"Yeah. I know you won't. Within reason. 'Cause if the choice comes down between stopping me after some Pthumerian's driven me out of my head and, well. Letting someone else get hurt? Stop me." And the look on Lexi's face showed that she was being deadly (wow, that would be a bad joke) serious.
"I know, hon. But sometimes you do push yourself, so I worry. Not 'cause I think you're not strong enough, I know you are. But there's already so much going on and I know sometimes you spread yourself a little thin. Though, I guess that's what I'm here for?" To worry and care and feed her, when deemed necessary.
Which was fine, since Lexi was going to help to provide the Darkblood as well as watch Luz's back. So everything was going to be fine.
And Lexi was becoming convinced that not only was she going to stay the only one from her world, but maybe she wasn't ever going back. And she was surprisingly okay with that, in no small part thanks to Luz. So Luz could take all the time she needed, Lexi would be there to be a listening ear and someone to lean on.
"Mmm-hmm. Je t’aime, mon amour."
"Okay," Lexi nodded. "That's sensible. I mean, it seems like a lot of people already come in with their own powers and abilities and they lean on one side or the other. Assuming that the other isn't permanently fubar'ed by their blood type. But I'm glad for you, that you're finding new and interesting ways to learn and use your magic all of the time. It's really cool."
And Lexi gaped, smiling anyway. "Ohhhh, no! No, no, not gonna happen. Seriously that hat alone was worth driving over repeatedly and it turns out that I really suck at woodwinds, they probably saved themselves a fortune by going with Cassie."
"--not exactly?! Sorry, I meant that you're light and worth being around. Not that our Omens aren't, but I was being people-centric. At least for now." And Lexi was blushing bright red, looking at a fixed place on the wall.
And Lexi was always one to fall for the blushy parts. Always. She'd given up on trying to avoid blushing on a regular basis.
