Who: Vlad and Helena What: Returning to Bellum Where: Outside to start, then P3? When: The day after this, morning-ish Warnings: None
It would have been a lie to say that Vlad wasn't looking forward to seeing Helena again, despite the circumstances. He realized that having her stay with him wouldn't be easy, and he would have to tread carefully considering she'd left her husband and had to deal with Ella being attacked, but he had missed her. Besides, if there was some revenge-fueled psychopath on the prowl, he wanted her somewhere where he could protect her - and there was no safer place than in his own apartment.
He was outside the building early, not willing to take any chances with her safety, especially since Ella could have been attacked in the same place considering that she was on her way to Helena's hotel. Every passing taxi made him look up, but only one slowed to a stop in front of Bellum.
Vlad stepped forward, unable to keep from smiling once he saw Helena emerge from the taxi. "Hello, Helena."
