Helena wrinkled her brow as Clay made his hasty excuse to leave. It wasn't like him to just leave if he thought something was boring - if anything, he would make sure it became a lot less boring in a very short amount of time if he got the chance. He had barely left the room when Jayce came through the large frame opening connecting the kitchen to the lounge. Oh, and that new deer-girl was with him. Helena hadn't had more of a quick glance at her once or twice during the time she had lived here. To be fair, it had only been a week or so, but none of the other residents had shied so much away from the others. Unusually shy, then. Helena decided to be on her best behavior. Normally, she would have played the ice queen and studied the Dryad from a distance before acquainting herself with her, but something told her that would be a very bad idea indeed in this case.<br/><br/>Getting up from the couch, she reached Jayce and Kala just as Drake finished his welcome. "Hello, Jayce, Kala. It's nice to see the two of you down here," she said, giving Kala a smile she hoped was warm and welcoming. She'd always been better at the mocking ones. "It's very nice to finally meet you," she added for good measure. With a quick glance through the doorway, Helena turned to Jayce with a more serious expression. "Do you think I should go check on Clay? If he's having a fit, I'm the least likely to be eaten in the process. Or would you rather do that yourself, as our caretaker?"
