"And you're the most optimistic smudge of color I've ever met," he replied, grinning as she pulled him away from the lab. It was a nice balance, though, honestly. His pessimism kept her from getting her hopes up and without her optimism his own hopes might have never made it off the ground. It was interesting the way that worked out. There was no time for contemplation before Blue had to declare her satisfaction at winning their little bet. He smiled and relented, though time would tell if he'd ever get his vision back completely. "Yeah, yeah, rub it in. I don't know if I'm glad to be able to see blobs of color or if I'm irked about losing a bet."<br/><br/>Blue let one of his hands drop and moved to step in line beside him, their hands swinging between them as they went. At her suggestion, Lex gasped and clapped a hand over his heart, feigning shock and appall at the faint blurs of color that he could see of Blue. He appreciated that that was a thing he could do now; it made his dry sarcasm so much more enjoyable. "Blue, are you trying to seduce me?" he asked, pseudo-incredulous. He laughed under his breath and moved his arm up a bit, wrapping it loosely around her shoulders. Her skin was ice, and he almost reflexively pulled back before he pulled the sleeve of his shirt over the ball of his hand and ran it up and down her arm. "I think that's a good idea actually. You're absolutely freezing, and I hate to say that I told you so, but... I definitely told you so."
