[He followed easily enough, honestly needing the guide. He was in such an emotional fog right now and he was glad Spock didn't ask too many questions. As they approached the grave he squeezed Spock's hand progressively tighter. He had to fight back the urge to groan or yell.
He'd come unprepared with flowers and that didn't bother him, the grave clearly didn't need his help. He was this man's pseudo son. They had a distinct bond and... he felt guilty. He failed to protect him... he failed to uphold his ideals when he first got Enterprise. He had to be bailed out in order to get his ship back. Dammit he wasn't ready to lose Pike! He had so many questions. He had such a need... he finally had a father...
Jim took a shaky breath and looked away but to a keen eye it was obvious that his eyes were already full of tears.]
