Lex considered her words carefully, tilting his head just barely toward Blue's touch. She was right; for all that it was worth, his life felt at the very least more put-together than he imagined could be said for any of the wandering souls that had made themselves a home in the barracks. Though, that had to be the saddest irony he'd ever heard. After all, he may have had some pieces of his life come back to him, like his brother, his best friend, his wife, the man his wife had probably been fucking behind his back. And in spite of how the most normal parts of his life came back to him to keep him held up, he felt like his life was crumbling again and again and again, all around him.<br/><br/>A gradual weight against his chest pulled Lex from his self-deprecating thoughts, and he instinctively circled his arms around Blue as she laid down with him. "Yeah, we're only two days in and I guess I already can't really call you a stranger anymore," he supposed, ghosting his fingers up and down Blue's back. At least, she had come to know a lot about him, anyway. Blue herself still carried a vague mystery about her, if only by comparison. Lex would fix that, time depending. If she stuck around, as was likely the case, then he would have plenty of time to get to know her. Though, not knowing each other very well had been the most alluring part; it was an intrigue that he didn't have with Jenessa, and one that he didn't know if he wanted to ruin with Blue.<br/><br/>"I hope so," Lex murmured, his hand finally coming to a rest at the small of her back. "I still have a bad feeling about what we heard upstairs."
