Lexi's been in situations like this enough to know that if you don't want to start anything, you make as much noise as possible to ensure that the other person doesn't think you're a threat. And she was anything but a threat at this moment, overjoyed to see who she thinks is Rue.
Though, Rue usually wouldn't do that. Hold her at a distance. Or more accurately, she would but she'd use her words instead of actions. She'd been at the receiving end of Rue's sharp words more times than she cared to think about. She'd mostly gotten over it (and her crush) while in Trench, but she couldn't deny that a little bit was still hopeful.
Only to have that hope crushed by the other girl's words. Lexi tried to laugh it off and look casual, though it was debatable how good she was at it. "Uh. Yeah. Rue's a person and she's my best friend back home. You...obviously aren't her and I should've known better to assume, but the two of you could be twins. It's a little weird? If that makes sense?"
it's got its ups and downs (seriously it needs a writer's room, stat)
