Re: Eddie/Holly: late, near the food
Stephanie obliged, cracking open the bottle of cold water and tilting it into his mouth with a slightly affectionate smile. She looked so very unamused about not being Eddie's first love, about being lower on the tier than food. "Fu- friggin' tacos, man." She still had a problem censoring herself around children, especially with a couple of rounds of tequila-laden margaritas in her. "He'd probably have dumped me years ago if I couldn't stand Mexican food. I know it. Actually, I bet he only keeps me around because I'm good arm candy. If he could get a taco to give it to him, I'd be done for." She leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek after taking the water away, as if marking her territory for any wandering taco-humans that might be around, then kissed the top of Izzy's fuzzy head.
"There are lots of other doors. We've been to a few so far." Steph turned to Holly, dipping the cakepop in the margarita and offering it to the young girl. All friendly hostess. "Marvel's a lot like ours, or as close as you can get. They're very bright, from what I hear. Eddie's been there, right, babe?" She watched Eddie rock Izzy in his arms with an ache in her chest full of love. "We've been to the Harry Potter door a couple times. And yeah, we'll be living somewhere else for a while. This Gotham's...we're ready for a break." Steph shrugged. "This whole situation is made for exploring. If you stick in the same door, it's a waste."
