Shioki looks at the reptilian creatures and pulls out a pencil and paper and starts drawing them.  He then pipes up, "I can search!  I'm quite good at finding things that have been lost.  But, what exactly is a proper burial for one of these things?  Perhaps it is being thrown in the sea or perhaps it is being placed on a pyre.  Perhaps it is being left wherever they fell.  Besides, if they are dead, they are not truly here.  It matters not what we do with the shells."
