"Hmpth,…."  Lexx's playful mood immediately shadowed.  He looked back to the window and the empty expanse of space.  This was frustrating.  He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the ledge and running his hands roughly through his hair.  "I,… love … Chel."  He spoke the words softly, admitting it to Riley.  It felt good to say the words.  They were free and harmless in front of Riley.  "That is why I can not admit it.  I know I do,… why should I acknowledge that to everyone?  I don't even want to see it myself, but I do.  It's just,… so little time.  So little time together and I just 'know'.  I've heard so many talk about love and how you just 'know'.  For now, it is better this way.  If I tell her,…" There was a pause. "What?"  Riley hated pauses.  "If you tell her?" "Leave me alone, Riley."  Lexx slumped forward and scowled.  He had already said more than he should have.  "You don't understand." Riley grinned, leaning against Lexx and putting his right arm over Lexx's shoulders, careful of his wings. "Try me."  He offered.

    Honestly, they keep forgetting that audioring, don't they? That lovely little confession has just been broadcast over the ADC channels to whoever cares. Claudia will be thrilled, I'm sure.

    1. Ugh, I know, right? There’re just talking about all this stuff out loud, and we’re just over here cringing and willing them to shut up or take it to the relay xD

      1. Yep, let’s just admit I’m in love with someone, broadcasting it to all my enemies, confirming everyone’s suspicions and showing a weakness they can use to exploit me, endangering Chel in the process. What could possibly go wrong? Why should you acknowledge that to everyone, you ask? Well buddy, you just did.
