"It's okay, Chel,.. where are Fly and Drift?" Chel smiled nervously as Lexx spoke. It made her uneasy that he did not react the way she expected him too.
"They're good." Chel stood up so she didn't have to keep looking up at Lexx. "Fly went up a level…" She hesitated and thought better of saying what was on her mind. 'Should I tell Lexx about Dr. Hobbes? No,… no need to worry him,.. but,…' It was unnecessary to bring up Dr. Hobbes immediately, but she did start to tell him about the previous night.
"Excellent," That little bit of news brightened Lexx's thoughts. At least something good had come out of it. "I'm sorry if they caused you any trouble. I didn't want to wake you up and they were very insistent in staying here." It seemed easier to keep himself under control just looking at the concerned expression on Chel's face.
"Lexx,… Stealth got hit by a car. She was chasing Fly,…" Chel spoke slowly, searching Lexx's face for any change in mood. There was a slight glint of something in his eyes, then it was wiped away. His face was unusually soft and attentive. To Chel, he almost looked like he was drugged. "People saw her." She waited.
