'Who is Zaile?' Riley considered what he would say, 'I'm not the one to tell Zaile's business,… but what does he want with Lexx? Aside form the usual.'
"I work for him," grumbled Riley, knowing that answer was going to get him a lot more questions later from Lexx, but it was the safe way to go.
Lexx cast Riley a questioning look, but got up to follow Cinka. He could have refused, but something told him he should be agreeable. At least until he figured out what was going on.
Cinka beckoned for Lexx to follow as though he were a dog, which really annoyed him. The only went to the end of the hall, then Cinka turned and patted Lexx on the cheek. "Good boy! Stay!"
Lexx hated being treated like this. His cheeks were burning with anger. He had half a mind to leave and go back to Riley's room.
