[ Leslie began to think about how to explain about why she came to the conclusion that it was like a sport, but then the question changes. She blinks, looking surprised. ]
Isn’t it more dangerous to not know how to fight? Miss Corrin and General Eisner have been teaching me how to use a sword to defend myself, but if I don’t have a weapon, or I were attacked by something different than I expect, I don’t think I could save myself.
[ She looks down, apparently embarrassed to admit that she doesn’t feel confident in being able to use her lessons well enough to, say, defeat a Nuckelavee in single combat. (As if that were the point of her lessons at this early stage.)
This should be expected, even with such great teachers. When she started less than half a year ago, she had to start from the very basics, because, while she eats well and walks around the Haven every day here, it’s still been less than half a year since she was malnourished to the point of stunting her growth and had an almost complete lack of exercise in her daily life.
It’s taken her this time to just go from being so thin that she looks like she’d snap like a twig to, at best, average for a child. Even just looking at her, it’s clear that she’s got a long road ahead of her in physical combat. ]
