Nak nodded once to Fionn as he spoke, at his reference to the education of Lords, a sort of smirk appeared on her features - but she didn't elaborate on it. There was no sense in dredging up her past. Certainly this group had not been to her world. She was little more than a stranger on the tides of a Nightmare. 

That was - until Scarlett cheerfully interjected that she should then protect Nakreyya. The exchange between Scarlett and Elise made Nak chuckle softly, and she shook her head. 

"Little One, I am not the person who needs protecting, or defending. I can walk in shadow, and I will survive. Your guardian is correct to caution you. If you cannot defend yourself, you cannot defend others. If you try to leap to action where you have no understanding..." Nakreyya spoke with slow, deliberate words -- but had to pause for a moment, as emotion welled in her voice. She took in and released a breath, and when she spoke again, it was with her same lilting calm. "People die in those situations, and it is not often easy to live with the consequences of what has come. If you wish to be a defender, I recommend that you ask Elise to teach you to fight. Until then, guard your own safety as though you were guarding the safety of those you care for."
