[ Helen is standing in a ruined part of the Sanctuary as she turns on the feed. The chapel and opposite wing of the building have taken heavy damage. Some of it has been completely brought down, but Snape's wards protected the heart of the building. ]If there is anyone who wants or needs medical assistance, I am more than willing to help. I'm

Action

[Tesla approaches from the general direction of the library, and ends up beside her with his hands clasped in a slightly thoughtful manner.]

Helen.

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen stands, dusting her hands off as she turns to look at Nikola. She smiles for him. ]

I see you've managed to remain unharmed. That's good news.

[martyrtoscience]

It was touch and go for a bit.

[Well, not really.]

How was your adventure?

[notanemptymotto]

[ There's a small laugh that comes from her. One that is exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Even at her age, Helen knows she can let her walls down a little around him. Even if there are times she wants to strangle Nikola. ]

Considering the circumstances, it fared alright... we lost a few. [ Her expression falls. ] Will is missing.

[martyrtoscience]

[Damn it, Will.]

He'll show up in a day or two whining about lost paperwork.

[notanemptymotto]

He should have already contacted us. I lost contact with him just as this whole mess started. Henry hadn't heard from him either.

[martyrtoscience]

He really should know better by now.

[So unimpressed. That doesn't mean he isn't going to see what he can dig up.]

[notanemptymotto]

You should know better on plenty of things as well.

[ Pointed Helen look. ]

[martyrtoscience]

[Ignoring.]

How long will it take to rebuild?

[notanemptymotto]

Weeks at the earliest. Unfortunately, most contracts could be too busy.

[martyrtoscience]

There's damage all over the city. You may just have to learn to be patient.

[notanemptymotto]

Oh, please. I am far more patient than you. One hundred and thirteen years, Nikola.

[martyrtoscience]

[He has so many snappy retorts.]

You should be richer, with all that insider info.

[notanemptymotto]

And who says I'm not? Come now. Did you really think I'd leave such an obvious trail? You'd be disappointed if I had.

[martyrtoscience]

And you haven't even shared!

[Not faaaaaair, Helen.]

[notanemptymotto]

Perhaps if I knew it would go to a good cause, I would share.
