Lex considered the question for a moment instead of answering immediately. "I suppose so, in a way. This is my first time being on the opposite end of the surgeon-patient scenario, but I'm not nervous about the actual procedure. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?" Lex joked, though of course there were a plethora of complications that could occur. "I'm already blind so at least they can't fuck up make me<span style="font-style: italic">super</span>blind or anything."<br/><br/>Eventially they were greeted by walls that stifled the cold. Lex knew that this was Venture's lab. His lab. Blue explained away her absence, however long it might have been; Lex still wasn't really sure. "Don't worry, it hasn't been that long," he heard Dicen say. Well, at least that narrowed it down a bit.<br/><br/>"I'll leave you to it, then," Lex said, letting Blue's fingers slip from his own. Another hand found his shoulder, and Marcus led him back out of the room. He had to wonder vaguely if Blue would be okay with assisting, but she would almost certainly be fine. She just had to learn a few new objects, and honestly Lex couldn't think of a better surgical duo to learn from than Jenessa and Dicen. The thought gave him a swell of pride, given that they'd both learned from him.<br/><br/>However, in spite of his naive beliefs that everything would be great, the animosity in the operating room still brewed. Mostly emanating from Jenessa, arms crossed over her chest as she scrutinized Blue. She made a pointed effort not to mention Lex though as she went over the instruments, bottles, gauze pads and other miscellaneous assortments that she and Dicen had assembled.
