Lennox had a way of greeting certain people that was meant only for them, a way that was theirs alone and he opened his mouth to greet Eostre in such a way before closing it again. After his experience earlier that morning with Ragetti in a teenaged girl's body, he wasn't so sure it was Eostre.
"Hi," he said tentatively instead. "Are you Eostre or is there someone else in there?" There was another pause and then, "And if there's someone else in there, you better take care of the baby or me, Chris and Mike will probably all kick your ass."
He stops at that and resists the urge to sit down on the ground and throw his head back and laugh hysterically at the sky.
"Yeah, that'd be weird," he says, smiling very thinly instead. "I'm my own girlfriend and I'm pregnant with my own kid, so I guess there's no reason I couldn't also kick my own ass, right? I mean, while everything else is going on."
There was a long pause and then Lennox's mouth twitched, staring hard at Eostre. Or, it seemed, Mike in Eostre's body.
"Mike?" he asked, just to make sure, unable to help the amused lilt to his voice. If that wasn't the most perfect switch on the whole island, Lennox didn't know what was.
Josh had noticed more than a few people appeared irate or upset, but nothing alarmingly out-of-the-ordinary. He grabbed breakfast, a mug of coffee, and was considering how to spend the rest of his day when he caught a glimpse of blonde. He poked his head into the hallway and caught Eostre looking more than a little upset.
Josh stepped in front of her, his brow furrowed. "Hey, baby, calm down." He gave her a quick kiss and let his hands come to rest at her waist, pulling her toward him. "What's up? It's a little early to look that upset."
[OOC: I had to. I tried to resist, but I HAD to. Unfortunately, I must warn you of molasses-worthy slowtime, as I'll be in Connecticut until Sunday afternoon. When I return, I would heartily enjoy threading a bit, because this should prove to be HILARIOUS, even for only a couple tags. Grazie!]
The kiss shocks him enough that for a moment he says nothing at all, simply looking up at the man with his mouth working slightly.
And he thinks that maybe after this monogamy might not be such a bad idea for the two of them, if for no other reason than this might happen again and it doesn't have to be any harder than it would be otherwise.
"I'm sorry," he says finally, managing a tight smile. "This has to be at least as fuckin' weird for other people as it is for me."
"No," he says, and tosses back blond hair. It keeps tickling his nose, and it's not helping. "No, it's not you. And yeah, something's pretty wrong. I'm just..." He throws his hands up in a gesture of exasperated surrender. "I've just been telling people all day that I'm not her and it's getting tedious, is all. And she knows so many people."
