Even without people trying to touch him, they were still trying to talk to Lexx as he passed by them.
It was all friendly chatter, but Lexx didn't have time for it. He avoided making eye contact and politely excused himself.
There were so many people. Why had Damian invited so many? Lexx felt a little cross with the sairah now. The crowd was slowing him down and then, he got close enough to see her. Lexx abruptly stopped and stared.
Chel looked so different. She was in a beautiful golden dress with a jewel wrap that wound around her neck and hung over one shoulder. He wondered for a moment who had given her the expensive piece of jewelry, but was immediately brought back to Chel's presence. Her hair had been cut neatly and she was wearing … makeup?
It was amazing how much difference it made, but, Lexx realized, if he didn't know her, he would have just taken her for another one of the boring grabby girls he had to escort in the past.
"Excuse me…" Lexx began to push past another group of people standing between him and Chel. She was busily talking to three men and that fact was suddenly making Lexx feel as though he had to get there faster.

Aww. It’s cute how Lexx likes her better when she looks like herself.
