[She really is surprised that everyone is comfortable with the witches' deaths. She's also so very relieved.]

Perhaps. She's old enough that she won't forget, but if she's surrounded by people who love and support her, this won't hold her back. It will always be there, but with the right people around her, she should be able to recover.

[A wave of remorse rolls through her.]

In spite of all of that, she will always know someone took her birthright from her. There will always be a hole inside her where a Jewel should be. The other Blood will find her unsettling. She may fit better with landens, but they, too, will be uncomfortable in her presence.

Being a broken witch is not a pleasant thing.
