OOC:
There's a clarification I should probably do, there's bite marks in both the physical properties of the coin, as well as it's metaphysical essence, and the very context of it ever having been.

These are most likely from different sources.

"So, I wasn't an unwitting devourer of vital information after all. Both a disappointment and a relief. The former because it feels like a dead end then. Whoever the murderer is, they are covering their tracks carefully even as the murders are replete with some inscrutable symbolism..."

''If the victim's brains are fresh enough, I can extract information as I devour them'' they proposed ''That is a strategy they might not see coming''

"Perhaps. But I'd rather bury the victims. The carrier of the coin was cremated." She forced herself to not be a hypocrite. Was the Illithid really that different from her? "But if you happen onto the next victim before me, I of course can't stop you. Though there is a good chance that their brains were equally washed clean. Only the grin remained."

Illi stops reading to look up at L'Orr briefly. But she quickly shoves her nose back in the book. No need to be rude, Illiam!
