Right. Can't wait for that conversation. [ If it happens. ]
Thanks for the warning. How've you been? Hopefully avoiding getting murdered by the city's recent serial killer?

There's more to it?
[ He's been busy with his strip club, hoping the crimes will come to an end so he can open it. ]

I'm on my way.
[ The fact that Lincoln is involved somehow gives him no idea what to expect. He lets himself into the house with the copy of the keys she gave him and finds her on the couch. The fact that Lincoln isn't around is an indication this is a private matter between siblings. ]
He didn't give you a ring, did he? [ He asks before he sits down. He's so not ready to hear his sister is engaged today, or that Lincoln didn't even run the idea by him first. ]

Hey, you have every right to see the book. She's lucky you're not the kind of person to demand it from her.
Swing by the club later to tell me how it went. [ They can have a drink if it went badly. ]

I'm pretty sure there are robots designed for that in his world, but he's not of them.
He's better company than a lot of people I've met. And more human.

I take it you slept with a demon and you're not happy about it.
When you say it lured you, did you have any control over it?

I'm more than pretty sure, good to know he's Rosie the maid than Robocop.
What?
[ her eyes dart up to Bellamy out of sheer confusion, pulling her away from the picture frame in hand. she sets it down beside her, shaking her head at his mention of marriage - which marks the first time she's honestly ever thought or spoken about that topic ever.]
No.
[ and with the slightest look of offense, she takes a breath and gestures beside her.]
Just sit down.

Right now, I almost wish I was. It's the only thing of Henry's that's turned up here.
I will.
I will.
Someone you love?
Where did the portal take you?

Good. [ Relief washes over him. She's far too young, even if she wanted to be engaged for ten years.
He finally sits down, noticing what she set down moments before but with only a view of the back of the frame. ]
Is that it? [ What could be so important about a picture that she had to show it to him in person rather than share it via technology? Since when had Lincoln been into photography? ]

I'm sorry. You didn't deserve such a cruel trick. I'd be furious in your position.
So is mothering Nancy your way of coping with this?

I know mothering when I see it. [ It's what Emma does all the time with the younger people she befriends here. ] There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. I wish I'd had someone to look out for me after my mom died.
We do.
She's gonna have fun working for me. Safe fun, I promise.

Yeah.
[ but she keeps it at her side, like she's purposely not showing him at first. does that make sense? not really.
does she care? of course not.]
He said he asked the city for it -
[ don't get her started on how dangerous it was to ask them for anything, she already knows.]
But it's of us, when we were younger.
[ she picks up the framed photo to hand over to Bellamy, forcing down anything (everything) she feels about it for the moment.]
With mom.
