Hello, I am reading this novel and in page 74 find that sentence (in bold) I don't understand (I cite for the context):

"
'And what's that?' said Paul, pointing to notebooks underneath the records, drawing-covered and filthy with dust and ink.
'Just writing. You know'
There were at least ten of them, dark blue cloth-covered notebooks. The doodling on the outside was a pattern of geometric and snakelike shapes.
'You draw, too? said Paul.
'Not that much just now,' said Luke, thinking of the crucifix, that he supposed he had chosen words and wondering what that meant.
"
The "crucifix" might refer to one he "built in the middle of his bedroom out of broken glass from the bottles his father threw away".

Thanks for your thoughts!
