Lexie hadn't even bothered to go back to the barn yet. She knew she'd had some warmer clothes she'd found at the thrift shop; but, she just didn't want to think about clothing at the moment. She didn't want to think about waking up naked next to someone she didn't know. She also, certainly, didn't want to think about the weird dream she'd had about O'Malley. Why was she dreaming about O'Malley, anyway? She was totally and completely over that man and his inability to be normal.

Stepping up to the front door of the church Lexie knocked and then poked her head inside. "Andy, you around here somwhere?" She called from the door, pushing it shut quickly to try and keep the wind and snow out. "I didn't know if you needed anything so I didn't bring stuff.. but if you need something..." She trailed off, wrapping her arms around herself in an attempt to keep warm.

Andy laughed and gave a facial shrug as if to indicate he was considering the proposition. Maybe I could just tell all my patients that there was nothing wrong with them and they should go home. It'd make my work day a fuckin' piece of cake, at least, he thought with a tinge of probably inappropriate amusement.

When Lexie made no further comment about Luna or his wanting to leave the church for a while, Andy felt relieved. He didn't want to talk about it, nor did he like the idea of pushing away a potential friend in this place with his fucking pussy-assed emo bullshit. He'd get over it eventually, anyway, so there was no point bitching and moaning about it to Lexie when there was nothing she could do to make him feel better or aid the situation. Not that it was her job to, or anything, anyway. He sort of wondered why she gave a shit, but he wasn't going to ask.

Looking back at Lexie, he raised his eyebrows. "Hadn't thought of it that way..." he admitted a little sheepishly. "Gotcha." With that, he rested the foot of his injured leg on the floor and tried to even out his weight. A small wince crossed his features. "Eh, I'm just really fuckin' stiff." After a moment, he took a few slow steps and actually it felt about the way it had when he and Martha had first come out of the woods. A little twingy but not debilitating or excrutiating. "It feels amazing to get off my ass, though. I have numbness there," he laughed.

After taking a lap up the aisle and back to Lexie again, Andy gave her a hopeful look, eyebrows raised with expectation. "Feels all right. Hurts a little, but you sewed me together with minty string so..." he said playfully with a wink. His smile dropped away then and he looked very seriously at her. "Look, I just need to get out of this fuckin' church for a few minutes, Lex, I'm not gonna lie to you. I promise not to go over fifteen minutes and I'll even cover it if you want me to until I get back. Just...please tell me I can go take a walk before I go fuckin' insane with cabin fever..." he all but begged.

Andy was being such a trooper, and Lexie really appreciated that. Though, it wasn't like he had much choice. It was either work through it or sit around and mope - good for him not moping, she liked that.

"Well, we'll work out some of that stiffness once we get you moving," Lexie was very deliberately shadowing Andy. While she hadn't spent much time watching OT - she had watched enough to see that people with injuries tired quickly, and that when people were tired they were prone to falls.

Finally it came time for Andy to do a lap on his own, leaving Lexie to watch uncomfortably. Everything in her mind told her that this sort of maneuver was best practiced on mats or with tie offs and people shadowing - but Andy, being Andy, hadn't left her much time for dispute. With a sigh of relief at his return Lexie beamed.

"Well look at you," features curling into a lazy smile. She listened as he complained of cabin fever - which she was sure Luna wasn't doing too much to ease. "Nothing holding you back, Andy - as long as you keep to your word and all," she shivered a little, a chill coming out of nowhere to run up her spine. "So, I've got your word then, Andy?"
