Re: Queens: Evie/Wren/Luke
What's in Tuxedo Park? [The assertion that there would be no naps, and that the bread wasn't really, really terrible meant the serving spoon could get tucked into the baked mac and cheese, as if the hiccup had never, ever happened. But Wren had never heard of anything in Tuxedo Park, and her features were marred a little bit at the realization that Evie had a lot of stuff going on than she knew nothing at all about. She glanced at Luke, who was shrugging too, and she wondered if it bothered him, that they had no idea what was going on with their friend. She frowned, unthinking, and she carried the trivet with the macaroni and cheese to the table that Luke had just stood from. A hand on the small of Luke's back for a moment as she set the trivet down. He looked worried.] It's okay.
[She forgot to look at Gus, but maybe he just wasn't there to look at it?]
Gotham is never safe. [She said the words to Luke first, as she went and pulled out plates and utensils, which she set at the table without stopping, no hiccup this time, no hitch.] It doesn't matter who walks you back and forth. It's a really dangerous door, and being there is never safe. [It was just candor, years spent with Selina, and it was better that Evie knew the truth about terrible things. Pretending wasn't any good, not when someone could unleash a plague on the city, or when the mobs could execute people. Gotham killed a lot of people, and she knew that. She muttered under her breath.] Non, Gotham is never safe.
