Barrock sighed. 

[color=265828]"Who says I have."[/color] He growled, the words almost jumbled up together. 

Deep within, he still mourned Zora's loss. The woman who he barely knew, but left such a deep impression on him, and whose death he still wondered if he could have done something better. 

[color=265828]"Don't mistaken my silence for a lack of grief."[/color] He said, as he thought further of what to say. 

One thing orcs were more used to than other species were losing people. He had lost families in the past, many of them, and Zora would just be one more to the statistics. And especially for Barrock, he had a special stoic attitude to him. He mourned Zora's lost, he wanted to take his time to think, but often you had to grit your teeth and move forward with the grief, because others rely on you. It's a cold world out there.

He gritted his teeth before going on. [color=265828]"I try not to think of it, grieve when able, in my own way. Just not at the moment. We have a mission to accomplish."[/color]

It's best she followed him too. Barrock wouldn't be direct, but he tried switching the topic.

[color=265828]"Now, do you know what we need to do once we get to the magistrate?"[/color] He asked. They had briefed this a bit yesterday before she went on her sad bout again. They need to draw as little attention as possible, ask as few questions as possible, and act natural. More importantly, do not act flustered. The dark elves were already naturally wary of both orcs and light elves.
