She still had a life to live and there was no telling what kind of life the other guy was living anyway. Plainly she was a safe bet.

For now Lex, chose to ignore his comment, taking corners blindly, choosing paths without really thinking about them until she could swear they were going in circles. Only thing to prove her right would be running into her patronus and the dementor again but that didn't happen and soon she could feel herself being drawn into a walk.

Funny how you never really notice the need for air until after the fact. "I'm fine." Alexa glanced behind them, ignoring the fact that if in truth it had followed they would be able to feel it.

"Saw my former Groundskeeper get his soul sucked. Don't reckon I wanted either of us to be next." The thing about that was, no matter how much she'd told the man to get up, insisted he shake it off, he never did. He never did anything again and she had WAY too much to do to have that happen. "Should be fine now, if you don't count the fact that we're possibly more lost than even the organizers of this thing intended us to be."

Fine didn't involve running for countless minutes around countless corners. Fine didn't involve being so out of breath that even saying you were fine took effort. And fine most certainly wasn't followed up by such an explanation.

For a moment, Rhydian just watched her from the corner of his eyes. There wasn't much that one could say to a statement like that, and knowing Lex she most certainly didn't want a hug or hand-squeeze, things that might be taken as degrading to her strength. And he most certainly was not going to ask if that's why she wasn't a huge fan of kisses.

Bad timing brain. Simply bad timing.

Pursing his lips, he let the silence between them reign for a few moments. Not a bad thing, silence. Especially in light of such news. It was almost a respectful tribute to the dead groundskeeper, though he wasn't sure exactly what a groundskeeper was or what said person had to with Lex. Or why there was a dementor near Lex.

"Never seen a dementor before myself," but death was an old friend, "just heard about them." He couldn't resist giving her some sort of assurance, and settled for giving her hand a brief, understanding squeeze as he turned them around another corner. "So, thank you for hauling us out of there."

Patronuses or not.

He also tried for a light-hearted smile. "Being lost is half of the fun." Provided there were no more dementors to come calling. What the other half was? He was still working on that, in case she asked.
