[ That... didn't really make her less worried. But something in Leslie's words sank in a bit deeper than they probably would have normally. Leslie was someone who tried hard. Very hard. Just at everything. It was impossible not to pick up on even if she didn't spend a lot of time with the girl. She wouldn't be doing this just based on whimsy, though, as she knew that much too. She wasn't prone to impulse, not normally anyways, and was pretty different from Akko in that sense...
And yet...
There was that spark. A spark she'd seen before, not just in Akko's eyes but other students. Something that sat in Ursula's mind... ]
Something happened. [ She didn't ask Leslie. She didn't need to. She knew. ]
[ She stiffens a bit as Ursula hits the nail right on the head. She’s ashamed and would rather just...leave it at that, but she feels like it’s not right to hide from things she’s ashamed of. There’s a few moments of struggling how to start, and then she speaks, her head still lowered. ]
I did something really stupid last month. I was outside the wall alone last month, before people stopped the Nuckelavee, and I got attacked. If people hadn’t found me in time to rescue me.... [ ...Maybe she’ll hold off from saying “I’d be super dead.” ] One of them nearly died. Because he had to protect me.
[ Now she looks up to meet Ursula’s eyes, her own a little watery. ]
I don’t want it to happen again. I won’t go outside the Bright Wall alone ever again, but that’s not the only place danger can be.
[ She knows of the Rathmores, even if no such incident has happened over her time in Aefenglom. ]
