He had thought she would start crying and squeezing her hand back at her words he wrapped his free arm around her in a hug. "I know. I just needed you to know how important that was. I don't need every single girl surrounding me like I'm the bloody Prince of England for a title and money." Yeah...he might show off on a date but those were never girls he actually wanted.

"No I'll stay here to finish. I have to. But I'll be leaving over the break to take care of stuff. Sorry I can't come over for Christmas. And I'll be in charge of the estate. I already hold my father's position since I'm of age now." Something he wasn't looking forward to at all once school finished. At least he didn't have Miles' job. When Uncle Aral died his hyperactive cousin would have some big shoes to fill. "It's not as bad as Miles though," he said trying to lighten the mood a bit. "I just...thought you should know what was going on."
Lexi tutted at him a bit and shook her head. That wasn't a proper apology and he knew it. But given the current circumstances she would let it slide... for the moment. Nodding now she sighed. They were both to blame, for sure.

Lexi sniffled a little bit and rolled her eyes dramatically. "You are so full of yourself." That was all she could think of at the moment... leaning her head against his shoulder for a moment she wiped her face on his jacket and smiled to herself. Hehe.

"I think I may rescind all invites for the holidays actually... I don't think I realized how much stuff I need to do in such a short time. I have vaults and that house to deal with. I am not sure I will be able to even enjoy the holidays for working on things," she said sadly. She had always loved the holidays... now they all seemed tarnished.

She nodded her head and lifted it off of his shoulder. "Well you know what you have to do and you are prepared to do it, even if it sucks... so you are a bit ahead of the game on that, yeah?" she said numbly.

Was it always business? Would he have time to grieve at all?
