I’ve put everyone in unnecessary danger … and why? Lexx felt a wave of guilt wash over him.  He felt horrible for what he had done to his Dice.  They depended on him.  He took care of them.  And he had hurt them.  My selfish desires? Even as he thought it, it nagged at him that the Dice wanted Chel back and would do anything to help.  Selfish. He pushed the Dice out of his mind.  It was he who wanted Chel back the most.  He wanted her safe.  Why can’t I have what I want? He wanted her with him.

Why is this happening to me? What did I do? Lexx’s thought pattern degraded into his usual train of thoughts.  What?  Why can’t I just be left alone?

I didn’t ask for any of this. Lexx turned away from the window and leaned back against the cool glass.  I certainly never asked … to be in love. It was becoming easier to admit that fact.  He loved her.  Right now, he ached inside because she was not with him.  She wasn’t safe and even though being with him might be dangerous, he was there to protect her.  What was happening to her right now?  What were they doing to her?  He didn’t allow himself to imagine any further, certain that despite his worst thoughts, they would not harm her.  It wouldn’t look good and the ADC and .. Trasik, were all about appearances.
