Willa had opened her eyes to look up at John as he spoke. As he finishes, she closes them again, unconsciously breathing in slow and letting it all out in a long rush that takes most of her tension with it. The odds are better than decent that she's going to fall asleep on them at some point. But at this moment it's a relief to feel truly safe. Safe enough that Arthur nudging at her with his big feline face makes her smile. She reaches out with one hand to find his head and start scritching him behind one massive ear.

"I think it's a good thing I had-- have-- John Gaius's healing magic on me. If Arthur and Dennis hadn't been there..." Yeah she's not going to finish that thought. Willa frowns. "I want to learn more magic. I know a few things, mostly things Zerxus taught me, but I want to know more. And get better at it. So I don't panic when I'm in trouble, so I think of the spells I have first."

She snuggles in a little more securely. "Also I want to turn into animals."
