Another child, huh.... Yeah. Joker knows who that is. And he knows exactly how dangerous it is to take what's being offered to him. So he can't accept, but he can't spurn her, so what can he do?
There are a few different excuses on the tip of his tongue, ones he's desperately hoping will work, when a familiar voice suddenly bursts through the room and Joker feels his heart stop. His expression freezes at nearly the exact same time, and he could curse out nearly every god he's ever heard of because what did he say!?
It's then that his brain starts responding instead of his emotions, and he realizes just how late the Rose Queen is on reacting.
Oh. Oh.
Fortunate, really, that his wings keep his cloak in the middle when they're positioned like this. It means he can fold his hands behind his back just enough to jab his blade past some of his feathers, hoping Tyki or Gongenzaka gets the idea. After all, they're the only ones with sense with Susan as he is and Lauren indisposed. But Feathers needs help, and they all need a way out...
Which means him leaving will be the hardest, second only to Steven, but hell with it.
"Now isn't that something, my lady?" he asks, putting his acting mask back on. He can work this, he thinks. If nothing else, he can buy them a little more time.
