She shook her head as Tlaloc's 'oh she's a Goddess' lightbulb went off. "Bit more complicated than your first conclusion, I believe." Was her comment. It wasn't that much more complicated, but Lux believed it merited a distinction. You know, perhaps with better role models on Earth, the other Lex would have grown up not to eschew the label. Strange. And the Garden's fate was...well, it wouldn't have gone as it had here. That bothered her, but she wasn't entirely sure if it fell to her to correct it...Did she have responsibilities for all the Earths and all the Gardens? Was it wrong if she left it to the individual Lexes, or did the Starbright Prince, as a figure regardless of origin, bear the collective responsibility for the welfare of all possible Earths and Gardens?
She was totally listening to Tlaloc and not contemplating this, yep. That's what the frown and the knuckle bite signified. Totally.
"...Interesting..." she murmured, at the end of his history of the current state of his universe. She shook her head.
Right, what did he say? Something about--oh. Zeus rules the world? Gross. "I suppose the outlook is promising once you take him down, though..." She mused, still distracted by the wheels of her own mind turning over the possibilities. "For a more united response to threats--oh, sorry! Not to minimize the state of things! That sounds like a pretty awful present." Present as in the time, not a gift.
An itty bitty figure hopped out of the car, Lux took a casual magically magnified glance...and did a double take.
Was that...That was a child, right? Nocturne was not the sort to recruit child soldiers, so there must be something here she didn't know. Surely. "...Not to a huge hypocrite here Emily, but I do believe a certain guest's presence here needs to be explained to everyone? I don't distrust that there's a solid explanation, but this...seems like a potential powder-keg approaching, no?" Lex remembered damn well the screaming contests that ensued from her mere presence--that seemed like a shitty way to start the meeting!
And it hadn't deterred her in the slightest, regardless, back in the day.
