("It's not like I got a subletter. I think this is good I should do. And it comes with perks. Along with - all of my own. We're not going to be gone forever," he adds for his sister. )
Star City will always be your home. Laurel and I haven't even made over your rooms.
Only at first. Since then, John. Connor once or twice for his father. Lyla last week.
( But, since that first, worried check-in, JJ hasn't checked in. Oliver was kind to him, but there was something there that wasn't good enough for his daughter. Maybe that's anyone he or William dates. Not that he's met William's dates before. )
[It's literally the least she could do. But with that, their food arrives and the family is able to move on to lighter, more catching up topics for the rest of their dinner.]

That's Knightsbridge.

[Because in many ways, William did find her. It wasn't a planned meetup spot for them.]
no subject
What really happened?
no subject
[She keeps her voice low, just in case.]
They attacked the witch coven that was living there. Then one of the witches put up a barrier to trap them all inside. It was a massacre.

Are you two staying here? Staying with Allison and Isaac?
no subject
[They'll go wherever they're needed, but for now, they have some time to themselves.]
