Helen nodded slowly as Briseis spoke. She offered a little smile when she was finished speaking. Not many people had ever given her the freedom to choose for herself. Not many people asked her what she wanted. Sure, it was different now but there were still people out there who thought they could control her. Briseis was not one of them. "Thank you," she said quietly, feeling torn now. She could do whatever she pleased, but she was so torn. Whatever there was between herself and Briseis, Helen was not willing to give it up. Maybe it was selfish because she refused to let anyone take away her best friend, but Helen deserved to have someone she could rely on, and so did Briseis.
