Even with Sabel's denial, Lex wasn't sure she was ready to believe him...until he outright called Legend an idiot. That was officially speaking her language because that was the line she was thinking along as well. Merlin knew why anyone decided to go hiding in corridors and listening to people after work but it wasn't the most promising sign out there.

Alexa stared up at him, momentarily forgetting the paperwork she'd been diligently trying to do a moment ago before EITHER of them interrupted. "Circe, you really ARE hung up on the fact it's a rock...aren't you?" Of all things too. This was more ridiculous than it had been a moment ago. "When I'm finally ready, I will choose one of those, yes but this was a hypothetical situation built on the joke that I was less agreeable than a rock." But he obviously missed all that because he was too busy being uptight about it.

"And what does a joke have to do with my patrols? You aren't YATIL and I'm not an Auror." They fell under two different chains of command. He COULDN'T tell her what to do...could he? Probably not.

Furthermore. "If you wanted to be friends with me, you didn't have to restrict me to patrols with only you. Chocolate frogs get you further. The hell am I supposed to do now? Desk work?--I don't have a desk. Fetch coffee?--That's not in my job description." Lex began shuffling at the papers on the ground by her, realizing nothing more would get done. "Shoddy sense of humour you've got."
