Awen blushed even more. A wink? Did he wink?? Oh by creation that wasn't helping her any. Once he shut the door she took a big breath. What were you doing Awen Sira Syn? What kind of girl are you anyway! You cannot very well have a grudge on Antony if you're going to be going arond like this! Well... Not that... you have a grudge on Antony anymore. That was being settled.
She sighed softly and just changed quickly. She put her wet, and rather ruined, clothes on the back of her chair. She doubted she would ever wear them again...but...it was a good enough place for now. She hear Avery was busy with water and stuff and figured he was cleaning up a little so too kthe time to get reaquainted with her room. "I'm good now Avery any time!"
When finally she got to her bed she sat on the side with the picture of her parents. She picked it up slowly and felt almost like the tears would return. It was a bright sunny day with the two of them posing before their boat. The boat they died in. She ran a thumb across teh glass surface of the frame. It had been so long. She often felt ashame of her fear of water when she looked at that picture, remembering how much her parents loved it. But without that fear to occupy Awen realised she felt quite empty. She didn't realise before just how much her parents death meant. She missed them, and thought life would be better with them of course. But she never thought of feeling so.....alone. Empty...

With once last glance in the mirror, Avery opened the door and stepped back out into the room. "I feel better already... but I could definately use a shower tomorrow," he said, grinning... and then he noticed Awen sitting on her bed, looking at a photograph, and Avery's grin faded.
He walked over to the bed and sat down beside her, leaning over to look at the photo she was holding in her hands. "Ah.. are they your parents?" Avery asked. He missed his parents too... he wondered what they were doing now. Were they trying to find him..?

Awen glanced over her shoulder, she had been lost in her own little world and forgotten about Avery for a second there. "Oh, um...yeah." She set the picture back down on her nightstand.
She smiled a little bit and attempted to change the subject, thoguh her tone remained semi-flat. "Oh hey, see now your hair looks much better. I have a brush on my desk..."
Brush. Yeah right. There was no way Awen was going to unknot her tangle mess anymore. Not that she was thinking much about that at the moment.

"Huh? Oh, thanks," Avery said. He stood back up and went over to the desk and used Awen's brush to brush out his hair. He didn't spend a long time on it, figuring he could just really brush it out after a shower tomorrow. He really just wanted to get some sleep. When he was satisfied that he got rid of most of the tangles and he looked semi-decent, he put the brush back down and went back over to the bed, plopping down on it.
"Thanks again for sharing your bed," Avery smiled, and he scooted back on the bed, laying down on the far side to give Awen room to lay down as well. He obviously had no problem with sharing beds with people.

((Continued from the Ambrose Pack thread))
Rex turned to the girl who he seemed to miss her name, "Uh yeah, I washed up on shore a few days ago." The thought of the darkness and tumbling through the ocean clouded his mind. He could almost taste the salt water. "What was your name again?" He questioned politely.
"Cameras? Sheesh.." He sighed, becoming slightly paranoid about this Moreau guy. "I take it the people that run this island are a bit controlling to say the least?"
He followed suit after the girls and bee-lined the direction Ian had come from.
Eventually they arrived in the village and boy did the cafeteria smell good. Rex chuckled, "So since they obviously know I'm here, I wonder if I've got living quarters yet."

Ian had followed them back to the village staying close to Amaya. Rex was right, the other girl hadn't introduced herself. Not that he minded, he wasn't sure how many more names he could remember and put to faces. "If you want a shower, my duplex is that way." Ian ponted and shrugged. He didn't mind letting Rex use his shower, especially if Rex didn't have his own duplex. "Otherwise those duplexes have been previously vacant." He gestured towards some of the other duplexes. "Thou can always just claim one for yerself."
He yawned and looked at the cafeteria yearningly. He wanted a tomato, he hadn't had one of those in a long while. He smiled at Amaya, "dost thou want food or a shower first?"

Lily smiles, "We were worried, Amaya. It's good to see you moving.." she would say 'moving again' but she hadn't really met her before. She glances back at Rex when he explains how he got here, her eyes widening a bit.
"That's awful, atleast-" she hesitates, "atleast you're alright, if being here counts.."
Then he asks for her name, and she frowns. She'd forgotten to introduce herself!
"I'm sorry, my name is Lily" she looks at Rex, then at Ian and Amaya. She hadn't formally introduced herself to Amaya either, and now it seemed like the right thing to do. She slows down when they reach the village, the smell of the cafeteria quite encouraging. Life could return to the somewhat normal it had been before, though she hadn't had much time in her duplex before.
"I don't think anyone was in the upstairs of my duplex," she murmurs, looking towards the unoccupied duplexes- near which she spots her own..

"I wouldn't doubt it." Amaya said, trying to sound a little happy even though she was failing miserablly. "You can use my intercom to contact them... they'll probably get you more clothes too."
Green eyes blinked and looked to Ian. She felt somewhat normal when he was around and really was grateful he was here. "Food doesn't sound too bad, actually." He could probably tell she had lost a bit of weight due to being out in the wild for some time. Even though fruit had been in good supply, it wasn't as nutritious as getting her greens and fruit. Especially apples. And strawberries. Ohhh god strawberries. Her stomach grumbled at the thought.
"Yeah, the rain stopped so I think I'm back to normal... as normal as I can get anyway." She frowned, but glanced back at Lily and gave her a tiny, genuine smile. "Thanks for saving me the night before. You and Chubbs. I dunno if I'd have died there or not... it felt like it, though."

"Oh, that's awfully kind of you, Ian! Thanks for the offer. Let me check out the vacant duplexes and I'll get back to you." Rex jogged down the road towards the empty buildings and checked the name plates. He found Lily's and ran up the stairs, there he saw Avery's name. Whoa.. okay.. Since we arrived at the same time... He ran next door and checked there. His heart gave a bounce and a plummet when he found Duplex 35 with a name plate and writing that scrawled "Rex Vadnais". They really do know I'm here.
He found a key in front of the door, slipped it in the slot and turned. The door opened with a click and he peeked his head inside. He was shocked The entire room was fully furnished with everything he needed for living and it actually looked quite accomidalbe.
He locked the door and slipped the key in his pocket, then ran back other to the group. "Uh... there's a Duplex with my name on it." He gulped, it looks like I'm here to stay." He smiled nervously at the other three. "But a shower can wait, food sounds amazing right now."

Ian nodded and gave a sad smile to Rex. He was sorry he had to stay on the island, but glad he was taking it alright.
He looked at Amaya and smiled. "Yeah, food sounds great. Tomatoes especially for me, but. . ." Ian's ears twitched. He shivered suddenly but he didn't know what from. His knees started to feel weak and he wanted to throw up. "I think. . .I think I'll go back to my duplex. Of a sudden I don't feel very well." He turned away from the cafeteria and on very shaky legs staggeredback to his duplex. He barely managed to make it to his bathroom before throwing up violently.

Lily smiles back at Amaya, not seeming to worry much about how she's changed now, just glad she has a more genuine expression, "I couldn't just leave you there, I'm just glad I came across you, and then Chubbs. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you're up and about too." She watches as Rex jogs off to inspect the duplexes, watching him go right up to hers and then around to another.
"Wow," she mutters, "They're quick.." she trails off. They were either very quick, or they hadn't really been gone the whole time.
She nods slowly, thinking about food. It did sound good, but.. she felt more of a need to rest comfortably and be clean. Maybe it was her stomach making her feel less hungry than she ought to, and she coughs lowly as she watches Ian suddenly leave. She looks back at Amaya and Rex.
"I think I'm going to go to my duplex," she says in a slightly scratchy voice, clearing her throat to try to prevent another cough, "I'd like to get cleaned up.."
She hadn't worried too much about her clothes before now, and her hair she knew must be a terrible bunch of tangles. Oh, how she'd like to be clean and neat again. She waves to them and then heads for her duplex.

"Oh... I'm sorry then, Rex. That you didn't get away." Amaya frowned, looking up at him. She couldn't deny that a part of her was glad he was here... he was a good guy. But then again, that was the reason she wanted him to be free too.
Though as Ian started to look... not too well her frown deepened. "Alright Ian... take care, okay? You too Lily." She watched both of them go, her long tail giving a twitch behind her.
Then she looked up at Rex with a small smile. "Guess it's the cafeteria for us then." She began to walk towards the double doors, her body or of gaining a sauntering swager after her transformation.

"Sure thing, folks. Get some rest in a comfy bed, mkay?" He waved goodbye to Ian and Lily, then turned to Amaya. "Shall we be off?" He looped her arm around his and entered the cafeteria.
Rex was enveloped in the scrumptiously delicious smells of the cafeteria. Fresh food of every kind imaginable surrounded him, and there was nothing he wanted more than a juicy steak. And they had just what he wanted. He nabbed some A1 and clean water on his way back to a table and sat down. He immeadiately began sawing at the slab of meat before him, not holding back his hunger.

Something touched her shoulder. "Uhmm" she growned in a rather, unapreciative manner, "mmsleepin'" she snuffled rolling over until something touched ehr shoulder again. She pouted a little and rolled over eyeing somones feet. With a slightly playful growl she clambered up to the feet and came out, right between rexses legs, her far more developed cheetah face looking up at rex. her cool blue eyes looking contemplative "Hai" she grinned, climbing further up him until she was sat in his lap for a second. Looking down in his plate she contemplated eating what was upon it but thought that would be rather mean spirited, what with there being plenty of food about.
She wriggled around on his lap and gave him a little playful glare "waked me!" she stated pouncing off his lap only realising after a moment that Amaya was there too. The girl looked alot differnt from last she had seen her, but her scent couldn't lie to the cheetah girl "Amaya!" she puurred, ehr blue eyes dancing as she rolled off the bench chair and headed for the food line. Rex's steak had made her hungry,s he would chat more, after she had somethig to nibble on.

Kim woke up a bit later after the group had left, and the first thing she noticed was that the blasted rain was over. YES !
And then it occured to her that the camp seemed damn... empty. Where was everyone... ? That, teamed with the fact that the weather was tolerable, she decided to figure it out...
----------------------------------------------------------------
She was amazed when she came into the village, and saw everything working. And open. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. Finally ! She had problems believing it.
She had to get in her duplex... Take a shower... clothes... And then some food that wasn't MANGOES. GLEE. GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
She zoomed to her duplex faster than the average roadrunner speed, it seemed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It was about half an hour after that Kim came into the cafeteria, fully clothed but her long hair still sightly damp, her Nintendo DS and PSP strapped each to a side of her belt. She felt happy jkust knowing they where THERE. She had done her blood sugar test before leaving and oddly enough... she was relatively stable. What the hell...
The though of food, oh sweet glorious FOOD however, put this second on the priority list, as she looked around the room. There was a man she didn't know, and... was that Colche ? She looked different... had she transformed in the jungle as well ? And the other girl... A reptile... Lizard... Amaya ?!?
Frowning just a bit with worry, she made her way other them.
"Hey there." She smilled. "Mind if I eat with you all ?"
