[ How do you protect yourself?

You need to learn to protect yourself.

She is still figuring it out. Vanessa has never escaped the dangers in her life, not for long, and everything she has managed thus far has been from hope and spite. She knows survival, only scarcely, but some want more to protect. ]


To survive, you may find yourself capable of things others could not dare fathom. Such things as many would not recover from. That is the only way I have been able to protect myself at times. There is brutality in that life that would not suit you, Robby. [ What would dear Joan have said? ] You must be true.

[ Again she'll move to his side, this time to follow, whether he leads her to a reprieve or to an opportunity. ]

Rather I would be the one to protect you, but there is still power for you in knowing. Ignorance is worse than injury. Whether or not the knowledge is something to use now or later is how you may consider what your role will become in this prison of misfits. That manner of wisdom I do think befits you.
