It's when she's convinced the woman is well and truly gone that Helena breathes out and feels a knot of tension undo itself. With that, she tries to make herself let go of the bitterness that wants to rise to the surface with those words rattling in her skull. Grace doesn't understand. She can't understand. And to let her know...that would be a point of vulnerability Helena doesn't know if she can risk. She might choose to walk into the point of the harpoon of her own volition rather than speak those words.

And whatever tenuous association they had in the manor, it doesn't apply the same here. It means there are people that she'll unfortunately have to warn, to draw their own boundaries. If Grace hurt any of them...names unbidden flow in her mind. Wayne, Darcy, Erin, Max, Security...they can't be subject to that fear. They shouldn't, they can't. Weak as her body is, she can still be a shield, when it comes down to it.

The question is what the Naiad will do, now that she is unbound, a stranger in a strange land.
