At the sound of Sage's little eep, Lexi jumped just a little bit. She wasn't sure why that little sound had startled her so much, but she thought it may have something to do with all the tension in the air. Funny how everything changed as soon as Sage was added to the mix. Of course, it wasn't Sage himself that had changed things. It was the reactions Sage was having to Hecate and the things she was doing and saying.

Were they really dating after all? Sage never answered her question, which only made Lexi that much more suspicious of something going on. She wrinkled her eyebrows at him a little, almost as if she was silently asking, "What's going on?" It seemed that talk of Hecate's possible pets distracted him anyway, so she turned her attention to the Potions mistress, as well.

Prince Charming sort of stiffened at the sound of a cat's meow. Lexi wasn't sure if the Chihuahua was ready to bark and pounce or whimper and run away. Just in case, she tightened her hold on him just a little. "Oh, she's beautiful," Lexi commented, smiling in the general direction of the cat. "...seems to be pretty fond of you, too. How long have you had her?"

Polite conversation. That's what this was. Lexi could suddenly think of nothing else to say, thanks to her constant worrying over what was going on with poor Sage. He looked more uncomfortable than she'd ever seen him. She had half a mind to ask him to step away with her for just a minute or two... Was he...going to be okay?
