It's high praise to be doling out, when she knows SecUnit to be someone who wouldn't go and flatter her for the sake of it. The words sit oddly in her chest, warm things that don't quite know where to fit just yet, how to slot correctly between her bones. If she's to be wholly honest, the words resonate as some of her own thoughts - being here is bettered by your presence, though Helena doesn't know if she'd have said it so directly, or how to say that without seeming entirely unoriginal.
For once, its aversion to being looked at might be in her favor, that if she's close and it isn't facing her, the trace of heat that rises to her face might not be discerned - SecUnit's too good with the details of things. Instead, she'll squeeze its hand gently, and hope that communicates something of the muddled mix in her head.
"...could have said much the same to you, you know. I'm very, very glad I met you."
