Lexa blinked at Jack when he said he was keeping his no-killing promise, even when it came to Shirley. That was… mildly impressive. Which really said wonders when Lexa was impressed that Jack wasn't planning homicide. She froze though, when he said he wanted to stay with her. Stunned amber eyes watched Jack as he fussed and fidgeted where he sat. He… [i]what[/i]? How was she even supposed to react to them?

[color=crimson]"Uhm… yeah?"[/color] Lexa wanted to run herself through with her sword for responding in the stupidest possible way. Her face was starting to heat. She tore her eyes away from him to look down at the ground. [i]Shit[/i], she was too sleep deprived to deal with this. 

If she forced her spinning head to [i]get its damn act together[/i], it wasn't the most terrible idea. The smartest move would likely be for her to skip town, find somewhere new to hide and set up shop. It meant starting over, but… well, Lexa didn't have all that much to lose here. She'd miss her job, and Ty… But now that he knew about her, the farther she was from him, the better. She couldn't stand the idea of him getting wrapped up in this because of her own idiocy. He didn't deserve that.

At least she could bring her dog with her.

As for sticking with Jack… Lexa's eyes flicked up to him before quickly darting away again. Dangerous. Dangerous and volatile. Not homicidal though, for however long that lasted. But if he could be trusted, then he was a good person to have at her back. And…

Lexa had already lost her family once. While Jack wasn't anywhere close to that, she didn't know how willing she was to lose this possible connection to her past. Even if she didn't want to believe it.

[color=crimson]"If we do this,"[/color] she finally spoke again in a gruff voice, hardly believe the words coming out of her mouth, [color=crimson]"I'm not babysitting you. I don't wanna turn around and find out you dropped a building or something."[/color] Promising to not murder was a good first step, but there was a whole slew of other crimes on his rap sheet. 

This was a terrible idea. She was going to regret this.

But Lexa couldn't find it in herself to pull the words back.
