Lexi didn't shout or pop off or cringe at Legend... she simply sighed and looked at him for a moment before responding. "I got hit. And how was your holiday?" she said. No need to go into too much detail here. Not at all.

Rufus held onto Lexi's hair and bent his little face down and kissed her forehead. Hehehe. Lexi petted his little head and set him to chattering a bit. He was the best company she had had in a while. Jim Wilkes was the best friend she could ask for. He gave up his monkey for a friend in need.

Patroclus. Shouting. Heheh. Lexi looked toward the sound and waved wildly at him. "How was the rest of your holiday, Patroclus?" she said loud enough for him to hear, she hoped...

She then cast a glance around, ugly bruised face and all... there were a LOT of new lion cublets. More for her to watch out for and take under her wing. That made her happier... gave her a reason to be there.
