Stix in Witchshadow thinking about how her father was right, how she was too haughty, how she will heed all his future warnings and admit she'd been in the wrong... Stix in Witchlight doing none of this because it's her father. And even though she'd gone under the Raider King's banner and even though the conversation with Owl served as a final shedding of her perceived truth, she doesn't actually feel the need to justify herself. Not to him.
Of course she is miserable. Of course she blames herself for his injury. But all she says is, I will carry you as you have carried me. And she does. That's all that really matters — not the glory nor the blame.
