I have grieved. I did that at his grave, when there was no one else to do it. Whatever I am doing now it isn't mourning - I have a task to complete, and that's my focus.
[ She is definitely grieving, and still in mourning, but she refuses to accept it; she carries the weight of his broken sword on her back and won't be done with it until she can admit to his family, to his home, that she had failed him. That she was his student and she had done nothing to keep him safe.
Scoffing, she wishes she could throw the crystal halfway across the room without fearing it breaking. ]
I don't know where his grave is anymore. [ Only half a lie, really. She knows the place, the road, but there was no mark, exhaustion bearing her to forgetfulness. ] I'm going to find a way to protect people. That's what he would want.
