"Well see, that's your fault." Lex informed him, her tone as casual as if she'd told him her eyes were hazel. "You should know better than to get into business with poor clients. Of course they'll chew your head off, you've gone and damn near blown their own off with prices they make in a year. What did you honestly expect? You're lucky no one took it real personal and did you in for the insult." There was a subtle glint of mischief in her eyes that said she wasn't meant to be taken completely serious but at the same time...it was kinda obvious.

"By the time we're done, you'll have no doubt in your mind what I want." Clear cut, to the point and straight shooting. Lex had no doubt that all his questions and instructions would be sorted out by the time they left the Ardenne Forest.

And if she thought he was an interesting specimen of man before, this just took the amusement cake. Lex didn't even try hiding how amused she was at his little spiel. "There are nicer ways of telling me we can't be friends." She teased. There were hermits, then there was him if what she was hearing was anything to go off of. "Lots of people have learned to acclimatize themselves to my headstrong, overbearing nature. I'm sure you will too." Yes, she was aware he wasn't necessarily referring to her but that didn't make it any less funny.

"You're right though, it is overrated. Haven't found a single thing I can't do that someone with a boyfriend can." Which...as you could imagine...left her with very little incentive to attach herself to someone. "How wise of you."
