"It's,… sweet that you're concerned,…" Lexx did not really hear what Chel was saying, just her tone of voice. He leaned forward, lifting his right hand. Lexx wanted to touch her, but reading her questioning eyes, decided to brush a stray strand of hair out of his face.
Chel's thoughts melted away in Lexx's eyes. He was just standing there, looking at her… and they were alone. Lexx took a step closer.
"I uhm,.. don't think there's any problem," Chel began speaking again, wanting to get rid of the silence, "It was dark and I told them she was a dog. But they probably shouldn't be here for awhile,… neither should you," Lexx wasn't listening. "And Lexx,…" Chel trailed off. Lexx was still looking directly at her, a strange little smile fixed across his face.
