Chel glanced down at Zeta. He was looking up at her, tail swishing back and forth slowly in an intent fashion. Chel hoped that he wouldn’t mind eating canned cat food, since that’s all she had. “I hope you like fish.” She knelt down to scoop the fishy smelling brown mush into a bowl. “Zeta [...]
“You better stop insulting me if you want me to keep feeding you, Zeta!” Chel folded her arms, figuring that since Zeta seemed to like to eat so much, that would be a workable threat. Zeta sighed, his crown of feathers twitching back to lay flat against his head and neck. It was a very [...]
Chel was busy in the laundry room when she heard the yell, “He must be awake.” Zeta was standing beside her, playing with a towel, “Yup, Lexx awake, not sound happy either.” Chel grabbed a grey robe hanging on a hook by the door and flipped the switch to turn on the dryer. “Come on, [...]
How ungrateful could he be? Sure, she’d taken his clothing, but she didn’t really think he’d mind that much. It was better than leaving him outside in the cold mud with his clothing soaked in mud and wounded. He didn’t have to be such a jerk and it just made her want to be that [...]
“Alien Dice is a game that rich beings like to play,…” Lexx saw he wasn’t going to get out of here unless he did as the cat suggested, not with the way the human was looking at him. Maybe it wouldn’t do any harm. In any case, it probably would not make his situation any [...]
Lexx considered just how much to say, “Zeta’s my starting dice,… this cat, is a Stealth Dice, my secondary. I always come after her first.” “Second to a living match.” Stealth piped up sarcastically, “What a world.” Her voice degraded into a catlike growl of dislike. “Throw the dice.” Lexx ignored her and concentrated more [...]
Chel stared at the cat, saying nothing. Lexx avoided the cat’s eyes as they peered up at him. “My goal is to capture fifty dice, strewn across your world… Stealth is part of it.” The cat barely waited for the words to leave Lexx’s mouth, snapping in irritation, “Never mind that I BELONG to Chel? [...]
She bit. “I didn’t mean to offend you!” That was easy. Lexx looked away. He didn’t want to be apologized to nor see her expression. “Too late.” He stated flatly. Chel rolled her eyes, motioning to the main hall. She wasn’t going to argue with him. Maybe she should change her mind and just stay [...]
Lexx finished the oatmeal and leaned back to savor the milk, while Chel poured more in a bowl for Zeta. “That’s all there is.” Chel tossed the empty carton into the trash. That milk went quick. She’d just bought it the previous morning. She noted Lexx looking at her as though he were about to [...]
“Zeta not invited!” Zeta growled, glaring at the sphere. His tone was laced with jealousy. “You’d drown, Zeta.” Stealth rolled her eyes. “Lexx can breathe underwater. Seen him do it for hours! We can’t!” Apparently, those facts meant very little to Zeta as he whined, “Zeta think not right anyway! We ‘posed to fight other [...]
