She’s probably being ridiculous. Somewhere, deep down, Lexie is entirely aware of this, though not enough to question doing so in the first place.

Though her mouth opened wordlessly, at first, she finally found it in her to speak. Voice quiet, and fairly high-pitched, she asked, "...Where am I?"

"But 'twas not me who brought you here," he added quickly in as comforting a voice as he could manage. "Nor I do I mean you any harm."
There were obvious conclusions to come to when you wake up naked in a mans bed and he had no wish to deal with her panicking.
He got out of bed, heedless of his own nudity, and tossed her a shirt and a pair of trousers he picked up. He did not have any women's clothing in his hut, of course, but it would do for the time being.

I'm observant. Comes with the whole detective thing, I guess. Picking up clues, making inferences. That's the game. Sometimes, though, no detecting is necessary.

Expression bordering on petulant, she studied him carefully, as if by doing so, she would be able to tell whether or not he was lying. It didn't yet do her much good. "Yeah, actually, you do look like," she replied with a scoff, though decided in that moment to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least a little. "I'm Lexie. And I swear to God, if this is supposed to be some kind of a joke, I'll..."
