As he spoke she found herself biting the inside of her cheek and a creeping chill starting. Not because of Josh, no, he was great but...this got into feelings territory. And she was no good with that. Especially since...well she wasn't too sure how she felt about things. Aleks and her weren't serious, they flirted and had dinner dates and great conversation, but she liked him. And she liked Josh. As more than a friend though? Maybe, it was hard to say. She knew that if he'd asked when they were first getting to know each other, she'd have agreed. There was no friendship at stake back then, no one else to consider, and no years of viewing him somewhat platonically. Because when a guy made it clear he had a rule against dating in the organization...well you took that in stride, and moved past it.
Her first instinct was to avoid answering, because she didn't know how or what to say, and to have an excuse to go run off to the lab. Except...she was in the lab. There was no scurrying away from dealing with emotions and such, no, she was cornered. Lena blinked and opened and closed her mouth, trying to get words out amidst the shock. "I...wh...." She stopped, sighed and rubbed her face, trying to get her head straight. "Don't you have the whole rule thing about..." She gestured vaguely, just buying time because she had no idea what she was doing or how she felt.
