He nodded.  "You are correct.  I wanted to make sure there... there weren't any more cases of such monstrosity here before we even thought about removing items to give back to families."  He shook his head, staring sadly down at the severed one next to him.  "Such a shame.  A life cut short in such a manner..."  He shook his head again, and his eyes flickered back to silver-grey.  "If you would hold onto the earrings.  We should try to find the family of this one, but if not, I see no reason not to use the earrings for our own purposes, whether it be to sell or barter them away, or use them, if they have any hidden abilities."  He sighed, and dug into the sack again, cringing as he expected to come up with more of such grossness.
