Victor used his hands to help discourage Vixen from jumping up on him
"Hey, Hey there Vixen, Sit, stay" The lizardman didn't really mind the attention the dog was giving him, but didn't really want Vixen to be licking his face.
"A man named Richard told me about this." Victor studied the other man for a bit while scratching Vixen behind the ears with his hand. "Are you Gaius?" He asked, taking a guess, Richard didn't say anything about Gaius having wings.

Vixen reluctantly let up, though she remained sitting beside Victor and took to leaning against his leg, enjoying the attention.
Gaius looked at Victor interestedly, clearly recognizing Richard's name. He nodded slowly. "Yeah... I'm Gaius. What did Richard say about the project? And..." He smiled sheepishly, "I don't think I've gotten your name yet!"

"I'm Victor" the Lizardman leaned forward to offer his hand to Gaius. "Richard said the theater should be fun, but not much else, we both were having a drink down at the bar by the beach." Victor sighed and leaned back, even with the warm sun on him it did little to really make him feel better.
"Looks like you've been doing a good job on it so far"

Gaius snorted. "Not especially... We were making good progress, but then one of my workers changed on the scene. He ended up breaking another guy's arm, and they both had to be taken care of by the labs..." He shook his precarious head, wings twitching in agitation. "I need to get some help to pick up the pace again..."
Shifting topics, Gaius glanced over Victor's face and, more noticeably, the scales on it, and the tail behind him. "So... some kind of lizard?"

Victor put a hand on Vixen's head, his claws tracing though the dog's fur while he listened to Gaius. "I'm sure things will pick back up...I'd help out if I felt better"
He noticed Gaius glancing over him and nodded his head with a sigh as his tail flicked to the side. "Some type of lizard or reptile yes"

Gaius frowned. Poor guy... "Maybe it's the lizard part that's making you feel bad? Or some kind of flu? I hadn't thought there'd be enough people around here to spread that kind of stuff, but maybe if you got it from the food, or the jungle...?" he offered, watching the man with concern.

Victor stopped petting Vixen for a bit, tapping his claws on his knees instead.
"Probably just something I ate" the Lizard-man said, but didn't sound convinced. he hoped it only was something he ate or the flu, but there was a nagging voice at the back of his head, reminding him that he felt nearly the same, although not as bad, before he changed.
Victor pushed the thought aside, no it couldn't be that he didn't have the hot/cold flashes that he been experiancing since early that morning. He took his gaze off of Gaius and placed his hand back on Vixen's head, scratching the fur. Victor didn't know what was the matter with him and it worried him.

"Maybe..." Gaius said, though he didn't sound sure.
Vixen leaned her head into the scratching, leaning harder and harder against Victor's leg that she finally slid off and rolled over onto her back, waving her paws in the air and in obvious position for a proper belly scratch. Gaius smirked, amused by the scene. Well, if Vixen liked him, he was probably a good guy.
"Have you tried getting some kind of medicine from the clinic?"

Victor shook his head "I don't think I'd be able to keep them down, since last night anything I eat just comes back up" He told Gaius, looking down at Vixen as he took his hand away, not giving the dog the wanted belly scratch. The lizardman rubbed his arms, feeling a bit of a cold chill passing though him.
"I rather wait for right now, just hoping its a twenty four hour sort of thing"

Vixen rolled back to her feet, shooting Victor a turty look before marching off in a huff. Gaius watched her go, raising a curious eyebrow. Such a strange dog... Then he looked back at Victor, his expression one of concern. "That bad? Well, maybe the fresh air will help..."
Having been standing against one of the work piles, Gaius went back to the beams he'd been working on nailing together, picking up hammer and nails again, and set about continuing. If they were just chatting, no reason for him to keep from working too!
"So... Victor, huh?" His speech was punctuated with loud hammers as he drove a nail into the wood. "Haven't seen you around before... what do you keep yourself... busy with... here?"

Victor nodded to Gaius' suggestion of getting fresh air, and quietly watched the man go back to work and ask what he did to keep himself busy.
"I actually talked to Richard a little about that and he helped me get going on something, I was a psychology student and trying to get a doctorate before I came here, and I put a message up on the community board, for people that just want to talk about anything, to try and help them, I even ordered some books"

Gaius looked up, rubbing his forehead on the back of his hand, leaving a smear of dirt on it. "Psychology? So, like if I had some problems, I could lie on one of those couch thingies and rattle about my life to you and you'd tell me how it was all the fault of my disturbed childhood?" His mouth perked up in a playful grin. "I hadn't checked the board lately, you got any responses yet?"

Victor chuckled lightly "Yeah you could lie on the couch and talk all you wanted about any problem you got going" The lizardman smiled "I set it up on the board last night so nobody has come by yet, hope it will be a day or two before anyone does so I can read up on some of my notes"

"Yeeeah, probably not a good idea to have to be checking the reference books every five minutes during the therapy session..." Gaius laughed, tapping another nail held between his fingers.
"I think that's a great idea, though, considering how messed up the island is... I don't know if I could handle telling my secrets and feelings to a stranger... but, eh, it should help some people?"

The Lizardman ignored the comment about checking the reference books
"I wouldn't need to know all of someone's personal life, I like helping people figure out how to help them though the problems they got now, I was an intern at a hospital, talking to patients there"
Victor sighed he knew the island was messed up, and hoped that he could do some good for some of the islanders, it would be better than doing nothing at all
