The rather thick conglomerate of stuffing was on the way to his mouth when she gave him that look. And said those words. He wasn't sure which he came closer to: dropping the sandwich or nearly smearing it all over his face.

He did, however, choke a bit on air. "What? Hold on a sec." Shifting his weight, he pulled his leg up onto the bench so he could face her properly. "What are you saying? Browne failed you from the program?"

It was tempting to add on a 'you're kidding me, right' sentiment, but he couldn't bring himself to it. In all truth and honesty, he could see several reasons why Lex might have failed, though he didn't really attribute them to being her fault. Sleeping disorders weren't something that one could control.

Instead, he managed an alternate version. "On what grounds?"
Her sandwich was lowered to her lap and it was all she could do not to stuff it back in its bag. "When you say it like that, it sounds a million times worse." She informed him, not quite hitting the tone of indifference she'd been hoping for. Lex much preferred the euphemism of repeating a portion of her final year. It sounded.....less like she'd failed at the only thing she'd ever wanted. "But essentially, yes. I did."

His incredulous look matched her own feelings to a 'T'. She hadn't been able to believe it when she'd heard it and at first she thought the boss lady was only joking, but no such luck.

"Failed my psych eval. Apparently, I've got the wrong mindset and that makes giving me a badge somewhat irresponsible." She didn't have a bleeding heart, she didn't much care about the innocents and she was motivated by thrill rather than justice. It didn't seem like to end of the world to her but it might as well had been.

"I'm also apparently not as caught up on the law as I should be." Though that she would take partial responsibility for. Theory was never her thing and she didn't think it would be all that important, leaving her to focus on her physical training--which she had passed with flying colours mind you.
