After Zeek's mind had been mostly dormant for so long, it was thirsty for knowledge and had a lot of spare capacity, while Zeek also had a high pain tolerance and a large mental capacity, anyway.
Waling over to Zeek, Lex placed his forehead against that of Zeek's.
Zeek's instincts told him that Lex didn't have malicious intentions, and he also trusted him.
While even if Lex did have malicious intentions towards him, there was no way for him to defend himself against it anyway, so he let Lex get close to him.
As soon as their heads made contact, there was a bright flash, then lex passed onto him basic knowledge and information of most things, along with basic language skills that he would need.
Zeek stumbled backwards due to all the foreign things that suddenly appeared within his mind, but they were quickly absorbed into his active memory and understanding.
