Dean could heal people? Huh. Not that she knew who Dean was. She would take his word for it though.
Yes she could definitely take care of herself. She could easily take down grown men if they started something. Well grown men that maybe didn't have super powers or weren't angels and things like that. Regular people though? Yeah. It didn't look like she was strong, but she was. She didn't want to be possessed by a demon. The people at home already thought she was, though as far as she knew she was herself. If Cas didn't think she was possessed, then likely she wasn't. If she had to try to take a demon out, likely she would die trying at the very least.
Helena pursed her lips in thought. Well. Being touched on the forehead wouldn't be so bad. Especially if that was all it was. And it was instantaneous. Who could say that they got to travel with an angel? Not many. She was quiet for a moment, contemplating all of this. Bending her knees, that part she could do. The fact that she wouldn't feel it was definitely a plus. The good parts outweighed the bad. That was enough for her.
"I do not care if it hurts. I.. do not like to be touched." She paused and frowned slightly. "Not unless I am warned first. But you warn me. So I know it is only small touch. So I do not mind. You may touch me." It was nice of him to actually tell her, and not just do it without asking. That would have made problems. Like her lashing out and freaking out and a bunch of other stuff.
She hadn't known that he could show her that he could fly by taking her with him. When he spoke about that stuff that she didn't understand, she assumed that it was technical that meant yes he could but likely couldn't do it without hurting her. Like showing his wings or something. She wouldn't have thought it was pride. She just thought it was convenience. And if he had just wanted to show her, she would have smiled and said that was nice. Still as long as there was minimal touching. Or touching when she initiated it.
