[Private to Helena]

So. [Guess who has your file. And read the whole thing. And is wondering how he managed to wind up wardening someone who's basically another brainwashed assassin.] You still wanna be called Sarah, or are we going with Helena now?

[Maybe. There's a lot he probably doesn't - not yet, anyway - but he does understand what it's like to have someone you'd do the unthinkable for.]

What's Sarah like?

[The question doesn't surprise her. Looking at her hands, she thinks for a moment. Sarah. Her mirror, the person she could have been had it not been for their birth mother, the nuns, Tomas. Her true twin, the sister she had never had but her heart always yearned for.]

We are connected. She is family. [It doesn't quite answer his question.] We should have been together from birth.

Yeah, but what's she like? [He's not trying to be dismissive or anything, not really. You just also didn't really answer the question.] What does she do, what do you guys talk about?

[Her eyes flick back up to him, a flatness in her expression.]

We talk about a lot of things. Motherhood, God. The other sheep the scientists made. Where we came from.

[None of this is a lie, but it's not the whole story either.]

[The flatness isn't exactly encouraging, but he's still curious, and he's still stubborn and maybe sort of an idiot, so. Have more casual conversation lobbed at you, Helena.]

Did it help?

Help what?

[imfollowinghim]

You. To have someone to talk to, who, you know. Gets it.

Doesn't that always help?

[And with that, she's going to start moving to the door, walking the side of the room she didn't before, trailing fingers along the wall as she goes, not looking back at him as she says:] We will speak later, serzhant, yes?

[imfollowinghim]

[He doesn't move, and he doesn't try to stop her either. They kind of did what they needed to do for now, right?]

Yeah. You ever need anything, let me know, alright? And we'll get working on ways to get you out of here.

Until later, then.

[She raises a hand with a glance and a nod back over her shoulder as she opens the door and slips out without further ado.]
