[Vira. . . her mouth opens in surprise, as she's taken aback somewhat by the bluntness. Not that offer of violence, but rather -
She has not once viewed this as a problem she needs to be protected from, rather than one she intends to protect others from. She may be frail here, and prone to fainting spells, and without most of her abilities, but her conception of herself is still of the genius - the rare necromancer dangerous even without a sword by her side, a girl who does it all herself.
It's not that she hates the idea of being defended, it's that she hates the idea that there would ever be any aspect of a danger outside her control, dangerous to someone else before the danger met her.]
. . . That is generous. But I would not see you come to harm on my behalf.
