“I’m going back to college.” Chel didn’t give Lexx time to finish. “I’m studying to be a biologist. You? What are you going to do, Lexx? Alt,.. unwrap your arms.”
Lexx frowned. That wasn’t a question he wanted to answer or something he wanted to do. Truthfully, he didn’t know what he was going to do anymore and this game was a game of things you didn’t know. He’d already told her his main plan. To stay here.
Nervously, Lexx ran his hands over his arms. He didn’t want to. But it was part of the game and this would lead to another question. It was strategy. Reluctantly, he began to untie and unwrap the bandages, letting the drop to the floor.
“I don’t know.” He sighed, staring at the floor and growing pile of cloth. “Why do you want to see these? Alt – wrap my arms.” Either way, he got something he wanted, an answer or a deeply desired touch.
