Rex hugged her a bit longer, strong arms cradling her tightly. He rocked her back and forth gently then craned his neck to look down at her. "Are you hungry?" He let go of her and came to his feet, "Or do you just want to go to your duplex? I'll walk yeh." His eyebrows rose while he awaited an answer, looking to the makeshift grave quickly, then back to the girl.

Amaya greatfully stayed in his arms the entire time, taking in his unique scent and comforting embrace. For her it parted all too soon.
She looked up at him, then to the graves. For a few moments she stared at them, saying a prayer in her head for her parents and grandmother. Then she turned back to Rex.
"I'm not really hungry, no... I wouldn't mind being walked back to my room though." She smiled a little and stood up as well.

Rex was slightly happy she didn't want to go eating, he knew he needed a shower and was slightly embarassed by his stench at the moment. Flowery fresh was much better than gnarly BO. "Alrighty," he smiled, pausing in front of the grave once more before starting to walk off into the forest, "let's go then."
Eventually, the two neared duplex 22. At the door, Rex took Amaya in his arms for a last time and pecked her on the head sweetly. "Y'know, I stand by what I said on the beach. If you ever need me, I'm always here. The island isn't very big." He chuckled then stepped back. "Catch yeh later!" he flashed a hand in a wave then headed back to his own duplex for yet another shower. He'd have to scout out a good location for that grave...

For the most part Amaya walked by him in silence, stopping once they were in front of her door. She returned the hug with gusto and then pulled back to look up at him.
One of the rare, genuine smiles graced her scaley features as she nodded to him.
"Bye Rex..." She said quietly with a wave of her hand. Green eyes watched him vanish around the corner and she stood there in silence for a few moments before turning around and going back into her duplex.

New RP
The sun was bright, the air was clean, and the waves were low but steady. Lauren had decided it was a good day to relearn surfing. She wanted to go out on her own and get things known before she invited Rex along later.
For the mongoose, this was harder than she thought. Her new legs proved difficult for her to move at high speeds which made it hard to go out into the surf with her board in the first place. After much practice or some dumb luck, she was finally able to catch a small wave. Overly excited, she tried to stand up but imediately fell off the board wipeing out.
It was frustrating but fun at the same time. And Lauren was stubbourn enough to keep at it all day if she had to.

Well, it was a shame that Lauren did wouldn't get what she wanted as Rex jogged down the beach as usual on his daily run. Sweat began to glisten on his body while he tried to regulate his breathing for the maximum cardio work-out.
The tide was nice, smooth and easy riding for any surfer. But Rex cursed his lack of a board under his breath. Until he saw a body protrude the top of one of the small waves. A SURFER! Rex increased his jog to a run, he craved a smooth ride. Coming to a stop, he saw the furry blonde out in the ocean. Tough wipeout. He smiled and waved at her from the shore. Maybe he'd get in and give her some pointers. The cool ocean waters was sounding awfully nice about now.

Lauren spotted Rex off on the shore. Damnit, he saw her oh well. So much for not looking like a complete clutz.
She waved back from the ocean, trying to run out with her board but stumbling over her feet... again. They were huge and it was hard to get used to, especially in the wet sand. At least on land Lauren could manage a leaping type step. But not in the sand.
The orange eyed girl finally managed to make it up to her feet as she steped onto the shore, "HEY!" She yelled.

Rex chuckled as she stumbled her way onto shore clumsily. Recognizing it was Lauren, he yelled, "Whats up?!" He took a few steps forward in the sand so she didn't have to come so far with her big board. Seeing her closer, he realized something different about her. Did she have as much fur last time? "Did you change?" He said calmly, he didn't know how she felt about the island or the things that happened here.

Lauren planted her board on the beach, "Not much, attempting to relearn surfing." Then he asked if she changed. Lauren gawked at that. It was only extremly obvious.
"No.. I didn't you were just hallucinating that I was furless back when I met you."
Her black lips curled up in a smile as she looked him up and down. "I see you've grown a tail and some fur yourself." She wasn't careful with pointing it out because if he would freak out, it would just be amuseing to watch.

"Relearn, eh? Well I'll gladly give you some pointers, if you want them." He smile, sizing up her board. It was a fair size and obviously new. And just the right size since there was only a couple inch difference between Rex and Lauren.
Her quick remark caught him off guard, "Ooh, touche." He bounced his eyebrows playfully and crossed his arms, glad to say that he'd changed. "Oh you mean this old thing?" He grabbed his tail and looked at it curiously. "Hmm, you're right. It wasn't there a few days ago." A snide smile stretched his lips, then he scratched his chest, "but oh, this isn't new at all."

Lauren shrugged. "Whatever it's just that, these big ******** feet make it hard." She lifted up a leg to show just what she was talking about. "I would walk just on my toes, but they aren't large enough for that just yet."
She laughed a bit at the bad joke. "That's really scary. Maybe you were part... lion before?" The question happened more at the lion part. The tail kind of gave it away. "But I'm not one to talk seeing as it covers my whole body now."
Lauren put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow... or at least that part of muscle where an eyebrow used to be. "So... why aren't you pissed off about changing like all the others?" Her tail swished around, it was doing that lately as she spoke as if it were talking itself.

"Ahh, well.. at least it'll be a nice work-out for your calves!" Walking or running on your toes was a good way to get some bulk on your legs, "And hey, who needs that whole 'ability to move' thing anyway?" He chuckled, trying to think about a day where he simply couldn't walk anywhere, though he'd been lucky enough to have never experience something that terrible. "Do you know what animal you're turning into?" Rex's only hint at the animal that he could draw from Lauren's appearance was the fur and the tail. But alot of things had fur and a tail!
The thought of being part lion as a kid was interesting. He tried to imagine little anima-children running around on the playground... there'd most likely be quite alot of injuries. What would happen if the islanders had kids? He preferred not to think about it. He nodded his head at her lion remark, "Yeah, I think it- er.. I'm a lion. Though I don't have a mane, yet..." He trailed off, how long would it take for the transformation to be complete?
He huffed a laughed and said, "Well.. whats the purpose about being pissed off about it? It won't do you any better, just make you stay here worse!" He shrugged, his optimism coming into play once again. He uncrossed his arms and scratched his head, not really concerned about the changes. He leaned into her and muttered, "To tell you the truth... I kind of like it." HOO BOY! that feels good to get off my chest. he said it quietly as if it was some big secret, he hadn't told anyone else about his feelings to the changes before. But this girl seemed unphased by the changes as well. It just sort of flew from him. "But what about you, huh? You seem pretty relaxed about it as well." All of the other islanders had thought so negatively about the changes, it was nice to meet someone with a change of taste.

"I'd rather be active. I will learn the best way to walk eventually I'm sure." She couldn't stay still for too long, it would drive her nuts. Besides Lauren wasn't doing too bad with her new long feet. "I'm becomming a yellow mongoose. It's not one of those basic animals that everyone knows about I suppose ya know like lion." She pointed to her horns, "These are extra... I'm not sure what animal these are from though." Lauren said proudly. She liked having something odd about her that wasn't quite right, as if becoming a mongoose girl wasn't enough.
Lauren let out a playful bark, "THAT was exactly my thoughts on it. Well, it's kind of awesome, like body art to the extreme or something. And this has been one of the better times of my life by far. Moreau saved me from a lot back at home." Lauren smiled, "It's nice to FINALLY meet someone that likes being changed." It was frustrating that none of the other islanders were enjoying the process. "Moreau is a genous and gives us a lot really, I don't see why people are just so pissed off in the first place."

"A mongoose? That's like a ferret, right?" He said, looking her up and down once more. That made sense. He tapped her horns lightly and chuckled, "They add a nice touch!"
Rex stretched his arms high above his head, his body finally cooling down from his run. Becoming a lion was going to be interesting. Rex wondered how much of a lion he's become, would he end up having something bonus in his injection? Only time would tell.
He screwed up his face at her remarks at the other islanders, "So they're all against Moreau huh?" He thought about it for a second. Rex didn't really have a side, for or opposing the docters, he was just living life as best he could. "I can see where they're coming from. Alot came without knowing what would happen, right? I didn't really have a choice at all." The memory of the night on the cruise ship with Avery replayed in his mind like a movie. Avery the damsel sliding over the boat's edge. Who would've thought that that night would end up being his last in the 'outside world'. "Though it really is nice here. We sure are treated better than I imagined we would. It was a daunting thought when we first heard about what happens here."

Lauren shrugged, "They aren't really in the same family at all. Mongoose is part of the Herpestidae family and ferrets are mustelidae." Those science lessons payed off sometimes. "They do look similar in some ways and do have some form of musk glands." She winced at the horn tap, "Thanks." It kind of hurt a tiny bit, the headache had mostly gone away by now but came back for a short period of time when her horns were touched.
"Not like I had much of a choice either, I had no clue I would be an animal girl. Just thought I was finding food and shelter at the cost of being testing out some new harmless medical drugs. Looks like I was partially right. But hey, I still like it. Not that I had left anything behind." She couldn't find sympathy for those who did however.
