Helen thought she was alone, until she heard a feminine voice speak out in an unfamiliar tongue. She looked up in surprise, not having realized there was anyone near by. "Um, hello?" The words sounded more like a question than a statement coming from her, but she had not been certain the woman was addressing her, not knowing what the woman said. But as soon as the Spartan queen took notice of the other presence, something else became apparent as well.
This woman was like her. As sure as anything, she felt the familiar tingle, the extrasensory awareness that allowed one immortal to recognize another. She smiled, although held herself tensely, a little wary. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked, equally polite in tone.
