[As opposed to his usual aggressively sounding network posts, today Grievous has an air of almost melancholy contemplation about him.]

When is it time to cease grieving for something that has been lost?

Continuing to always press on can lead to exhaustion.

Exhaustion in what way? You don't strike me as one to get exhausted. And even then, there are some who won't let exhaustion stop them.

[Qubine may fall under that latter category...]

Exhaustion of the mind.

Yet, no. I will not let even that stop me.

That is good to hear. I happen to be in a similar situation...

Oh? You have lost someone of importance?

Indeed...my sons. It's been said that there is no greater tragedy then when a parent must bury their own offspring. And they certainly weren't wrong...

Did this happen in a battle?

Yes...they were training in a cave, but they had not returned. I went to search for them, and I first discovered the body of the healer that had accompanied them, before finding them deeper in the cave.

To this day, I can't help but question why my sons had pressed on rather than retreating after losing their healer...

[He doesn't give an indication of sympathy, as such, but there is a tone of understanding there. As well as an edge of determination.]

Did you hunt down those who were responsible?

They were still there when I found the bodies. Needless to say, I gave them a brutal death, as they had for my sons.

That is justified.

[He did much the same, except he also went to the enemy's worlds and sought out every Huk he could, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake.]

Indeed...but it doesn't undo the mistakes we've made, or the losses that we've suffered...

That is true. The sorrow remains.

Although it is very easy to simply have more hatchlings...it just wouldn't be the same. Shayla and I...we just don't desire any more.

I do not know what has become of my children.

[He actually hasn't even thought of them for some time. Much of his attachments to family were severely muted by the manipulations to his brain. He was rebuilt for aggression and combat and little else that didn't relate to such. But some feelings and memories are gradually starting to return to him.]
