Lex isn't entirely convinced that Adrian has retreated back to limiting himself. Veidt wasn't one to neglect himself of something he wanted and though his actions may not be as bold as what took place moments ago, Lex was willing to bet that he'd have a few more glances thrown his way before the night was over. And his ego didn't mind any of it.

"Why not claim what's mine?" The rhetorical question is in regard to having that particular name bestowed upon him, but Lex knows that Adrian can see the other meaning for himself. "I've made plenty of contacts, though time will tell just how interesting they prove to be." He smiles, admiring the party by giving it a good look. "You've done an excellent job, I hope the guests have been telling you as much."
