"The ones that attacked me? They were fine, with some minor injuries. Carol intervened at the Emperor's request."
But that didn't matter because everything around them starts to fade away once he settles in. And he ends up between a half-transparent Lauri-Ell on one side, and an orange tabby cat (or so it seems) on the other side. And, on a nearby chair, the dream-Lauri-Ell.
The television comes on, to a mid-season episode of Real Bachelor of New York, and there's no denying it's one of those stupid dating reality TV shows. Lauri-of-then seems confused at first, with a questioning commentary directed to the feline, which she refers to alternatively as 'Beast' and 'Chewie'. The Lauri-Of-Now also starts to comment on it, as they move through the shows, clearly caught up in all that is going on. Her commentary is more... annoyed and prescient, as if she knows to warn the woman that the man is unworthy. It would be easy to lure her into the proper fight.
Only after she suggests pelting the man with spoiled meat and a knock comes at the door does the memory of the past fade, and Lauri actually is sitting in that other chair, and she looks annoyed.

"Those women deserved better."
