[Dark magic-- words she really doesn't want to hear. And she's not exactly clear on what being a Hero of Light entails, never having obtained a clear explanation of the game sessions in any detail. The explanation isn't helping her wariness.]

A magical bodyguard seems a little drastic. I'm not used to doing things against someone that hasn't done anything yet-- not here, anyway. Going on the attack has not really, um, historically worked out for me. But I don't want him to get hurt if I could've done something, either.
