Fortunately, Helena says nothing else. She's been spending enough time in the company of someone who needs space to process, to consider, to find more words than perhaps it has available - she knows when silence is not just silence. There is only breath, and patience, and time.
She worries she went too far, but it had spilled out, water released from the locks. There's nothing for it but to wait, her hands folded over the bunny and the scent of their coffees in the air, and she pretends she doesn't hear the stuttering in that breath, what it might mean.
