Then he turned to Chel and looked at her, a deep blush coloring his cheeks and brow furrowed in a way that made him look remarkably vulnerable. He was being serious. “One more question,…” He smiled nervously, just looking at the human girl. She had beautiful eyes. They shone bright aqua, curious and intense as to what he had to say. “Do you like me at all? Alt,… kiss me.”
Chel was so surprised, she opened her mouth, closed it and did it again. She was speechless at both of the questions. Those weren’t things she had ever expected Lexx to say. Chel felt light headed as she tried to search for the right response and Lexx realized that he probably should not have pushed it. She was giving him a look of being in a situation she didn’t want to be in.
“I’ve only known you ten days, Lexx,… I do like you,… I uhm,.. do, but not like that.” It hurt to say those words and see Lexx’s expression fall as they sunk in. She’d never said anything like that before to anyone. It was forced and the entire time, the same things cropped up in her mind. ‘Why did he ask me that? Why did he have to ask me? And why did I almost go for his dare? I can’t! I can’t! I shouldn’t even consider something like that!’ She couldn’t help but stare at Lexx, watching his jaw line shift as he swallowed hard, then looked away. ‘Wait a minute,.. he trapped me in the questions,… I didn’t have to answer at all. I could have quit.’ And then, it hit her again. ‘It felt good that he asked.’ Warm and tingly, just like a silly fantasy of some guy you could never have actually speaking to you.

Damn those tricksy questions and alts… I’d have liked to see a kiss… but it’s still early… their footing is still too shaky… Loved watching the play of the game though. Never have been a fan of Truth or Dare as my friends wanted to play it, but this one… was relatively harmless

Y U no kiss? I don’t normally type like that, but, this was important enough for me to break my habit. And why didn’t you tell him you liked him at all? You could have said “Maybe a little.” Even using your Chicken (is that what Lexx would call it, or do they have a different term in space?) would have been better, since your answer must have backed up the chance that you guys will have a relationship. Maybe for weeks! Argalblarg.

Man, Chel, you never had the alt be “kiss Claudia”. So much hilarity lost.
