The passing of time in the dungeons can be hard to follow, but the impending execution has been a marker that all have been tracking. She had gotten the opportunity to speak with Jon on two occasions--once in the mess hall not long after his initial imprisonment and again in Horizon, yet there was still much to learn. Clearly a man willing to go to any end for the information he thought was valuable and right is someone worth knowing.
Mayhaps there was still a part of her that thought something would happen. They've lost friends and valuable allies through the wars they've fought, and while not all had a resolution, most were working towards it. That feeling of abject helplessness and powerlessness was as palpable as ever.
Sitting next to Estinien in companionable silence became a daily ritual, and while she was glad of his presence, neither felt compelled to ebb sting of the events unfolding. What could be said about it, anyway? Only the very end of her tail gives signs of life as it taps slowly, idly on the stone floor.
Though she may boast otherwise, Elezen hearing is far more keen, so she may chide him for not hearing her coming sooner. Yet the sound of Relena's voice raises Himeka immediately from her pensive cloud as she looks up and around, eyes widening in surprise--and then immediate relief.
"I knew it!" she says a little too loudly, then claps a hand on her mouth as she winces before following Estinien over to the front of the cell. Without hesitation she reaches a hand out to try and take Relena's, confirmation that she is well and truly there.

"I knew that you yet lived."
