Blue had stayed quiet for just long enough that Lex convinced himself that she was just going to ignore him. Finally though, and true to the dramatic nature she'd shown to him, she sighed and gave up her unwarranted silent treatment. And of course, the root of it was Marcus. Because it just had to be Marcus.<br/><br/>“Did he now.” It was more of a statement than a question. So Marcus had given Blue ‘the talk’ too. He was such an annoyingly apt babysitter. “I'm sorry about him,” Lex apologized on his brother's behalf, where normally it was the other way around. It was all he could do, though. He couldn't exactly explain Marcus’ behavior, because frankly Lex didn't know what his brother was on about. “You're not, for what that's worth.”<br/><br/>If she wasn't a distraction, then what was she? A survivor, to be sure, just like they were. But in regards to Lex personally: if not a distraction, then what? He came to the bitter realization that he didn't know. They hadn't even talked about whatever had happened between them last night. It was probably a good indicator of how likely that was to happen again. But Lex was far too old and bitter to concern himself on whens and ifs. If it happened again, it would happen. Just hopefully without Marcus.<br/><br/>Deciding the mood was too dark and that monotone didn't suit Blue anyway, Lex tried to strike a lighter note. “Besides, I have way too many distractions already. Sight-seeing mostly, these days. I'm afraid you just can't compete for my attention.”
