Of course, there was a certain group of people she'd always lump together in one method of thought, and those would be murderers. But who could blame her when her own daughter had been murdered? And Helena had been there during the event, allbeit in another's body, but still. Helena would always feel herself justified for that hate, and over a century on from the act, she still nurtured that burning hatred within her heart. However, it didn't always detract from the pain that still left her wanting for someone to take it away. She had to learn once again how to live in a world that wasn't her own, but at least Claudia was here, and she was forming quite the basis of a relationship with Miss Adler. Helena believed herself to be doing well thus far.
Oh that look in Irene's eyes was delightful. More than delightful, really. Helena felt anticipation grip her. It had been a little while since she'd experienced something as enticing as this. Myka had always captured her attention from the first time she'd laid eyes on the woman, but Myka wasn't here now, and she couldn't hope that the woman would end up here. Besides, Miss Adler was a very beautiful and increasingly intriguing woman and Helena simply must know more. "It is, isn't it? In my experience, the men I've been involved with usually turn against me in the end. Very tiresome really. But women...they always intrigue me and no matter how well I may come to know one, there is always some new mystery about them to uncover." Her smile took on a more flirtatious tone, keeping her dark eyes locked with Irene's. Just as Irene wasn't going to pass on the opportunity, neither was Helena. She had every intention of seeing where this would lead. She picked up her tea and took a sip, sliding the tip of her tongue along her lips once she was finished.
Taking another bite of her cake, Helena nodded in agreement. "It is a taste of home, though I have not properly been home in over a century." Upon hearing Irene lived elsewhere, Helena tilted her head slightly. "You have your own house? Oh that's marvelous. I have a flat in the complex. It is home enough for me, for now. I did not exactly have a home to speak of before arriving here." Mostly as she'd been a hologram up until shortly before arriving here. "Though I can understand the stifling nature, there are rather a lot of people living there. And the rooms are not overly large or spacious." Though Helena had taken one of the larger rooms. God knew it would only be a matter of time before her room was a mess of papers and scraps and inventions.
