Helena smiled. "I seem to have been, yes." She looked decidedly uncomfortable by the assumed role. "It's more like it was assigned by siniority though. I've been here the longest. I was one my own until day three, when Rowan showed up." She could talk about that time of fear and desperate loneliness casually. Of course she could. There was no need to tremble or quaver in any way. She'd made it and survived to pass her meager knowledge on to Rowan. Rowan had added to what she knew and passed that on to the others. It was important, vital, that they all keep communicating and growing. However, she'd wrestled with groups of toddlers for years and she knew that it would all dissolve into tears and fights if there wasn't a leader to get everyone working in the same direction. Did she have what it took to be that person? She wasn't sure, as the crowd grew by the day. Maybe this military man did.
