tw talk of body disposal/decomposition

Oh that would be SUPER interesting. I could definitely toss up a starter for that. Krennic would be in the same camp - he is a pragmatist and doesn't experience any kind of empathy or compassion for other people, so he'd find it laughable. I think he can experience disgust but not disgust that comes from a sympathetic response - so like body horror doesn't elicit a reaction, but I think he still experiences like, distaste at the thought of things like rot and decomposition, which is where his mind would immediately go with whole-body burial - that could potentially be the catalyst for them to realize that they come from societies with similar burial practices? Bc once the forest talker is gone I think he'd be very scoffing, very eyeroll, like "why would you WANT to put a whole body of anyone you cared about in the ground to just slowly rot".

Idr if I already mentioned this but it's also an interesting sticking point for some rare emotions on Orson's partβ€”he's working through some feelings about the fact that his best friend/unrequited love interest's body was left out to presumably decompose and not even buried - and the lack of a culturally typical funerary event is sort of keeping him from getting closure and processing that Galen is really truly dead by watching him burn down to nonexistence. He got a lock of hair he kind of unconsciously knows he SHOULD burn to get that closure, but he's presently stricken with the very human urge to not let go, so currently at an impasse - all of which will likely factor into this interaction for sure.
