[Her voice is quiet, and oddly calm. Maybe a little dead.]
I don't know where you are, or where she is. I know you've disappeared, and I can't feel you anymore, so I guess... probably Dismas. I hope you found Clare.
[A long silence.]
About the Abyssal Ones. I think the third is here, too.
[That's not a voice she was either expecting or hoping to hear, so have some silence. She has nothing to say to that apology and she'll neither confirm nor deny being underground. The deadness in her voice is eerie and vaguely reminiscent of something she'd hoped never to hear again.
But there. Deneve wasn't going to reply at all but she has to know now. If he's here, that makes things impossibly more complicated and dangerous.]
[Fantastic. Life is complete. All the greatest evils from the whole of the island (with exception of the Organization itself) are now living in impossibly close quarters.
But she supposes, despite the distinct possibility of being cut in half (again) she'll have to investigate for herself.

She tells me that she has rejected him on several occasions, he is jealous, or was jealous with regards to Yuukai.

Is that the ...chicken?
He's questioned her trust in him already, this after she risks the judgment of her peers to allow him into the ranks of the Patrol. Probably questioned her loyalty as well.
Suggested she switch partners, she said. She was crying.
He makes her heart hurt.
She says that nothing she does is ...enough.
Does he feed on her misery, you think? Or does he only eat guts? I find myself questioning.
She considered breaking off contact. Voiced as much to him. He countered by cautioning her not to take away his only reason for ...trying. She told me that he said she would not like the result.

I'm going to see Senji at the Arena tonight. I don't know if you're interested in going, but! I know you were interested in seeing him sometime.
[Awkward silence that can be interpreted as an invitation.]

[She's quiet a moment, as if considering.]
I am interested. If that's an offer, I'd like to come.
I'm quite bored.

...Helen is bored as well. The two of you are more alike than it seems on the surface.

You keep saying that.

And you?

[There should be no doubt about the 'shit' in question.
But just in case - it begins with an 'I' and ends with a 'sley'.]

[And the mere thought of it is almost enough to make her lose her temper.]

[And there's no way in hell that's happening.]
I just...ugh.
There was something that bastard said. Something about the inevitable.
[Helen's feeling that right now. It's the only thing that kept her head from swelling and popping at Priscilla's post.]

[If only she could take that monster's head and crush it in her hands.]
She must have gotten very close with him.
[Her rage is again becoming hard to control, and she's not even sure she wants to.]

Isley.
The emotional manipulation is astounding.
[There's a sneer behind this.]
But it's fine, because sometimes. Sometimes that bastard is nice. That makes it alright, doesn't it?

He is every one of my worst fears.

[Thick with sarcasm] That bodes well.
Has he done something specific?

She told me about Senji.

She still loves him.

With Isley, it may be ...slightly different.

He's working on her. He wants her to surrender. It's torture.

If only she were still with Senji instead of allowing herself to be 'courted' by that monster.

I don't see an alternative to her keeping his company. If you do, please speak of it now.

I wish I did.

So he threatened to kill if she didn't do as he wishes. The reasons to be fond of him just keep getting greater.
[Have a frown that agrees with that scary smile.]
And even if we could kill him, there's no guarantee he wouldn't just come right back.
