Chel watched as more streaks of light lit the sky. It was amazing to imagine that it was Sythe. He was searching for Skri. Swiftpaw nimbly hopped on top of a rock, watching the sky. He had other things on his mind. The fox licked his jowels. He had seen images of Skri before they left… as well as his specs. 'Yumyumyumyum … imagine the eggs Skri could lay…'
Lexx walked up next to Chel, but didn't look at her. It still felt a little awkward to speak to her, but he had to. "It's … uhm … very pretty here, isn't it, Chel?" He began conversationally.
"It's pretty where you come from too," smiled Chel, still gazing at the sky and thinking about the view from Lexx's ship.
"I guess so…" Lexx shrugged. He really didn't find it that beautiful, but he was also used to it.
"…" Chel pondered what she should say next. She had questions and felt she had the right to ask them now. "So … Lexx, why do you keep everyone away? What happened? Riley told me you weren't always like this." More questions escaped from her mouth than she had initially intended to ask.
"…" Lexx's mouth opened a moment, unsure of what to do. Some of the things he could say to answer the questions, were not things he should say. "Riley should learn to keep his mouth shut."
