It was dark by the time Chel, Andrea and Kalvin returned home. And someone was waiting for them. Lexx had not been waiting for long although it had felt like an eternity. Swiftpaw and Drift had insisted on coming down with him since they were present when Chel had been injured. They had been pestering Lexx the entire time.
"Lexx?" Chel had hoped he would be there, but had not expected him. "I didn't expect to see you here." She grinned happily. The pain killers the doctor had her on made her feel really relaxed and calm.
"It didn't take me long to clean up." Lexx shrugged, walking up to Chel. Swiftpaw and Drift were already to their feet and bouncing happily toward Chel.
Andrea twirled the car keys around her finger and smirked at her older sister, "You know what dad would say about a boy here this late at night."
"Shoo!" Chel smirked, playfully pushing Andrea toward the living room door.
Lexx smiled slightly. Both Swift and Drift were standing up with their forepaws on Chel. Swift nuzzled and licked Chel's hands excitedly as she pushed him down. Drift was less of an annoyance since the only thing he couldn't even reach Chel's knees.
"Did they heal you? How do you feel? Are you hurting?" Lexx steadied his voice, disguising deeper concern. The shirt Chel was wearing was covering her shoulder. He could not see any bandages.
"My shoulder hurts, but it's okay," smiled Chel "They gave me some pain killers to take care of the pain."
"That is good to hear." Lexx nodded "I was worried that you were seriously hurt."
I’m going to chalk up Chel’s face in that last panel as the influence of the painkillers, and not suggest that she might be a little too enthusiastic about getting prescription narcotics.
