A soft chuckle escaped Andy at that and he looked back at her grinning. "You callin' me a pussy?" he joked. He looked her up and down slowly, sizing her up very obviously. Then he looked down at himself and, finally, back up at her. "You're bigger, stronger, faster than the drug?" he teased. "I dunno about all that, Lex... I don't think I'll be believing you until I see that with my own eyes," he added.
Andy pulled his arm gently away from hers when she rested her head on his shoulder and then wrapped it gently and loosely around her waist. Normally, he'd have gone for the shoulders but, well... It was more comfortable, he thought, that way; with his arm around her rather than their arms linked between the two of them when she leaned against him. His hand moved up and down her forearm absently as they walked. "If it rains lollipops, it'll probably rain the green ones with my luck. I fucking hate the green ones," he replied, his brow furrowed and his voice frustrated before he grinned again, more to himself than to her. "That would hurt, dude, if it really rained lollipops. That shit would suck. If a penny dropped off the Empire State Building can kill a man, imagine a getting a fucking Charms Blow Pop dropped on your head from the heavens," he joked, laughing.
The amiable teasing between the two of them felt good to Andy. It was really nice to forget about the fact that two days ago, a building had caved in on him and re-opened the oldish wound on his leg that Lexie had just fixed up. It was really nice to spend time with Lexie when his pants weren't down around his ankles and she wasn't poking and prodding at the hole in his thigh. Mostly, it was really nice to see her smile when he'd been watching for one for two days and hadn't seen a real one.
"Yeah, really. Don't mention it," he replied. "It's not so bad. It's just a bunch of shit that needs to be cleared out of the doorway, really. I might not be Superman or anything, but I'm still pretty capable," he pointed out with a small smile.
When the smile on Lexie's face seemed to brighten at the idea of the cruise, Andy grinned sheepishly and looked away from her again as they walked. "Yeah I could pull some strings," he said. So to speak, I suppose... The mention of a three hour tour made Andy snort a laugh. "Shit, yeah, like this place isn't trippy enough, unless we can pack up that Doctor guy as the professor, I am not going anywhere near a ship that calls itself the S.S. Minnow," he replied, laughing.
Andy looked back over at Lexie when she said she'd take him with her and his smile faltered slightly. "Nah, I'll hook you up and see you off," he replied. "You don't want a gimp draggin' you down on a cruise where you could be meeting more interesting and more able-bodied dudes," he joked feebly.
