"Oh no, I'm with you there! Give me a university town any day! Sounds way more intimate, and more fun!"
Again, this was something that, when explained to Luz, would definitely make more sense than just thinking that Lexi was being too overzealous. The girl had been dealing with other people's problems for a long time, she deserved the chance to decide what her own future was going to look like.
Luz nodded. "Yeah, no, I get it. It is very normal, and no one should try to tell you it isn't. You're doing your best in a situation that you don't normally feel like you're comfortable with. I get that."
It had been wild, to find someone she could just have nerdy conversations with and laugh with, enough that Luz had looked up Lexi all on her own to talk and listen to her. She kept wondering when she'd finally give Lexi the impression she was tipping her hand, that Lexi would wise up and realize Luz was just some annoying nerd and she could be doing so much better.
But that hadn't happened, and Luz felt like it actually never WOULD now.
Luz petted Orville, because of course she did. "Heh, they really do! I'm more of an Iseki girl myself, anime trope where someone is transported to a new world and they have to make do! You think I'd be sick of it by now, but it hasn't happened yet!"
Again, knowing someone had her back like this, a girlfriend no less, would be a pretty happy thing for Luz to come to terms with.
The funny thing was Lexi gave Luz those EXACT vibes: she was so controlled, so smart and clever and witty that Luz couldn't help but have faith in a girl like this, able to overcome obstacles and be so engaging, and somehow she saw it and loved it more than anyone around her.
Luz blushed, but gave her girl a grin. "Thank you my lady! I'll never take it off now."
She was being serious there. And Luz stepped a little closer, taking Lexi in her arms, looking slightly shocked at her own actions but still pulling off a debonaire look.
"I'll be the judge of that."
And she gave the girl a kiss, doing her best to hide the slight tremble when it happened.
