[ annoyed looks she can handle. she has her own in spades, but she's not annoyed or defensive at kitty's reaction. her eyes narrow some, but it's only out of understanding where the anger comes from. elena remembers. what little kitty's told her about her world, she remembers hearing it was nothing good. that there were losses; that it was all one big loss. she can't and wouldn't claim to understand that... but elena knows she's not telling kitty anything new, anything revolutionary - but she's telling her something true.
and so is kitty. ]
