He was worn down, exhausted in a way that went deeper than a need for sleep. Leslie sat outside the infirmary, not quite feeling up to the short trek to his dorms. Propped up against a wall, flask in one hand and cigarette in another, he looked. Well. Ridiculous, frankly, since he was still in his navy scrubs. <******** off," he muttered, not bothering to look up at who it was that was within his vicinity, assuming it was another of Sunny's grunts. "I'm off shift."

Lex, too, was worn out in a way that neither sleep nor sex could help - not that he got any of the latter. His shift had ended on a mediocre note, and he'd been more than ready to hit his own private whiskey when he caught sight of a semi familiar face.
And semi familiar crass. "As if I were to care." Lex replied with a smarmy grin and tired eyes, approaching Leslie carefully. "Mind if I burn one?"

Leslie started, looking up at Lex with narrowed eyes. He was halfway to biting out another emphatic <******** off, but something stopped him. Maybe Abbi was making him go soft, or maybe he could just recognise a kindred spirit. "Don't make a habit of it," he said, offering Lex the pack--camels-- and a zippo. "Didn't know you smoked."

"Don't plan to." Lex thanked him, pulling a cig and putting it in his mouth, lighting it quickly and without any flair. He coughed as soon as he took the first puff, lungs having grown used to somehwhat clean air intake. "Don't, usually. Used to in high school and Freshman year of college." He puffed, stifling his coughing.
"What's got you snippy today?"

Leslie snickered at Lex's unfamiliarity, taking a drag himself. "Twelve hours working the infirmary does that to a person," he replied, blowing smoke upwards in a thin jet of grey. "Could ask you the same."

Lex made a noncommittal shrug, taking a slower drag and letting his lungs acclimate to the tar he was sucking in. 12 hours certainly wore a man down, but that's why God made coffee.
"Not too sure you want to know, Leslie." Lex drawled, dropping the pretense and leaning into his Nevadan accent. "Just a lot of stuff going on at the moment."
He paused, blowing out a long stream of grey. "What exactly is 'trolling?'"

"You look like s**t," he explained, "Some dude who works nights-- his name is Erich-- taught me a word. Schadenfreude." Horribly, horribly mispronounced. "It means laughing at other people's misery." He offered a toothy grin at the thought. "Asking the wrong ******** person. That's some internet s**t."

Lex sighed, shaking his head slowly. Of course Leslie was going to be a tough nut to crack about the subject. "And who should I ask? I don't exactly have the geekiest of friends."
He coughed again, small and trying to not make it known how much the cancer stick was killing his throat. God, he'd need a whole thermos of coffee.
"I feel worse than I look, trust me."

cherno astra Text to Wondercunt:Trolling is the internet equivalent of pranking, usually by baiting or making provocative comments just to raise hell, bother someone, or get attention.

Lex leaned at the waist to read the message briefly, nodding curtly as he finished up and straightened himself. Essentially, what his entire twitter existence was - being baited. "a*****e' could be used to describe at least a few dozen people on this island." Lex smirked, flicking some cigarette ashes on the ground.
"Like I said - been a few years since I smoked." He shrugged, and followed Leslie's instructions. Admittedly, it became a lot easier.

"Isn't that the ******** truth. That's the bare ******** minimum, really." He rubbed his cigarette out on the linoleum, and took the time to light another. "Let me guess," Leslie drawled, not looking up at Lex, "is this about twitter?"

"I'm that transparent, huh?" Lex gave a half chuckle, shaking his head slowly. "Yeah, it's Twitter. Not used to getting called out on my issues, I guess."
A small smirk.
"Sort of difficult when you're - ah, you're too young." He waved a hand dismissively. Essentially a "I'll tell you the joke when you're older."

Leslie held up one finger on both hands, then bumped them together to hold two up on one hand, and none on the other. "Not a lotta internet with other people on this rock," he explained, shifting his hand to then flip Lex the bird. "Don't use your old man insecurities against me, a*****e."
