Helena had a retort, but she wasn't so certain it was the proper time to say it. While the nature of this place was volatile at best, the fact that people came and went wasn't so different than their own world. Things could always change in the blink of an eye. One moment, they would all be there, the next a couple might be missing. So instead of taking that particular approach at this moment, Helena went for a different one. "Silly or not, it does not change the fact that we are here, darling." Which was more the point Helena wished to express to Claudia the most.
When Myka rested her head back on her shoulder, Helena tightened her arm around her, giving her more sense of comfort. She knew Myka wasn't taking this news well either, so what she said to Claudia she also said for Myka's benefit. Though as both Claudia and Myka took off on the Mrs. Frederic track, Helena arched an eyebrow.
"While I may be able to manage the beehive hairstyle, I am not short enough to properly pull off her presence." There was something to be said about Mrs. Frederic in that respect. She did have quite the presence that Helena could only hope to replicate some small part of. Though she was certain she could only actually replicate the suddenly appearing part.
