Noting the slight hesitation and the slight rusty smile, Helena knew to proceed with caution. She wasn't certain if those were telling that Devi wasn't comfortable around people, or if what Mrs. F and Artie had already told her was overwhelming her. She understood the Warehouse was a lot to take in, and Artie and Mrs. F had a flare for the dramatic by dropping the anvil on people in explaining the Warehouse.
"Yes, the Warehouse will open you to a world of endless possibilities. Mrs. Frederic and Artie have undoubtedly already given you the more dire explanation of what the purpose of it is, but I have long come to find that showing is far better than explaining. The Warehouse does tend to defy explanation more often than not as it stands." Helena gave Devi a friendly smile. "If you would like to come with me, I shall take you into the Warehouse proper." She moved over to the door she had appeared through moments earlier, opening in and motioning for Devi to step out onto the balcony. Once she did, she would be greeted with an impossibly huge Warehouse, countless rows of shelves with all sorts of things stored on them. There were also notable other things within the Warehouse. There was a complete dinosaur skeleton of a brontosaurus , a giant windmill, an intact ship from the early 20th Century, among other things.
Helena would let Devi take in the sight before moving on. After all, some people needed the introduction taken slowly, others didn't. So Helena would simply wait and see which type Devi was before proceeding.
