Alec awoke later that morning, arm awkwardly slung over his face to hide his eyes from the bright sunlight that was now streaming through his open window. Birds were chirping, giving the feeling that the island was alive and bustling independantly from the still and quiet duplex.
The teen sat up in his bed, irritatedly rubbing at his eyes, then his flattened nose before slipping his legs over the edge. The rough skin around his knees, elbows and neck were stiff and drying out, becoming unpliable. Not wanting to wake up Amaya, he made his way into the bathroom to shower as quietly as the uncouth punkster could manage.

Amaya was still sleeping rather soundly when Alec woke up. If he were to look at her too long, then he might have noticed that her scales looked a little... pale.
Like every duplex, his was sported with an airconditioner that greatly differed from the hot tempature outside. However, it was normally kept a lot colder then what the green iguana needed to stay active and warm.
Thankfully though, Alec really sucked at being quiet. Amaya could hear the cans and clothing being pushed out of the way or stepped over as he made his way to the bathroom and she opened her eyes. She still looked amazingly tired, and didn't say anything at the moment, but she watched him with half-lided eyes.
Ugh... it was cold... so tired...

Alec wasn't in the bathroom long, having been in there for only the short amount of time that was needed to wet himself. Ugh. Showering. Who did that?
Thankfully he had enough decency to snatch a pair of shorts before retreating to the bathroom so that he wouldn't have to don a towel on the way out. Barely noticing that Amaya was indeed awake, he came back out to rummage through his piles of clothing for something to wear, however mismatched it would turn out to be. "Uh hey, ye awake." He waved to the Amaya once he noticed she was awake, not realizing just how bad she looked. "Need a showeh o' somethin?"

The girl watched him, though said nothing until she was noticed. Slowly, very slowly, she shook her head. "No... I... think I need to... get out into the sun." Blinking, she gradually pushed herself onto her elbow and closed her eyes for a moment before she slowly turned herself into a sitting postion.
Her tail dragged limply behind all her motions, as she seemed to be working in slow-mo.

He went back to what he was doing, merely nodding to her response as he searched for the left blue sock that was evading him entirely. "A-HA!" He loudly triumphed when he found it laying at the opposite side of the room by the door.
As he worked to put it on, he noticed the lizard girl's sluggish movements and pale complexion. In short, she looked half-comatose. "Wuh was tha'?" He hadn't even been paying attention. "Sun? ... uh... ekay." He didn't want to fuss in case it would upset her but she looked very sick for some reason, so he moved quickly over to the door and got his boots on in hopes she'd be motivated enough to follow.

Amaya was too tired to really say much more to him. She stayed in her sitting position for a few more moments before finally using the edge of the bed to help herself up.
Looking very much like an elderly woman, or someone who had just got out of a hospital bed, she made her way over towards the door where Alec was waiting.

To Alec, this behavior was very unusual to him and he couldn't quite grasp what was happening at all. She'd been fine when they both went to sleep, maybe she was hungover or having morning sickness or something? He was starting to wonder if he should've given her the bed instead last night...
"Aye, ye ekay?" He mumbled as he let her go out first, thinking the entire time that sunlight wouldn't exactly be good for either of the ailments he was thinking of.

"Yeah, yeah... I'm fine..." The lizard tried to wave off his worry, her tail dragging behind her until she was outside. There she picked a spot that sunlight had already warmed and sat down.
Almost instantly she could feel the sun warming her scales, seeping into her skin and warming her body awake. "Sorry... I forgot about the air conditioning in most rooms." Amaya frowned, green eyes looking over at Alec. Already her scales seemed to be slowly turning greener and more healthy looking.

Alec shrugged it off, as he still didn't understand what she was getting at. Not bothering to ask, the punk teen slumped down onto a patch of grass and pulled out a cigarette. He left the door to his duplex wide open so that the morning air could waft in, quickly replacing the lighter into his short pockets. The sun was nice on his bare skin, small trickles of water still running off his wet and unruley hair to land on the grey discoloured skin of his neck.
Taking a deep breath in, he decided to break the silence and ruin the serenity that was a quiet morning on the Island. "So wha' ye g'na do t'day?" Maybe it'd give him an idea of what to do himself.

"Good question." The teen said quietly as she looked around. "I'm thinking about taking a swim when it's a little warmer out. Don't need to end up froze to death moreso then I was a minute ago." She smirked, her eyes loosing their fatigue to be replaced with energy.
"I think I heard a pinball machine when I went to eat the other day... maybe they put in some more games in the entertainment room or something. Guess it won't hurt to check that out too." Amaya rested her chin on her large palm.
"What about you?" She looked over at Alec again.

"Aaaaa' d'neh." The irishboy sighed and leaned back until he was resting against the outer wall of his duplex. His stomach was starting to growl, a large breakfast was in order. "Some'un shou' kick soom ball on th'beach o' somethin, s'gettin borin 'round this place wi' neh more staffs gettin attack'd." He laughed at his own joke, finding it all too amusing seeing as he was barely involved in the whole ordeal. It wasn't his fault he was a mischevious teen looking for trouble, by nature.

She snorted. "Y'mean soccer or something?" The reptile asked, not familiar with the other term used. "That'd be fun, I think... I dunno if they have any balls around though. We could check in the rec room... after breakfast, of course." She smirked and then looked down at her feet.
Her long, almost finger-like toes dug into the ground slightly then curled up. "Think I'd still be able to play? With my feet 'n all..." It actually seemed like one of the few sports she was still capable of doing.

Alec gave a deep frown, looking to the reptile girl suddenly. "'course ye c'n play. We'll all joost... run sloweh. Or somethin." He huffed in response to her unsureness. If she let herself believe she couldn't do anything then he could imagine her sitting inside all day for the rest of her life. Like... Nita did or something. "Lizehds roon fast." The blatant fact wasn't even based on personal knowledge.
"Ye, maybeh we c'n gatheh soom playehs up." The teen continued on, as he picked at the laces of his boots and swatted a fly away from his bare back. It was more of a wish than something he'd actually do himself.

Amaya couldn't help but smile, though she wasn't exactly sure she could place why.
"We can probably convince Ambrose to play. Colche too, if we teach her how." Her tail gave a twitch and curled as best it could around her. "I guess we can do that today, if your up for it." The iguana looked over at him. "Look for a ball and if we can find one, look for a team?"

Alec nodded slowly, taking in what she was saying. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to try and organize a game. If he was bored, he bet a lot of other people were bored too. "Aye!" He suddenly snapped his fingers, pointing to Amaya as his eyes went wide. "A' met a guy, 'e likes playin football." Though he couldn't remember his name for the life of him, he remembered that he was living in the duplex nearby.
As he thought about this his stomach growled again and this time he couldn't deny himself the urge to go eat. "Amma 'ead teh th'caf though. 'Am starvin!"
