Helena could certainly understand that part of it. Mrs. Frederic did tend to be rather heavy-handed in expressing dire circumstances. But that wasn't all that the Warehouse represented. Why they felt the need to lead with the dire circumstances instead of stressing the endless wonder portion was beyond Helena. But she would at least do her best to instill the endless wonder part on Devi now and hope she took to that easier.
Standing on the balcony, Helena watched Devi as she reacted to the Warehouse. She saw the awe and wonder come over her face, and Helena couldn't help but to smile. It had taken her a while, but Helena was finally beginning to see the endless wonder portion of the Warehouse once again. She'd never again be wide-eyed in awe of it, but she certainly could appreciate someone else being in such a state.
"Welcome to endless wonder, Devi." Helena greeted, a warm smile on her lips. "Come with me and I shall show you the Warehouse up close and personal." She began to lead them down to the floor of the Warehouse itself. "While this is indeed a place that houses Artifacts that are dangerous, not all Artifacts are dangerous. Some are extremely benevolent and beneficial. While one must always exercise caution with Artifacts, it is moreso the dangerous and volatile Artifacts that the warning exists for. If an Artifact is on the shelves of this Warehouse, it is there for a good reason. While accidents do happen, it is for the best you try not to touch the Artifacts, as tempting as it may be."
She then looked to Devi. "Also you may quickly learn that the Warehouse, the building itself, is not simply just a building. It is sentient in its own right." And just because, Helena felt the need to ask a question that had been asked of her when she'd initially been recruited to the Warehouse. "What do you smell, if anything?" She was simply curious to see if Devi smelled the apples or not. Not everyone did, and it rarely ever happened upon someone first walking into the Warehouse. Still, Helena was curious on the matter.
