**“ as a loving mother , i can not lie and say that there is not a part of me that wishes to protect her from any potential heartbreak and take her back to the country . however , i do know that she will flourish here . ” **the fondest smile graced helena’s lips as she spoke of her daughter . there was truly no one else she loved more than ophelia . having children had always been one of her biggest dreams when she had been younger and naive . “ i am relieved to hear such words . ” she mused slightly under her breath . despite the fact that they were stations apart , helena could not help but feel at ease around him . something that she had not experienced in such a long time . **“ i should apologise for english weather in advance . i am certain it is much more dreary than what you are accustomed to . ” **
He found himself staring for a moment, before he reminded himself of his manners and averted his gaze. She was breath-taking, and there was no doubt he was intrigued by her presence and aura. “I assume a mothers love is more than anything I can imagine -- you would go above and beyond for her.” He smiled, nodding softly as he did. She was caring, empathetic, everything of which he desired. He chuckled upon hearing her comment. The weather was nicer where he came from, often basking in the sun at this time of year. “That is quite alright, my travels have led me to become accustomed to the weather here, I am a quick learner that sun is a rarity here.”
a small frown graced the older woman's face as she observed the way the prince seemed to pause every so often and stare at her . helena had never had such a gaze upon her , at least , not since her ill-fated tryst with hamish . a soft blush crept at the corners of her cheeks , " there is nothing in this world that i would not do for her . " her words rang honest and true . helena would sacrifice herself if it meant keeping ophelia safe . as his chuckle filled the air , she could not help but admit that she enjoyed the sound of it . it was soothing but also somehow uplifting . " however , you will find us outdoors the minute that the sun does appear . how lovely it must be to live in such a climate . however , i am quite partial to the snow . "
