If only Helen were simply asking for money, this conversation would be so much easier. While Helen still possessed some aspects that could be considered narcissistic she knew the value of friendship. Honor had once been the single most important thing in her life. She had lost that long ago, and now she just wanted to earn it back. Her fight was never meant to be a simple one. Even though she wished she could switch places with just about anyone else, it was still her fight and Helen was meant to put her all into it. It was just a shame it took centuries for her to figure it out.
Before the door opened Helen could sense Briseis' presence getting closer. She took in a slow, steady breath. She expected resistance, but Helen knew no matter what she would have to stand her ground. She couldn't let anyone change her mind on this.
Helen offered a little smile and shrugged, "What can I say? I'm the epitome of chill."
She looked very serious suddenly and took Briseis' hand, "Sit next to me, please?" Helen didn't have many friends, not like when she was a child. She had been alienated all because of one selfish act. An act she had unwillingly played a role in. In doing so, she had turned so many lives upside-down. Including Briseis'.
