Chel found herself hurriedly led by a chatty Sairah down a long corridor. They had temporarily had her dress in a clingy green outfit and wrapped her hair to keep it from getting tangled. Even dressed as one of them, she stuck out. She noticed that most of the crew were Sairah, but a few were Littan and Kourwine. They all turned there heads for a moment to look at her and smile in a way that was becoming more and more annoying. Chel hated being the center of so many people's attention. Her cheeks burned with each additional glance.
"Here we are!" Her escort announced cheerily gesturing to an opening at the end of the hall framed by huge gold columns. "Go on, your dance instructor is waiting for you."
"Dancing?! Crud, Crud! I have no idea how to dance!" Chel swallowed the knot in her throat and walked. "I'm going to look like an idiot!!"
Chel stared at the golden tiled floor which seemed to stretch out of sight and float among the stars. The walls were completely clear except where Chel had entered. Towering columns framed the ballroom. Soft music floated from seemingly nowhere. Chel glanced down, saving herself the embarrassment of stumbling off the ledge she had walked in on.
"Ahem." Chel jumped. A male littan appeared from behind one of the columns. "You must be Chel? My name is Malan."
"Yes." Chel nodded. Malan was as tall as Riley, but without the blonde locks. His hair was more of a wine color and much shorter than any Littan's hair she had seen.
"Don't be so nervous." Malan offered his hand. "These are simple steps, Earth Girl. You just need to follow."
Chel took his hand and stepped off the ledge. "It's just a dance lesson. Don't be so uptight." She mentally prepared herself. She wasn't used to being pulled around in the way Malan was guiding her. He had a firm grip on her hand and she had no idea what he was going to do next, other than probably put his hands in places she would normally prefer strangers not be touching.
"Just move with the music." Malan instructed with a fangy grin. "Don't be afraid - I've had princesses crush my toes."

Dear lord. How rich is Damian?! I mean seriously! Why can’t I have friends like that?! Lexx is one lucky guy. Someone hit him with a board so he realizes it.

Meant to add — And Riley
We saw Claudia’s ship so it’s a tad obvious.
