That's-- She's not sure what to do with that, and there's something a little too pleased in the way she smiles, before it turns sheepish and she rubs at the back of her neck. She can't remember another vigilante ever saying something like that to her, that working with her is more important than secret identities (or anything, really), because most of the time she isn't more important than most things. Bruce would drop her instantly, she knows, if he thought she'd compromise his identity, and while she wouldn't blame him, it's still nice, to hear Helena say it.
But there's a tiny part of her that is embarrassed by how nice it is, when she doesn't need anyone's approval.
It's tricky to remind herself that needing and wanting things aren't the same thing.]
