Lex had begun to open his mouth to say something. He wasn't quite sure what he would've said in his defense, but the question itself was moot because his jaw immediately snapped shut when he heard a light set of footsteps approaching them. And then walk right by them, without a word. The bed shifted suddenly as Marcus pushed himself to his feet.<br/><br/>“Water still warm?” Marcus asked, knowing that he wasn't likely to get a response. He started to tread toward the showers regardless of the answer, if he got an answer at all, because at the end of the day a cold shower was better than no shower at all.<br/><br/>But, praise be to whatever god was in charge of mundane niceties, because the showers were indeed still warm, he'd realized when he arrived at one of the shower heads and tested the water. Satisfied, he let the water run while he retreated to the sinks to discard his clothes. He paused to take a look at his reflection through the fog that resulted from Blue's shower. His already unruly hair was unusually tousled from where he'd slept so deeply and he could've probably used a shave. He'd just have to make a note to find a straight razor or something, but that was neither here nor there. His clothes were made quick work of and he stepped into the embrace of warm, running water and<span style="font-style: italic">relaxed</span>.<br/><br/>In the sleeping area, Lex busied himself with listening to the sounds of Blue eating. It always made him inexplicably uncomfortable to listen to someone chew, but he couldn't think of anything else to fill the silence. Blue normally carried their conversations because he'd never been that great with social scenarios. And in his mind, Marcus scolded him over and over that his mind wasn't where it should be.<br/><br/>Hm.<br/><br/>Deciding to not let his thoughts darken this early in the morning (or, whatever time it was, anyway), when Blue finally ran out of whatever it was she was eating, he finally got the gumption to say something. “Sleep well?” he asked, for lack of a better, less generic conversation-starter.
