There certainly had been a couple occasions where Helena truly wondered about Myka when she'd been here before. Even if the using Christina against her had been some manifestation of resentment the younger woman still harbored against her for her betrayal, Myka still wouldn't be that vindictive. Or at least she shouldn't be. Myka was far more sensitive than that.

Helena knew Myka didn't remember being here before, so she was conflicted by holding this against her. But the fact of the matter was that it had happened. The Victorian woman was notorious for holding grudges, but she didn't want to hold one against Myka any longer. She wanted to forgive Myka despite the fact she probably would never get an answer as to why Myka had said that. But when Myka apologized, this time it did sound sincere whereas when she'd apologized before, the apology itself was buried within a mostly unrelated statement. The first apology hadn't seemed as sincere as it did now. So Helena did take comfort in that. Drawing in a deep breath, she let it out, and with it she let go of the residual anger and pain she held from that experience. And it was a release that Myka could see. Helena's posture relaxed a bit.

"Thank you," she responded. And she believed Myka when she made that promise. At least Helena didn't have to hold onto this any longer. "All I could possibly think of is that you had some residual resentment towards me for my betraying you, but I don't think you would actually use Christina against me even if you were angry. Or I should say I didn't think you would until that particular argument. But I accept your apology, and I believe you. You had apologized for that, but it did not sound sincere, so I hadn't completely accepted it. But I do now."
