Lexx rested his head on the pillow in rare bliss. He could not recall ever feeling so good and relaxed. "Why?" He suddenly spoke, pushing himself up to face Chel.
"Huh?" She smiled at him.
"Why are you here?" Lexx looked directly into her eyes.
"I want to be. Why?" Chel looked back, crossing one le over the other and leaning over it.
"You don't have to be here," There was confusion in Lexx's voice. Why was she here? She didn't have any reason to be here.
"I don't have to be, but I want to," Chel replied, still smiling. She was trying to be consoling and making Lexx feel better. She also meant it.
"But why?" Lexx was beginning to think he was asking the wrong question, but he couldn't think of any other way to phrase it.
"What do you mean?" Now Chel was beginning to get confused and a little worried about where the conversation was going.
