“Hey,” Marcus greeted, regarding her somewhat carefully before bending down and snatching up a second duffel bag at his feet. In one quick motion, he thrust it out at Lex’s chest. The older of the two managed to catch it just fine, and he turned it over in his hands to find the opening as he walked into the room. When it was just the two of them within earshot of each other, Marcus dropped his voice to a whisper. “And what exactly are we supposed to do with her?”<br/><br/>Lex offered a half-shrug in response. He hadn't actually thought that far ahead. “You were the one that was going to bring her anyway,” he pointed out simply, fingers stretching out over the blankets and searching until he found a pile of assorted objects. He immediately went for the fine leather cases that contained his medical supplies and stacked them one atop the other in his duffel. “Two sets of eyes are better than one.”<br/><br/>Marcus huffed under his breath and Lex inwardly rolled his eyes. He understood why his brother was so quick to temper and to change his mind; things had become incredibly personal with their mother vanishing, for lack of a better word. They were both sore about it, but that wasn't a reason to shoot themselves in the foot if there was even a marginal chance that they'd be better off with an extra head to think with.<br/><br/>A few other assorted objects got tucked away into Lex’s bag, mostly in the form of some batteries and flashlights, before he threw the still-open bag over his shoulder. Marcus leaned over and pulled Blue out of the way before Lex had the oblivious misfortune of barreling her over as he made his way to his own room to collect some clothes.<br/><br/>“Are you going to be able to stay warm?” Marcus asked Blue when Lex was well down the hall. “Mom's shorter than you, but there might be some old stuff of Jenessa’s laying around that you could wear. Sweaters and stuff.”
