"Ye, thas i'." He chuckled, taking a short drag on his cig as he joined her in staring at the watery mass that isolated the island from everything normal and ordinairy. It made him restless to watch the waves for too long. The way the waves rose and disappeared back into the whole, reaching to the sky in a futile attempt at freedom in the abyss of the sky before coming crashing down into each other like falling trees in a forest. He fidgetted, wiggling his butt into a groove in the dampened sand.
"Ye 'am pretteh much done wi' th'screamin bit." Alec smirked, settling down as he preoccupied himself with staring at the sand squishing between his toes. He looked exhausted. He felt exhausted. When he wasn't drumming, he was eating or finding something else to do, and even when he wasn't with Antony he didn't sleep much anyways. "'ow are ye?" He asked leisurely, hoping his scaley friend was fairing better.

The lizard wiggled her long, finger-like toes in the sand as well. Sometimes she would pick some up and drop it again; even though they weren't as flexible as her fingers, she could do a lot more with them then she used to be able to.
"Screaming, then crying, then exhaustion, then you kind of give up in a sense, I guess." She tried to smile at him, but if was obviously forced. "I barely even remember what went through my mind when I found out." Amaya hesitantly patted his shoulder before hugging her legs again.
"I've been alright. Dealing. Trying to keep myself occupied." Her scaley shoulders shrugged.

Alec smiled bitterly, wanting to make somesort of comment but unable to formulate actual words. Was this what he was missing? The crying and the screaming? Maybe he was holding it in too much or maybe it just hadn't sunk in enough yet. He silent hoped he'd be stronger than that, punks like him weren't supposed to cry. Then again, he hadn't been to successful in the 'independant-couragious' department lately.
"Same same." Was what he managed to say, wondering why talking always made him more depressed. He didn't know what else to say, and fell silent.

The girl looked at him and sighed. She would have hugged him if she knew he wasn't creeped out by it.
The silence spanned awhile, before she finally looked up at him. Her animalistic features looking odd with her human eyes.
"You need a hug?"

With all his attempts at being badass and generally masculine in any way possible, the punk teen couldn't deny his true self. Frailty was something he was born with, he supposed.
For a moment it looked like Alec was about to reject the offer, sitting still in his position with his eyes fixed on the waves. "Ye, a' think a' need one o' them." He slowly rolled over and attached himself to Amaya's side of his own will like the softy he was.

Amaya thought he was going to turn down her offer as well. Afterall, who would wanna hug her?
She couldn't hide her look of surprise when he practically flopped and clung to her.
The reptile blinked a few times before returning the hug back, rubbing her large palm over his back in a comforting gesture.

Alec contently enjoyed the comforting gesture without any regard to what Amaya thought... until his teenage ego took hold and convinced him that she'd think he was a dweeb if he clung on longer. "Thank ye." He let go and sat up, finding it particularly awkward that the person suffering the most out of who he'd met so far was comforting a stupid kid who hadn't been on this hellhole of an island for more than a month yet.

The teen smiled. "No problem. I got a lot of hugs when I first came here too." She trailed off.
"Made things a little more bearable."

Alec chuckled without thinking, wondering if a hug per islander would make everyone's time a little easier. "Should be like a law. Ev'r'one gets one hoog and one kick i' th'arse." He started laughing at himself, his flawed logic only providing humor for himself, apparently.

Amaya laughed slightly too.
"A kick in the a**? Why that?" She smirked and looked over at him, her arms wrapping around her knees once more.

Alec wryly grinned, removing the cigarette from his mouth so he could tap the ashes to his far side. "T'make sure they're not bah-stehds o' somethin." The teen continued to laugh, uncaring that his sleepiness was probably making him giddy and prone to cheesy attempts at humor. "Keep 'em 'n line, yanno."

The iguana snorted another laugh, only partially getting what Alec was trying to say. She liked his accent, but she was never really good an picking them apart.
For a moment she remained silent, until something came to mind.
"So have you met anyone else as far along as I am?"

Alec quieted down, oblivious to Amaya's apparent confusion. "Ahhh..." He tried to think, tapping his metal chin stud as he seemed to get a second wind of energy in him. "Neh. A' met Bobbeh ou's a pig, aaan'... Rex ou's a li'n... Joli th' lizehd... Annie th'woof.." He continued to rhyme off people he'd met like they were classmates in school, unfazed by how he referred to them by their animal counterparts. "An' Antoneh, th'squirr'l."

"Dunno an Annie..." Amaya mumbled mostly to herself, though grimaced when the last name was mentioned. "Euh... she b***h at you? Antony, I mean."

"Antoneh?" He glanced over in obvious surprise, letting the cig hang loosely from his mouth. Well, she had been pretty pissed when he first met her, but he didn't see her as a b***h at all once he got to know her a little better. Though admittedly, he didn't know much, seeing as their relationship had launched from stranger to lover in a matter of days. "Ne, she's realleh nice..." His voice trailed off, feeling that he was treading on uneasy ground. He wearily continued the conversation.
