I came from a realm of darkness. My people weren't able to withstand the light. That I can is temporary at best and not without considerable discomfort.

[That is to say, direct exposure to light damn near killed her. It's an experience she's not keen to relive. And perhaps, to some degree, she is a touch traumatised by it, though she would never say so. The Light Spirits, of course, gave unto her a gift, that ability to endure the light she so coveted and longed for, but again, it is all a temporary thing.]

I wouldn't much care to see myself directly exposed to it or what effects that might have on me.

[Although that she's so willing to be honest about this must be saying a lot for her current condition.]
