[Hey she'd take that lover's embrace too if she actually had one. Probably for the best that she doesn't though.
Whatever she was expecting certainly wasn't that. So she's also learning a bit more about others today too. She's certainly glad Monika came prepared, but what to do with this? It's not that she wouldn't know what to do with it (and honestly, while not her style, probably not the first time she would've done something along those lines with one), it's just that if she were to react honestly...she'd probably start laughing.
It's ridiculous, handing someone like her a knife and having others concerned about her safety. They can't help it of course, and she hasn't done a lot to help them understand, but it's just...funny. But she won't do that, she's done an okay job suppressing her true feelings here, so she can bury that impulse down deep too.]
Thank you, the gesture is appreciated, and I think I understand the sentiment behind it.
[She'll turn the knife around offering it back handle first to Monika, an appreciative look on her face, even if she is in fact, rejecting it.]
But I think I would be more comfortable with you keeping this. I might not look like it, especially not right now, but I'm quite capable of defending myself without such a thing.
[That might be up for debate given her current state, but Kiara also thinks that given that her regained power couldn't stop her from being taken, she doesn't think a knife would've helped much either.]
honestly all I can think of is "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!" from Zelda
