[ it's a kind of optimism that tinges a bit red - like natasha saying something so darkly pessimistic it rounds itself back into optimism. ]

I don't doubt it. Right now though, we've got mean biters of an enemy to look out for. You're sure you're okay?

[She considers the question for a long moment. No, she's not okay, but she doesn't know how to put it into words]

I don't like violence. [Is what she settles on at last] But a Queen has a duty to be calm for the people. I'm well-protected in the library. [She pauses again]

But a lot of people aren't as well-protected. It doesn't seem fair.

In my experience, Your Majesty, people who like it tend to be the kind of people you worry about.

I'm going out to help people get to safe places. If there's anything you know that I could use to help, I'm all ears.

[She considers for a moment] All I know is that the guests bite and you don't want them to bite you. My nephew Jacaerys might know more, as he's traveled our lands more than I.

But I'm afraid I don't know much. [She pauses and then adds] I volunteered to do mending. If any of your clothes get torn, I can fix them. I can potentially do stitches too, if it calls for it.

Every little thing helps in situations like these. Even small acts of kindness can save lives. Thank you.

If there's anything I can help with at all, please let me know.
