A question of safety
This Winter has been a harsh one, and the Nexus' resident rogue shows signs of it. Where before Amelia had been comfortable enough to walk about the Nexus with relatively few weapons on her person, she now carries her full armory every time she steps out of the inn she currently calls home. For weeks she's been pondering how to tackle a problem on her own. Now she's come to the Forum to seek advice, as anyone who's been here long enough usually does.
"I've had many thoughts and worries relating to the safety of myself and others after certain events in the last several weeks." Her lips draw into a thin line and she crosses her arm in front of her chest. That's enough context for everyone who might answer, surely. "What do you do to feel safe? Or, rather, when your safety is threatened, how do you respond?"

"Then rest assured that the beasts that are willing to do anything to survive are the most dangerous."
no subject
"That I already knew. Cornered prey of any variety reacts that way."

"Then apply your knowledge."

"I'm not suggesting that I will fall so far into the role of guardian as to lose sight of my own well-being. What I am saying is that sometimes the best things in life our outside of ourselves. A man can be an island, but if he shares it with someone, he will be far less bored and twice as well armed if the worst should happen."
Sorry for the delay
It's quite all right. =]
