We'll make that one of the stops we make? Is it all over California or will it be the deciding factor in where we go." Believe it or not Lex WOULD choose a spot solely based on the potential for candy and Lottie wouldn't mind at all...so....

And wasn't this grand? More official summer plans. Lex grinned at Jasmine. "Sure thing, a pygmy puff date." Or maybe an ice-cream date sounded like the better term to use. It was certainly more appetizing. "I just can't wait for the summer. I've had enough of this cold. Haven't you?" She couldn't think of many people who were happy with the weather around this place...except Dora. She liked it enough, just not the way it restricted them from going outside. Something Lex could understand. Being inside was so confining that it hurt.

Alexa popped another piece of pie in her mouth and offered Felix another strip of turkey while she listened to her options. This was really valuable stuff right here. She had no idea and could now make an informed choice. Though she supposed Lottie would have done her research. They wouldn't have gone in blind regardless. "Outdoorsy stuff makes me think we'll be going to San Diego. She's into that sort of thing and we'll be looking for someplace chill with nice beaches anyway." But it still wasn't confirmed, just...Lex liked the sound of this.

As reassuring as Jasmine was trying to be, it didn't help. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate what she was saying but she'd gotten enough proof to know for herself. Still for the sake of not ruining a perfectly good lunch conversation Lex gave a small nod and forced a smile. "You're right, I'm probably just overthinking things." She'd learned a long time ago that you could end things by telling people what they wanted to hear. Usually it worked.


Now that Jasmine had brought up See's candy, she couldn't stop thinking about it. How could she explain that chocolatey goodness to Lex? Best to let her experience it herself. Words could not do it justice anyway. "Oh yes, See's is everywhere in California so you can't go wrong with whatever city you choose. There will be candy to be had." Listening to some of the things that Lex and her friend were looking for, San Diego sounded perfect. "From what you mentioned, I think you would like San Diego. It has every kind of outdoor activity you could imagine, the beaches are great and you can't get any more mellow than that city. Of course, I'm a little biased. Any of those cities will be great to visit."

Jasmine nodded when Lex agreed to to a summer pygmy puff date. "I'm looking forward to it already." She continued nodding in response to the "Have you had enough of winter?" question. "Oh I am so ready for summer. I am not a cold weather girl. I tolerate it, but I don't love it." In fact, Jasmine was feeling like she might never be warm again. She had never experienced a winter like this one and hoped that she would never have to endure another one. "This isn't normal, this winter? It's not usually like this around here, is it?"

When Lex responded to her Prefect comments, Jasmine could tell that there was more to it than she was letting on. She could have fooled most people, but not Jasmine. The facial expression, the tone of voice........clearly this was a topic hat Lex really did not want to get into. Jasmine decided that it was best just to let it go, for now. "Well I'm sure that everything will work out for you, just hang in there."
