a fighter and a person. She wanted to have known this man better. Under the cover the the dim shadows, she swallowed, knowing she couldn't bear to speak should the responsibility fell on her and she lowered his head, sighing just as sadly as before. She wished his soul, his consciousness, whatever went on after your body went cold, a safe departure and a restful place.

The corner of Max's mouth rose a little as he saw Torak and Azrael enter the room. He knew from experience that Azrael might be able to help him talk to Argoth one last time. The young assassin quickly walked over to the desert monk and looked up at him. "Uhm, Azrael, do you think you could let me talk to Argoth one last time, I know you can do it. That's what you're here to do right? Help him pass over. Well, before he goes, can we speak to him?" Max asked, a slight hint of pleading in his voice.

"I can only bring the spirit over to speak if it wishes to...but...knowing Argoth in such a short time. I believe he would love to speak to you one last time." Azrael said, patting Maximus on the head before moving to Argoth's corpse.
He reached into his pouch and pulled out four candles and placed them in the holders that surrounded Argoth's corpse and he lit them with some flint, he returned to the fallen Assassin and his hands hovered over Argoth as he started to chant in the Language of the Dead (a DEAD language...get it..HAHAHAHAHA)

Lien took a small step back as he watched Azrael chating to bring back Argoth's spirit from the dead. He watched in a mixture of awe since he has never a spirit summon before, but in fear as well, not knowing what to expect of the spirit of Argoth appearing out of nowhere.

A small fog suddenly began to billow out from seemingly nowhere and Arogth's image suddenly faded into view. The apparition looked at himself and sighed, "Dammit, I'm see through, the he smiled and looked up at everyone around him, "Hi everyone." Max was in tears at this point, seeing his old master again made his heart leap out of his chest. He took a step forward and said, "Hey Argoth.." max sniffed and wiped his nose and eyes with his hand.
The ghost of Argoth smiled and looked down at his old apprentice, "Hey kid. Wow..I can't believe all you guys showed up," he said half jokingly.

(Cue the necrophobia! ) Eldrin tried to step back further, but realized he was already standing against the wall. He slid down the wall and into a sitting position. His legs were shaking too bad for him to continue standing. He was starting to sweat, which was odd because this place was cold as an underground tomb should be. Not to mention he was immune to heat in the first place. He tried not to look at Argoth. Death, spirits... It was all too much for him. He covered his head with his arms and curled into a ball. He was glad the darkness concealed him, as he couldn't bear for the others to see him like this.

(it's ironic that Eldrin is a necrophobic and yet his cousin deals with spirits and death all of the time...)

Lien just watched stunned at the apparation of Argoth standing before him, then stammered a bit before he could say something. "Argoth. . . I. . . W-well. . I wasn't actually expecting to see your . . . well. . "

"Apparently this is first most of you have seen a ghost." Azrael said, standing up and bowing to Argoth as a sign of respect.
"I always thought it would be me that passed through there first instead of you, old friend." Torak said, removing his hood as a sign of respect to his fallen friend, brother and ally,

"When we kill Syrus, I'll stab him twice. Once to finish the job, and again to honor a friend. I'll deliver him to hell on a spear, and throw him at your feet so may spit on him from the afterlife. Also, it's time that Max knew about our technique." Blade said to Argoth's ghost.

"Y-Yes. . . . forgive me, but I really do not. . . well handle something. . . like this easily. . . " Lien murmured, looking down at the ground.

Iona's jaw dropped and she nearly tripped over Eldrin in her haste to see the ghost, grabbing Azrael by his arm and moving him over. Her nose was pointed directly at the ghost and she sniffed audibly several times. Then she prompted to licking the top of a finger and holding it up to the air near Argoth's spirit. With another sniff, she got her confirmation. "Seiji lied...ghosts don't smell like oranges. You smell like cold," Iona told Argoth critically, moving Azrael back in front of her. Spirits she could handle; it was the empty husk of flesh that people mourned over, also known as corpses, that freaked her out the most. "I'm sorry you're not alive. I'm Iona Solas, and I'm not sure we've met, now's better than never, I guess," Iona said, restraining herself the urge to stick out her hand to shake with Argoth's spirit.

Azrael held back the urge to tell Iona that sometimes spirits may give off the scent of a thing they loved most in life, if Seiji met a spirit that smelled of oranges...then that spirit must have loved oranges in it's life.
"I hope you are finding the afterlife to suit your needs, Assassin." Azrael said to Argoth.

Argoth looked around at everyone as they tried to take him in. Even though he was a ghost, he could still feel emotions just as if he was alive. He felt bad for his comrades having to see him like this, and he wished that things could be different. "Blade, Torak, I would ask one of you to please continue Max's training. Take over for me. Giude him as I would have," after speaking to them he knelt down and looked at his apprentice. "Max, I know this is hard for you, but don't worry kid. You're in good hands now. Heh, if I could hug you I would. Unfortunately I'd just pass through you. You're gonna grow up to be real strong one day kid, and I guaruntee you'll be better than even Torak one day. Just keep at it." Max wiped several tears away and nodded at his dead mentor, "Okay..you got it boss," "As for the rest of you, thank you for coming here. I'm sorry I died on you guys, it seemed like the only way to save the Max. As for Syrus, take care of that bastard for me okay?" He then turned to Azrael, "Is there a certain amount of time I am allowed to be here?" he asked.
