[ Well. She doesn't see the harm in telling Harrow. It's easier to stay guarded in a place like this, but she has her limits. She mulls for a moment, organizing her feelings into words. ]
Even between the three of you, in that place— [ getting randomized with a trio of people who aren't trained to fight puts things into harsh perspective ] All of you are resourceful and clever, but there are times where that isn't enough.
[She's once again not really used to this - to the fact that Vira is worried over her. And Sheila, and Takeru, of course, but. She's used to seeing herself in a particular way. It's strange, to be perceived as vulnerable, although she knows it's an accurate assessment of her condition.]
Many of these execution methods are absurdly dangerous, and unbalanced. I've made plans for what to do if I'm ever dragged into one, but the space setting would be a complication.
[ She nods, because they do need to take this seriously. She knew Yuel was strong, and would never doubt her strength—but seeing her struggle at all was a wake-up call. ]
I've been trying to hold onto the boons I receive to defend myself on Thursdays and Sundays.
[ And out of her pocket she pulls out a certain rib bone, which she's grated down to a sharp point. ]
And I've held onto this as well—I hope you don't mind. [ she probably wanted it back after the cyoa, but. ]
[Oh! No, she's gotten more bones since then. If anything, she's pleased that Vira kept it.]
. . . If you use too much force, I'm afraid it's likely to shatter. Take care not leave behind shards.
[Somehow that doesn't seem enough, though.]
Should you ever find yourself awake on a Thursday night, in need of better defense - arm yourself with my sword. You will make better use of it than I could.

[Definitely not that. Vira strikes her a person who will do the things that are needed, even when those things require a person who is not soft.]
If it did trouble you, I wouldn't find that a soft opinion.

So yes, there are some of you that I worry for.

So, you are right. . . there is always a danger.

Thank you, though let us hope it doesn't come to that. I think I've made it plainly clear that I am not an easy target.
[ it's important here not to seem too vulnerable, not to everyone. ] I trust you have plans in store if anyone targets you as well.
