[ perhaps surprisingly, the outdoors don't seem to bother alyssa much. she's done her share of field research, after all! ]
In all honesty, I think it's a legitimate thing to consider. It's a perfectly viable way of defending yourself, and there's no shortage of dangerous stuff out here...
[ here she glances over at hishi, who's distracted collecting plants but never hears them discuss stuff anyway thanks to mod magic, but. even so, alyssa purposely lowers her voice so that only hilda can hear her mutter, ]
... Take her parents, for example. Her real ones. Who knows what they ran into at the ruins...
She doesn't really seem like the type to fight... but she's a smart girl, and you don't necessarily need to win a fight if you can get rid of the threat beforehand.
[ ...now that she's on this tangent, something seems to have popped into her head. ]
Consider it this way—we've both taught her useful things, right? So... she can use the techniques she's learned from your crafting to make traps, then lace them with poison. Just like making jewelry and chemistry experiments.

[ just hit things with sharp objects? if they threaten you? ]
—I guess that might not suit her, though. And I do want to make sure she can stay safe.

[ actually she sounds a lot like claude right now but after last trial she will. keep that to herself. but she just sighs and nods. ]
All right then, I'm sure she'll find a way to help people no matter what route she goes. [ poison and medicine kind of go hand in hand anyway. ]
