Rex found this intriguing. Helena was giving him control over information, showing trust and deference.
It was a power play, whether she realized it or not, putting him in her debt while simultaneously offering him something valuable.
After a moment, Rex said, "I'd rather not talk about it right now."
"Some people have certain expectations and biases about reincarnators. I'd rather be judged on what I do than where I came from."
"That makes sense," Helena said. "Alright then... I'll keep your secret."
"Consider it a small repayment for saving my family."
"That's not necessary," Rex protested. "I didn't save them expecting payment."
"I know," Helena said in a soft voice. "That's why I want to repay you."
"Rex, you've earned the gratitude of House Starlight, and that's not something given lightly. If there's anything you need, anything at all, you can ask it to me, okay?"
