Nikola might not need or dare to accuse Helen of becoming closed off, but it is the truth. She had kept to herself, pushed everyone away, and very nearly had no personal connections to show for it. That would have been the icing on the cake of her year. How glad she is that everyone seems to have, if not forgiven her, then been willing to push it aside. For as much as she might try to keep to herself, she is a social woman. Helen thrives on human and abnormal interaction. She needs both to survive.
As Nikola finally takes a seat by her, she turns just a little more towards him, sipping further at her wine as she listens. She had known that even the barest mention of the new Sanctuary would catch his attention, even more will what she has in store for him.
"I managed to get my hands on a good deal of technology you had shown an interest in," she continues, watching him for signs of his reactions. "The upgrades to the Sanctuary infrastructure have made everything much more stable, which was the point, but I had hoped you might come to see it. Praxis may be gone, but parts of it live in the new Sanctuary. I would hate to be unable to share that."
It's the best she can do, honestly. She can't change what happened -- or, well, she had the chance to but refused for a multitude of reasons -- but she had been able to procure either the blueprints for their technology or pieces of the technology itself. Either way, the Underground Sanctuary has become something of Praxis rebuilt. If that isn't tempting for him, she doesn't know what would be.
