Lucas' lips twitched slightly. "Yeah, uh... I could tell," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "My sleep was alright... Mostly. Someone entered it pretending to be you, and I told 'em off."
Okay, so that wasn't the whole truth, but it was enough of it. He was fairly certain that Alex didn't really want to talk about the previous night yet.

Alex flinched after his first comment. He could tell...? Oh ****, what all did she say last night?
After his second comment, she pretty much froze. At first thinking she didn't hear him right, then just because she was trying to process what he had said.
"...someone what?"

Someone... got into our dreams, Alex. Whoever it was was impersonating me in your dream, and you in mine. She said her job was to make sure we had... erm, 'pleasant dreams'. But I told her I promised you that I wouldn't indulge myself like... uh, like last night." Lucas said, still feeling quite sheepish.

Alex just stood there. The room very still, very quiet.
".....someone what?" she said again, the same dumbfounded tone.

Lucas sighed, and ran a hand through his hair while slowing down his repeated explanation of the events from the previous night. When he finished, he asked: "Do you want me to explain it again?"

The room was still very still after his explanation. Finally, Alex made her way back to the door, unlocked it, and carefully opened it. She stood in the doorway and studied his face intently. With her abilities, she knew that he was telling the truth. But...it was like she needed to see if he was BSing her or not.

Lucas, as if reading her mind, said: "In case you're wondering, no I'm not BS'ing you or anything."

After another second of studying his face, Alex seemed to accept that and drew back into the bathroom. Her face, for the most part, did not change. Something in her eyes, however, seemed absolutely horrified.
"I see." she said quietly as she again closed and locked the door. Then thumped as she cracked her head against the center of the door.
Oh ****ing little balls of ****...
So someone actually came and....some complete stranger just...a woman just...and she thought it was....and after she had told HIM that she didn't want to risk going that far, she went and....after she had FLIPPED OUT AND BAILED ON HIM....she just...and he HEARD her....she just...oh ****.
****....*****....****.

Lucas frowned, and knocked on the door again. "Hey! What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did you slip or something?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine..." Alex replied, her tone a strange mix of rage and defeat. Physically hurt? No. Mentally kicking her own a** in front of a moving Pizza Truck? Yes. "I'm....I just...I'm fine." She continued, then took a rather lengthy pause before mumbling. "....sorry."

Lucas frowned yet again. "Sorry? What for?" he asked, folding his arms. "And would you please come out of there? You locking yourself in the bathroom of a hotel isn't gonna solve anything," he chided.

"I just..." Alex began. "...I...I thought it was you. And...and after I flipped out earlier and ditched you, and...I just...damn it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about earlier and making you feel crappy, and then doing...that. And apparently doing it un-quietly." she said, not so much as making a move to open the door. Honestly she felt like she needed to take another shower. An extremely cold one this time. Shock her stupid powers into going back to normal for a fair amount of time.
...and she felt humiliated. He knew what she was dreaming about last night? After she'd ditched him because he was being a guy in private. Jeeze, now things were going to be weird because of HER.

"Well, I accept your apology-- I didn't want you to apologize anyway, since, well... it doesn't matter to me what you do. I made a promise to myself not to do more stuff to freak you out; you don't have to freak out over yourself, you know." Lucas said, then he let out a nervous chuckle. "Erm... How, uh... how good was I?" he asked nervously. It wasn't an attempt to flirt, however, and he quickly made sure Alex knew this with: "S-sorry, I've just... I'm a virgin, so..."

Alex blushed heavily. "Well...you certainly knew what you were do-wait..." she began, then paused when the last part of his comment sank in. She moved, unlocked the door, and cracked it open so she could hang out of it and look at him. "Did...did you just say you were..."
Was he serious? As fit as he was, he should have had girls all over him. Then again...as articulate as he was around Atropos...he could be the extremely shy type that never talks to girls.

Blushing, Lucas gave a short nod. "Yeah... I said it," he replied softly. "I'm sorry, I... I'm usually really shy, so... I've, uh... never-- never had sex, or... or had a girlfriend, so... Aw, screw it, I'm sorry-- I must sound totally stupid right now... Look at me, I'm twenty four and I've been single my whole life! You must think I'm an idiot..." he said, turning away and sitting on the bed.
