X--does not like Elle. But she knows a lot about her situation, and what she herself is like, and so--
Talking to her is comfortable. Her mannerisms, her too-closeness, the way she wiped X's face and claws--they're all things X was used to in the Facility. And because Elle gives off the fellow-weapon/experiment/whatever vibe, X does not react like she would if X were a normal person approaching her so.
Because there are ways that Elle and X understand each other. This is no way means, as Elle realizes, that X would not kill her if the need arose. But--she would try to stop her through other means first. Like with the rabbits.
Because--who is X to make judgments? Past a certain point, that is.
So--X is okay with her even as she does not trust her AT ALL. Except maybe in combat.
