However, it was the Edge of Extinction returnee who the idol was given to, in this case Rick. Rick was the initial holder of both pieces, but was forced to hand over half of the idol to another person (granted we don't know why, but I speculate it was likely to prevent the EoE returnee from being immune at the first merge Tribal or pulling a fourth idol out from nowhere). If Rick and David had both individually found the pieces of the idol, I can understand being hesitant over the matter, however both pieces were intended to and initially given to Rick, not David.
