Back on Damian’s ship, the dice had spread out into small groups to recuperate quietly. Normally, given such a vast environment, there would be a considerable amount of playful fighting, splashing, digging or other activities amongst the dice, but those that were recovering from their battles with Lexx were in no mood for such things. The dice who had battles to look forward to were tense and kept to themselves. And those who were not to fight? They were looking out for their friends and thankful that they themselves had not had to endure the battles.
Most of their injuries were taken care of with the application of temporary nanobots to heal in a controlled manner. Many of the dice had been carefully wrapped and had their more extreme injuries sewn up and closed.
Sirius, Dash and Stealth had found one of the many secluded areas near the pool and were quietly conversing among themselves, at least, Stealth and Dash were. Sirius was curled up sleeping near them.
“Is anyone else thirsty?” Serenity and Swiftpaw stepped slowly around a privacy hedge carrying small buckets with fresh drinking water in them. Serenity set hers down and waited for an answer.
“We’re fine.” Stealth stated wearily. “Take a break, Serenity. You’ve been up all night.”
