Lex crumpled as soon as the blades dug into his kidneys, the shield finally breaking, Lex feeling the full brunt of Horace's tenacity. He smiled as he fell, a smug smirk even though he clutched his hip. "Well, s**t." Lex muttered, lying on the grass and staring at the sky for a half second too long.
He sighed heavily, then sat up, right arm dangling off one knee and his left leg tucked behind the other. "Alright, maybe it does need variety. Haven't really thought of sleeping with any of the dicks on this island, in complete honesty." Lex cracked a smile, patting the ground in an invitation for Horace to sit. "Ask any questions you want; I'll do my best to answer."

Lex's face grew dark, fists clenching the grass beneath him. "I can't just 'fix' this, Horace." He sighed, letting the blades go with his brief anger. Horace didn't have the full context of their relationship - very few people did. They'd both been broken by love, or lack thereof. Ami had been scarred so permanently by adultery that, for a time, they both thought she'd never fully love again.
Sometimes, Lex wondered if she still thought so. Maybe he did as well, subconsciously, and maybe that thought had planted the unease in his head. A seed that grew quickly into a choking weed of discontent. "It honestly depends on if she even wants me back, let alone to see my face ever again." The older man looked over in the direction of her house, using his forearm to wipe the sweat from his brow. "You ever play the Life labs version of Jenga? Imagine that she and I were playing a two-year long game of it, very carefully and precise, and one day I just got bored and knocked the entire damn tower over."
