Helen chuckled softly and ducked her head momentarily, her eyes on the chips. They did look a little appealing and Will was right: she did need to eat.
"You know burying myself in my work helps keep me occupied, Will," she told him, slowly reaching over to pick up one of the chips. By now, everyone in the Sanctuary, even Kate and Will, knew her well enough to know that when something upset her, she tended to dive into her work and never surface. Eating and sleeping schedules were tossed until whatever was on her mind stopped eating at her. Often this took weeks, sometimes months, but eventually she would calm down enough to fall back into her routine.
She hadn't found that tranquility for this event yet and likely wouldn't for a very long time.
"Besides, I don't think you want me giving you all of the paperwork that involves speaking different languages." A teasing smile played across her face as she propped her elbow up on her desk and leaned on it so she could finally look at her protege again.
