Yeah, he’d do. The personality didn’t much matter, human men were useful for one thing, and it didn’t involve much conversation.
She turns her attention back to Kasumi as she reaches her, and catches some of her conversation with Ciara in the process. As Ciara disappears into the crowd, Lexi takes her place beside Kasumi.

And let’s be for real here, love. If anyone should be called Queen of the Beach, it’s neither you nor Duna. It’s me, the former beach volleyballer.”

“Yeah I work out. Buy me and my friend here a Yamazaki 18 and I might even give you a few of my secrets. Not that you need em with abs like yours mate.” Lexi starts laughing. “Oi ‘sumi, toss that crap you’re guzzling, we’re getting a proper drink love.”
