"I guess she'll have to," he chuckles. Now that she's locked the door and all. But maybe some tension unwinds in the set of his shoulders, a little bit of pressure easing. It's not that he has anything against Cora, or anyone else who might wander into the room. But it is personal, the L2 side effects. He's practical enough to know there's no sense in keeping the entire situation to himself, but just having Shepard here without the chance of anyone else wandering in--

It's preferable.

"Lexi? She gave me the works the second I stepped on board. Some doctors, they hear 'functioning L2' and their hands start twitching for a sample tube." He doesn't mind it with Lexi so much, who is clearly well intentioned. But there's maybe a reason why he hasn't mentioned this particular episode to the doctor.
