{When he neared it sounded like someone walking across creaky boards on her porch. She waited to see if he could force his way in, and at his push she saw her walls bend slightly but they didn't break or give. She doubted they would hold if he truly tried to enter without her permission but she was glad that they maintained some sort of resistance.}

{She moved toward where she felt his push, a doorway appearing for her as she came close. She could feel Mina's disapproval but she waved her away, pointing to a far end of the house. Whether she banished her or she moved away of her own accord Helena wasn't sure but she heard the distant sound of a door closing.}

{This time she waited for him, leaning on the doorway with the light behind her so he could find his way. She was a bit startled when she saw the form of a fortress and there was curiosity stirring the air around her, but she didn't move any closer. Her hand was outstretched, waiting for him, just in case he wished to join her inside.}
