Lexi was relieved to see the trio come in the door. She smiled softly at Neo but it was Yukina that triggered a chord in her.<br/><br/>"Lexi-san, are you alright?" Yukina concernedly asked her. "Did they hurt you?"<br/><br/>Lexi returned her bow and felt tears well up in her eyes at the small Asian woman’s inquiry. She nodded but moved closer to her. Something about her radiated calm and Lexi drank it in, grateful for it, even when she didn’t quite understand what caused it.<br/><br/>“I’m fine but the skull is gone. I guess one of them put it in her purse. I saw them, the old ladies, go into the back. I thought they might be looking for the restroom. But when I tried to stop them, the man stepped in my way. His eyes….” She shuddered.<br/><br/>They walked back to where the men were huddled around and Lexi realized that they were sharing the information about summoning that demon with Sid. Lexi didn’t notice that she did, but she stood close to Neo, once again unconsciously taking in the strength that he exuded. She frowned. Yukina did that with calm and Neo did it with strength. A thought flitted through her brain to wonder what Mr. von Engels radiated.<br/><br/>“Neo, that man’s eyes really gave me the creeps. Do you think he was the demon? I mean the one you said we needed to summon? What do you think they mean to do with the skull?”<br/><br/>Sid pulled out a cigar and put it, unlit in his mouth. He growled around it,<br/><br/>“There are several things that can be done with it. The biggest concern we have to have is that we need the skull to break the curse. It is gone and we must get it back. I should have had you shot last night. You are inept and more trouble than you are worth.” He said, taking the cigar out and pointing at her with it between his fingers.
