"Oh Lex. Lex, Lex, Lex, you can't just randomly pick out a piece of jewellery and expect it to be a hit," said Ash as she shook her head in disappointment. "Let me explain in terms that you'll understand. That's like taking hot sauce with everything and expecting to like it. Yes, with the fried food it'll be nice, and maybe with the rice you can make it work, but I dare you to enjoy Vanilla ice cream and hot sauce. It just won't work."
Lex put on his most serious and solemn expression, for the example Ash had given brought him a level of clarity on the subject he had never had. In his mind, buying a piece of expensive jewellery was a definite winner, but that was an obsolete mentality. He needed to keep up with the times.
"How should I go about this, then? The topic of jewellery has never been broached before between us, so I don't know her preference," Lex explained, and Ash was happy to see that Lex was willing to be guided. That was the most important thing.
