Amaya blinked and raised a brow. Wow. He was easy to convince... she just wished she was that carefree in believing what she said. But there was no need to scare the punk. The happier he was about the whole thing, the better.
"Chubbs is a friend of mine. I think I was the one who told him about the island... He's a big guy. Look like he's turning into a bear but is actually turning into that and a wolverine and a... tasmanian devil, I think?" She tried to recall their conversation that happened so long ago in the cafeteria.

Alec continued to swivel back and forth on his stool, sometimes kicking off the floor to spin an entire circle like it was actually entertaining him or something. "D' they do i' on pehpose? Make pehple 'ave angreh animals t'make them angreh?" He couldn't figure out any other explaination for combining three ill-tempered animals together and administering them on a subject. Why would they want to have their hands full?

"I'm... not really sure. That seems like the case though, doesn't it?" The iguana tapped the side of her soda can with a claw, causing a metalic "clink" to echo from the inside. "I think they enjoy toying with our minds. Hell knows they seem to pull enough sick jokes on us."
Amaya frowned, not even realizing how much she was confiding in the boy sitting across from her. "You've probably heard about the lockout. If not from me then from someone else..." Her frown deepened. "Y'know, I was sleeping soundly in my bed and the next thing I wake up to is a crashed helicopter next to me with two charred bodies inside?" Piercing green eyes glared at the floor. "I didn't know that they were fake until it was all revealed to be just some sick experiment..."
Her expression turned more sad and somber. "It scared the s**t out of me..."

The punk teen wrinkled his nose as much as he could, the look of disgust still acheived as a result. "Ewwwwww." Was his initial reaction, ceasing his spinning as he became enthrawled in the story. "Weh they all gutsy an' shite?" The irish kid was no doubt a teenage boy from how he was taking the news in morbid fascination. He was amazed they had bothered to go as far as plant fake dead people to confuse the islanders. The question was no doubt retorical, definite by his moving along with the subject. "Thas twisted 'n all fronts." Oblivious to Amaya's look of upset, he starting to wish he'd been there for that one, forgetting the bad things he'd heard about it.

"Christ, no." The girl's eyes widdened as she looked over at Alec. "If they were I woulda gone insane." Seeing her parents twisted around the metal of the insides of their car was ENOUGH in a lifetime, kthx.
She took another long gulp of the soda. "Tell me about it..." Amaya sighed. "I almost froze to death during it too. It started raining and since I'm cold-blooded y'know, I didn't make it back to camp in time. Thankfully Chubbs and two others found me and carried me back."

"'E's a goo' mate then." Alec nodded, already deciding this guy was alright without ever meeting him. Sure, he was bound to have his fits but it was probably not that bad.
"'Ou betteh intro me t'soom more o' ye frien's!" He decided quite abruptly, looking rather warm n' fuzzy at the moment. "A' bet on me own a' 'aven't met 'alf th' pehple 'n this place." He chuckled again but knew it was probably true.

"I will, don't worry. I'll have to draw you to his duplex sometime. You'll have to remind me." The lizard smiled and drank the rest of her soda. "And to be honest, I'm still running into people that I don't know sometimes... though unfortunatly, they're normally new and get freaked out."
She paused, realizing she had just grouped Alec in that section of people. "Sorry that I'm dumping this on you. I juat have a bad habit of letting it all spill out, y'know?" Another forced smile.

It was Alec's turn to wave it off, finishing his can of pop and tossing it over his shoulder to miss the waste basket. "Iss'ekay. I's betteh fo' ye t'talk 'bout i', righ'?" Unfortunately he wasn't really one to openly admit his fears and concerns, when he did they were mostly obscured by pointless questions.

"I suppose." Amaya wiggled her can before tilting her head back to get the little bit that might have been left. Once she had done that, she looked at the soda can and flickered her large, pink tongue. Soda didn't seem to satisfy her as much as it used to...
"So what about you?" She met his eyes again. "Anything you wanna talk about?" Placing the can between her palms she pressed them together. With a resounding CRUNCH the can was squished flat and then held between her fingers.

He blankly stared at the crushed can for a moment before shaking his head in amusement. "Neh... no' th' talkin type." He was such a horrible liar.
"Ye know wha' DOES botheh me though." He pointed to Amaya as if he had to reassure that she was giving him her complete attention. "Evrehone a' meet... Heh." He stopped short and smirked to himself before continuing. "C'nt fo' th' life o' them tell me wha' 'am turnin in'teh. Bu' evreh'one sees me teeth n' thinks amma kill 'em." This obviously bothered him although he'd spoken about it before with Amaya. "An' a d'n wanna ask, yanno. Evrehtime a' 'ere abou' th' staff, is how bda theh are! Fook them." He snorted once and let his voice die. He really didn't want to talk about this. Why did he have to bring it up?

Not the talking type, eh? The other teen couldn't help but smirk, giving him her undivided attention while she absently twirled the crushed can between her fingers like a dime or a quarter slowly.
"Well, normally it's hard to tell just after the first change." She admitted honestly. "But I still think your turning into a shark... as for the patches... I dunno." Amaya looked at them for a moment before moving on. "And the other islanders are probably just wary. Normally when someone grows teeth, an attitude comes with it. Don't mind them though." She frowned, looking a little angry. "They shouldn't be one to judge you. If they do, they're just being hypocrites"
The reptile rolled her eyes at the sheer thought of it. "And I know about the whole staff thing... I try not to get in their way or contact them. Kind of allows me to slip off their radar."
Ugh, she was talking too much. Something in the back of her mind seemed to slap her and tell her to shut up. Be quiet. But for now, she seemed to be trying her best to ignore it. People had been saying how quiet she was getting... that wasn't her. Amaya used to talk all the time. And be damned if some animal DNA would stop her from doing that.

Alec nodded, once again accepting her explainations and bouts of reassurance for face value. Somehow that was enough by itself to satiate him. "Ye, yo righ'. Always righ'." He chuffed a laugh, stretching out his back while still remaining poised on the stool.
Glancing out the window, the punk teen suddenly realized how late it must've been. He must've been talking too much, asking Amaya to walk herself home wouldn't be right. And like hell was he going to walk here there and then back alone! Pfft. "'Ey, y'wanna sleep oveh?" He asked out of the blue with a grin, thinking it nothing to offer a friend a place to crash. She was just a friend anyways.

The green iguana laughed a little. Always right her a**. She was about to retort when she was stopped by the offer. Unfortunatly for her, she took it a little more seriously then him. Though not overly so... she wasn't stupid. And she wasn't self-confident enough to think it be anything more then that. Just friends.
Her heart had jumped into the throat, fluttered there for a few moments, and then dropped right into her stomach as all her thoughts came at once. There was no way Alec could like her more then that. Who could?
"Yeah, sure." Amaya couldn't hide the odd, displaced look on her face as she looked out the window as well. "Guess I talk too much, eh?" The look then vanished as quick as it had come, replaced by her normal smile. "It's not good for me to walk after dusk anyway... gets too cold out."
"You really don't mind?" She raised a non-exhistant brow.

"No' wi' crazehs wandeh'n abou'." He added, chuffing a laugh as he got up from his seat. "Neh, s'cool." The punk teen wandered over to a reasonably-sized area in the room and started picking up the scattered clothes that strewn it's place. He didn't even consider offering his bed. Nope, she got the comfy floor. "All ge' soom blankets." And with that Alec wandered off to collect some, and maybe a spare pillow.

"Thanks." The girl didn't even think about being offered the bed. It was his room, afterall... and she had slept on worse.
After getting her place next to his bed sitiuated, she laid down on her stomach, her form curling oddly in it's somewhat in-between stage of human and beast.
---
They chatted a little before eventually, both of them fell asleep.
