Lex was still frustrated at the whole situation, even after his cuddle session with Nevada. Maybe some adrenaline pumping would do him good, he mused as he chewed on his breakfast apple. The gym would be a good place to start.
So he went to the gym and abused the punching bag for a solid fifteen minutes to warm up. Still, frustration and irritation. Ryan and Kat and everyone else - mostly his fault. If he hadn't named everyone, so many people's lives wouldn't be in jeopardy - a swift kick to the bag, followed by a one-two combo - if he'd just been able to keep his passive aggressive mouth shut, like a good Hunter. Business over personal.
He lifted for a good thirty minutes after, coming out sweaty and still irate. Why couldn't he work this off? Adrenaline always helped him in stressful situations; like when his love octagon had been found out. What did he do? Went to the gym and beat the tar out of a newbie.
Wait - he beat the tar out of someone. Of course! He needed to spar.
But who to call? Ami? No, that wouldn't be fair. Nevada? Nope, not shooting a girl he'd just spooned all night with. Ofie? No. Wilson? No, he was in danger of his life, as was Ofie. Marcus? Probably busy with Cass. Dakota? Lex would love to put a bullet hole in him, but he was busy with a red headed woman in attempts not to get himself offed as well. Gale? No, his arm was broken (as he'd seen in the meeting). Otto? Probably not.
So who did that leave that Lex knew? Solia, the Bichon Frise to his Great Dane - the little puppy who would love him not matter what. He called her, smiling a little.
"Solia? Meet me in the training fields - bring Israfel. I promise not to shoot you in the butt this time, okay? Thanks, bye." He smirked a little, thinking of their last spar. Hopefully her posh little bottom had recovered by now.

It was utterly true. Solia, the Bichon puppy had not a shred of hate in her little body. She forgave a great many things, undstood accidents happened and that some people were just not as happy as she was. She might be a bit frightened of people, such as the death lead, but she didn’t hate them. Even after the whole mess that was the thanksgiving feast, and then the grand meeting with death himself. If anything it just made her fret and become concerned. After all, several names had been called of people she rather liked. The ones that she knew, that stood out- She’d been worried since she left.
It wasn’t her place to question but still, she worried. She fret. And at Lex’s call, she was nearly tripping over herself to meet up with him. Israfel in tow, already summoned, Solia resisted the urge to hug the older man on the field. “You okay? They aren’t going to kill you right? I mean, you’re brand new still. And it was in a field we had yet to fully understand the capabilities of and just-“ She felt her shoulders slumped. “You’re alright for now though?” Worry was evident.
Solia might not have a shred of hate, but like any puppy, she would be concerned and worried for her friend more than herself.

Lex held up his hands, smiling. "I'm alive, and I'll be okay - I think. Nevada wrote a stunning report, and my revision to my old one has no emotional attachments in it." He'd checked and double checked to make sure it was right. Nothing that Caelius could call 'defective' or 'misinformation.' All an unbiased, unemotional eyewitness account of what had happened to him in the Haunted House.
"Well, I'm fine physically, at the least." A soft smile as he summoned Regal, spinning the pistol around his fingers with a little flair and smirk. "Mentally, though? Not so much. Even Regal is still a little shaken - though he'll never admit to it; haughty b*****d."
<< I heard that, peasant! >>
< You were meant to. > He mentally shrugged, before going back to Solia. "Just a lot of nerves and guilt on my end, I think. I still feel like this whole situation could have been avoided if I hadn't specifically named people who defended Ceres." A pause. "Everyone besides Ryan and Kat, anyway. They apparently openly defied Caelius in their mission reports."

With a small smile she relaxed at his words. "I... Admittedly am unsure towards what goals the lead of my division are, but I'm sure things will work out. It's good to hear that... Nevada? Was able to make a good report and you were able to revise as you did. I bet, yes I bet you'll be fine!" She gave herself a firm nod. It was all just distressing for her. Still. "Kat... I just hope that she'll make it out. Tough girls like her, they don't give up or break down easily. So we might see her again one day." There was a bit of wishful thinking in her tone, and Solia knew it.
It was likely she'd simply seen Kat for the last time. Still she forced herself to think posative. Nothing good would come if she dwelled on what was likely lost to her,
Reaching up she gave Lex's forehead a soft poke. "I'm always open to talk you know. I promise I won't say anything either. Sometimes it's just easier to listen than to talk. And also I don't blame Regal, what is a king without his countryman? You both do your best and you keep taking things one step at a time and you'll be fine. At least that's what I think anyhow."
Pulling away she held up Israfel. "How do you want to start this off?"

Lex gave Solia a little kiss on the forehead, smiling/ "Don't worry mademoiselle, I know I can talk to you about anything I need to." He whispered, before thrusting the butt of his gun into the small girl's abdomen. It was a friendly but aggressive attack, really. All for fun, and stress relief.
He ran after that, behind her, diving behind the nearest rock and waiting, hammer cocked and ready for response fire. He was feeling slightly like Daniel Craig at that moment.

She really should have seen something coming. Even if was just a rather mild move to give him time to find a good spot at range. As her grip tightened on her bow she flinched. She'd forgotten archery gloves in her haste. It was likely going to make paperwork a pain later but nothing some lotion couldn't help with. Provided no blisters. She seriously did not want blisters.
"Très désagréable! Hitting a lady~" her tone was slightly playful as she faced where Lex had gone, aiming to shoot while backing towards a nearby set of targets. String pulled back and fired, there was no burn from the use of the now yet.

The arrow whizzed by, clipping where his ear would have been had the FEAR shield not have been there. He smirked, glad to see she was still on her toes - and her aim was improving a bit. Though, he had to inwardly wince at her French - she would hit that button. Languages and accents were one of the few things that made his knees weak - and his knees were nearly wobbling at the words coming from the girl's mouth.
He answered with a volley of his own, before calling out to her. "So, Christmas is coming up! If you could have one thing, what would it be?" An odd question in a battle, but that was kind of just how they worked. Shoot and talk - exercising body and mind.

He was not one to miss his target, that was all Solia could say. The pelting made her just glad that they were using magical weapons that gave them magical shields. If not, she was betting that she would have become Swiss cheese by the end if their last spar. Granted, she had been the one to end up needing to make sure he wasn't bleeding out in the end.
She wasn't going to be trying such a move on Lex anytime soon. "Christmas?" His question had her spin while moving to get behind the standing targets. "The impossible. Open Internet access. Why, working on a cell tower?" She laughed. "Or do you prefer a more feasible gift idea? I have an idea what I'm getting you though~" And if she was lucky she'd not need to get off the island either! Until then she attempted to send him the gift of an arrow to the knee.

Thank God for FEAR shields, or else Lex would be crippled right now. That arrow would have sunk into his knee, rendering him with a limp and unable to go fight dragons, and other things from Halloween.
He sent a shot her way, before giving her a surprised look. "Hmm, and what might that be? Something...spicy? Sweet?"
He chuckled, before responding to her question with mirth. "Something more practical - that can be carried in a shopping bag."

The shot clipped her arm and made her wince at it left a cut along her coat. Well, she did need a sewing job... "I know chocolate is out for you. But sweet maybe. Don't worry though, I won't sneak in any chilli candies... Unless you like those?" She'd never gotten a taste for them but she knew people loved them. She actually had very little idea what get Lex aside from what she planned to make. "But if you wanted something practical... That just makes me think to get you rubbers rather than sweets."
Laughing she shot at him. "But... I guess for me? I honest don't expect gifts. I never have, so anything works really." Hardly helpful.

Ah, direct hit. Lex clutched his stomach, even though he knew it didn't pierce the organ. Still, it stung just a little. So long as she kept aiming high, he'd be okay.
"Mmm...I don't think you understood, Solia, but okay. I like candy." He said, firing off a quick discharge of bullets at some of her non vital areas. "Raspberry is my favorite flavor, just so you know."
He took the opportunity to take shelter behind a rock, cocking back the hammer of the gun. Regal was screaming to be unleashed, but Lex told him no. Not now.
"Scented candles? Lotions? Cute soaps?" He asked aloud, voice showing his clear uncertainty. The only woman he'd ever bought Christmas gifts for was his mother - and she just wanted alcohol for the most part. Otherwise, he'd bought intimate apparel on random occasions for women, but he felt like that would be wrong if he was going to be seeing Solia on a nearly daily basis.

"Good, because that is in my ability to make." Spoiler tag, she suddenly felt foolish. Might as well tell him everything she planned to do for the holiday. A small 'eep' escaped her as bullets got her legs, thankfully not tearing up her pants. Pants could be a b***h to repair at times. Still she had an idea of what to buy if she ever was allowed off island. Ever. Raspberry was Lex's preferred flavor. Fact filed away. Solia wasn't sure still how to answer him.
So she just sent him another arrow.
"Candles aren't useful given how others might have allergies plus its a fire hazard in the dorms. Hrm, just... Useful things. Books on mythos that we don't have here would be lovely, but maybe that is just me. I... I dunno. I haven't thought about things I want. I think about what I need usually. Lotions and soaps... Those are nice!"
Israfel sighed, saying how maybe she out to give specifics. "Isra says to say I like ocean scents! Oh wait that's a minipet? Really?"
Mental chatting might have begun to distract her.

Lex rolled his eyes and smiled, shooting Solia in the hand to get her attention. Mental chatter was a hindrance in battle - even if he participated in it from time to time. This was important though - it was Christmas.
"Solia, we've got every possible book on any monster or demon or ghost on this island. We've got more books than the library of congress." According to Ami, anyway. Though maybe Solia couldn't find what she wanted because her partner in midgethood had taken them all.
"If you don't give me an answer, I'm going to buy you a french maid costume." He quipped, grinning. Oh yeah, he was going there.

A yelp, Solia waved her hand from the sting of the shot, quickly drawn back to reality and the fact ‘hey you are in a spar’. She’d been discussing minipets. And cute things. And really nothing useful the hand shot was actually a pretty good idea. “No we don’t. I still haven’t found a library copy of Fifty Shades of Gray. I did find Twilight though.” She paused. “On second thought. No, the island can go without fifty shade. Because just. No.” So done. She was so done.
“Um… wait Lex.” She drew the bow back giving him a slightly confused look. “Why get me a costume? I mean.. I can make one. Plus what would I be cleaning? We have shift rotations and only have to clean our rooms.” The notion flew past her. And Israfel didn’t catch it either. Huffing she ducked behind a bush. D- for protection but hey, better than nothing. “You just can’t ASK a girl what she wants on the spot you know. We have to think about this kind of stuff. Or at least I do.”
