She's on our side, Vlad. I know you two don't see eye to eye. I'm not sure why, to be very honest. But she's been very supportive of you and I.
{She assumes it's merely a personality clash that sets the two of them apart, but she doesn't think it would hurt to remind Vlad that Ella has rooting for him for as long as Helena has known her.}
You know that I'm very private as well. But it was right after it all happened and I was concerned. We're fine now, and so there's no reason for her to know anymore. I would only tell her--I would keep her updated but nothing specific. That I've got this under control. That you and I are fine and are dealing with this, and that's it.
{She means everything she says, for she only told Ella as when she was confused these new developments. There is an underlying sigh, for it would have been nice to brag about this nice mental house she made, but the details of her conversations with Vlad would never be on the table for discussion. But if he doesn't want anyone to know then she won't tell another soul.}
