[ Alex chooses to ignore M's comment for now, not really the time to be flustered nor was it anything she wasn't used to. Her concern is with what he said about sleep and pain, and before she can ask him about it more, Linden gives a different explanation.
She turns to him this time, a little surprised by what he said. It sounded like those stories of people who would taste test the food of kings to make sure there wasn't poison in them. Was this really the level of reverence M had for Linden? He was willing to do something so risky, then even try to frame it like it was some brash mistake?
But really, how could she fault something that came out of caring for someone else? ]
Probably not with alcohol...
[ Though she suspects they know that. Sometimes knowing doesn't really stop one from doing certain things. ]
You should go lie down after this. Both of you.
[ She won't rub it in this time, their reasons for doing so not being something she feels she had a right to tread upon. But that didn't mean she was going to leave them to their own devices. ]

Is the water helping?
