This means landing. This means doing something he really doesn't want to do. Still, as with so many other things in his life, Joker does it, feet landing gracefully onto the rose covered ground while his wings tuck against his back. Every instinct in his head is yelling at him what a stupid idea this is.... and yet he still bows his head, exposing his neck to her as he presses his lips daintily against her knuckles.

Her demands aren't unexpected, honestly, and yet his mind is racing as he straightens up again. He can't agree to these terms, can't let the others be taken-

But even his word quick mind can't speak before the temperature in the room suddenly drops. Looking around quickly, it's not what he's expecting, but that only makes it worse. Swearing at Lauren in his head, Joker makes a quick decision. He needs her to view him favorably, so immediately his wings spread open again, curling around the Rose Queen to shield her even slightly from the sudden hail. It's unnecessary for a creature like her, he knows-

But that's "chivalry" for you. Useless, sometimes painful, but it will hopefully look good.
