“I er-ah …” Lexx searched for an intact sentence. “Anything you need to say to Lexx can be said in front of me.” Riley cheerfully jumped in to save Lexx. The littan clamped his hand on Lexx’s shoulder, trying to jar him out of the shocked state he was obviously in. “You’re not involved with [...]
“Never mind.” Riley immediately removed his hand from Lexx’s shoulder and stepped aside. “I’ve had my overly protective father encounter for this life time.” Riley bowed politely to Victor and spun on heels. He vanished down the nearest hallway in a few overly long strides. “Coward.” Lexx hissed after him.
“This is not necessary, I-“ Lexx turned to talk to Victor. “You’re a dangerous person to be around, aren’t you, Lexx?” Victor jumped right to the point. “I, …” “Chel was injured.” “She, …” Lexx found his thoughts sluggish. Victor’s voice was perfectly conversational, which confused Lexx. It was like he was talking about the [...]
Ok, those of you who preordered Alien Dice – If you want me to send your books without the extra art piece (which will be mailed later), please let me know and I’ll get them in the mail today or tomorrow. Saturday at the latest. The server/site issues with shivae.net and cyantian.net have caused a [...]
“Who is going to protect Chel? You?” Victor’s voice took on a more critical edge. “You may be able to grow back body parts, but Chel can’t.” Lexx took a moment to let it sink in. He was right, but Lexx didn’t want to think about it. He scrambled for a good response and only [...]
“No, she won’t.” Victor frowned and stared at Lexx. “Chel told us everything.” Lexx panicked. He gestured quickly for Victor to not say another word. “I know.” Victor waved a hand toward Lexx. “And as tempting as it is to ‘end’ our little problem, I won’t do it because of Chel and the simple fact [...]
“Thank you.” Lexx muttered begrudgingly. “When Chel returns, you are going to tell her this is too dangerous for her and to return home.” Vic jabbed a finger in Lexx’s direction. Lexx stared. It was asking the impossible. He could say those things, but he knew what Chel would say and do. She would be [...]
“Do you understand, Lexx?” Victor took advantage of the alien’s stunned reaction to put his hand on Lexx’s shoulder. His fingers brushed over Lexx’s wing and a tiny transmitter was left behind. “No.” Lexx tensed up, resisting the urge to jerk away. Vic was encroaching upon his personal space. He had no idea what Vic [...]
“I can’t make Chel do anything.” Lexx stated matter-of-factly. “You’re her father … I cannot control her, nor would I want to.” “Nobody controls women,” Vic said. “But they can be guided with the right words … especially if they’re convinced it was their idea in the first place.” “You’re suggesting that I manipulate Chel?” [...]
“It doesn’t matter.” Lexx shrugged off the uneasiness. “You make her leave. You’re not using me … I will not cooperate.” Lexx turned away from Victor with only one thought running through his mind, I will not anger Chel on purpose. “You and Chel come from two drastically different worlds.” Victor kept talking. “When this [...]
