"Lexx!" Damian barely had it off when they heard Claudia's high pitched voice echo down the hall. Apparently her 'lexxy' sense had gone off.
Lexx snatched the coat from Damian's hands and threw it over his head. Maybe he could outrun her to his personal quarters. He hoped there was a lock on them and for a moment cursed himself for not going there in the first place. Oh yes. Mud. Lots of mud that he didn't want anywhere near the nice things in his set of rooms.
"Stay away!" Lexx shouted as he dashed past Claudia. He hoped that she couldn't see him very well with the coat covering him. "I'm covered in -" He had intended to say mud, but just at that moment Mischief darted by Claudia and ended up under Lexx's feet. "Mishchief!!" Lexx tripped over the long dice and crashed to the floor.
Damian winced. He could hear Lexx muttering and Claudia overeagerly offering help.
"I tried." Damian shrugged and turned to the window.
At least the weather was nice and would probably remain that way for the day and evening.
