no matter what it takes, i won't let anything happen to you. ❜ (Carisi to Lucy or Brianna?) @heartsofhabit
Having the League of Shadows gunning for her wasn't entirely breaking news. It is a grim, grim reality since she quietly broke ranks.
A shameful, guilty swallow escapes the billionairess at his feckless declaration. She is touched by his offering. Yet, Wayne is keenly aware that she gets people closest to her killed. A fact that is engraved in every fathomless corridor of her mind. Shadows of worriment color oaken orbs as they sweep adoringly over his features. Even sans bat-suit, her urge is to keep him as far OUT of harm's way as humanly possible.
With a wistful, reluctant sweep of her tongue over the bridge of her lip, she manages to speak. "I take it that the NYPD found the threat to my life to be exceedingly credible?" She questions, broaching the distance between them slowly.
Sucking in a breath casually, she continues. "As a result, I've been placed in your care? That is, thanks to the petitioning of a certain Butler of mine to a certain friendly commissioner. Am I close?" A part of her welcomes his presence. Anyone with so fine a figure, and kind of heart is welcome around Wayne Enterprise and Wayne Manor.
A spike of fear enters her otherwise calm facade. If he's going to be assigned to her, it was going to make her comings and goings as the bat a hundred times more difficult. She offers him a flute of champagne. "We might as well make your time entertaining, no?"
Wayne is certainly NOT above flirting with her own protective detail. Especially, when they come as attractive as this detective did.
