Helena Wells-Quinzel is H.G. Wells (indelibleink) wrote in makebelievelog,

"I had a feeling they would both appreciate knowledge." Helena had been learning things from Anakin in the way of electronics and robotics, and in that it was obvious he did enjoy learning when it interested him. The details of being a Jedi weren't completely known by Helena, though she was aware of some things about Anakin and his world. She had yet to actually watch the movies that were about his life, but she was getting a vivid picture of his world as it was.

When Claudia turned the topic to Myka's gift, Helena looked at the younger woman, arching a brow upon the mention that Steve had given her an idea. "I feel as though I should inquire about what, precisely, this idea is to ensure it won't result in your getting coal or getting killed." Brushing a hand through her hair, she did wonder just what was going through Claudia's mind on the matter. "I will be purchasing her birthday present today. I presume you can keep that a secret from her?" Helena gave Claudia a slightly pointed look. After all, Claudia had let the thing about takeout for Christmas dinner slip to her.

At the mention of Helena's younger self, she took a breath before responding. "Better than I was. It is still difficult given she is everything I no longer am. I am starting to think I should tell her about everything, but not until after the holidays. I would rather not destroy her worldview during this season. Not to mention it would make Christmas dinner very tense, to say the least." Helena did still have issues with her younger self being there, but that wasn't precisely the root of her current troubles. Perhaps the issue with her younger self played a little into her current troubles, adding to the fact she was still adjusting to that change and she knew she couldn't handle much more change. It was difficult to pinpoint the root of Helena's troubles, though it no doubt stood to reason that Helena not talking about things was the true root because she was just sitting on everything. Separately, the things that were bothering Helena she could have handled in stride, but together, everything was pulling at her and she didn't know where to start. Nor did she really know how to express that she missed the family and friends she'd left behind before she'd been Bronzed in a way that didn't make her current family think she didn't care about them.
