Several minutes later, Lexx accepted the inevitable and left his quarters. Riley told him that Chel was staying with her father in Keith’s quarters instead of her own. He didn’t ask why. Now, he was walking down a hallway, repeatedly going over what he was going to say when he was face to face with Vic.
Hello, we really haven’t had time to talk, but I want to begin by saying, I would never hurt Chel. Lexx imagined himself saying those words and the look on Vic’s face when he did. Then he tried again.
There was a problem with my code, but it’s been fixed. Lexx phrased another possibility. It wasn’t me. That one would carry with it a lot of further explanation that even Lexx didn’t fully understand. Plus, he might ask if he could prove he was himself at that moment and ask questions Lexx couldn’t honestly answer even for himself. Was it really gone?
I would never hurt Chel. It wasn’t me. It was something I wasn’t even aware of. Lexx’s wings fluttered nervously. If he wasn’t aware of it the first time, what if he wasn’t aware of it being there now? The uncertainty was digging into him, even though he couldn’t detect anything inside of him. There were no subtle voices or presences, but knowing that Riane was there and he couldn’t sense her threw more doubt into his being.

The last option is a very bad one, because the logical reply to this is: “How can you be sure that there isn’t anything else there, that you are not aware of?”

Yeah, lexx is gonna learn the hard way, nothing you can say will sound good to an overprotective father.

Not true, “It’s my fault,I’m sorry” tends to work wonders, oddly enough

Maybe the best thing is for Lexx to simply start over again with Vic.
He can’t seem to think of an excuse and he really can’t take any blame with how his code was acting.
Maybe he should allow Vic to ask why he did it. Instead of simply trying to think of an excuse to tell Vic right of the bat. The reasons and answers are already laid out, no reason to rush them at Vic at this point.

I thought you were suppose to go this when you’re trying to talk to the girl, not her dad. 😀

the girl already knows though.. Unfortunately, no matter how he plans on wording it, the conversation will make that one of the worst ways of saying it, and all the planning will go to the wayside. Best just wing it.. in my experience.

This page has me imagining Lexx’s wings fluttering and kinking at odd angles as hes walking and trying to figure out what to say.
Lexx should just go through mom. I find it’s usually safer and involves dodging less bullets (literally in this case).
