"Yeah. Julian, right?" The lizard glanced over at him, then at his paws momentarily before looking back out to the sea. It almost looked like he was wear cat-like gloves and shoes.

"...Most of the time." It was a half-hearted joke. He laughed weakly.
"...But right now...yes. Under all this fur."
He extended his claws, scratching a little bit at one arm. "...This itchy fur."

Amaya smiled. "That's good." She remember the last time they had met it hadn't... exactly been Julian she was talking to. What did he call her? The... chimney sweep?

"...It is."
Julian paused again. Stuck for small talk. "...By the way...I'm sorry about last time. With...you know." His ears flattened.

"It's alright, not your fault." Amaya said, shifting uncomfortably.

"...Still. I could...at least...I was stronger then, and I should have...."
He trailed off. He really didn't want to FRIGHTEN the girl, but...he seemed to be heading in that direction. This was getting...awkward. Very.

Amaya gave a genuine smile to him, knowing what he wanted to say. However, she was starting to get a little hungry and the weather was getting a little colder as the day dragged on.
"It's alright Julian, really." She stood, tail swishing up a little sand behind her. "I'm gonna go get some food. Drop by my duplex, number 22, if you ever wanna talk okay?" After giving him a pat on the shoulder to show she wasn't leaving him out of fear, she headed off towards the cafeteria.
((Sorry to cut this so short. DX Getting way too distracted though. Byes!))

(( xd It's okay. xd Bye!))
"...All right. Ah...bye, then."
Smiling as she left, Julian sat there only a little longer....
...Then trudged off through the sand alone, getting it caught in his paws. He'd take a bath at home.

New RP
After was was likely too long, Cass had finally managed to get together a couple bikini-tops. Or maybe they had been bras... the difference is difficult to tell, sometimes. She also had a sewing kit, as requested, and the entire thing was wrapped up in her arms. It was time to find Emelyn.
The problem was how exactly to find someone without a permanent address.
At the very least, she supposed, she had her sense of smell, and even if wandering around the island looking for the warmth of body heat was an inefficient way to find someone, she didn't have any better ideas.
Cassidy had made her way to the beach, and she paused for a moment, tongue flickering, to try to get a good feel on which way to go next.

It would be trite to say that Emelyn's finding the naga-like woman was a coincidence- some twist of random fate that brought her to the beach at that moment. The truth was somewhat ... less mystical. She had been making trips up and down the mountain all day, transporting rocks from the beach up to her cave. Em had been musing with the idea of creating shelves of sort in her room- or at least, it would give her something to do instead of her regular routine. Things had become stilted for the 'wild woman', and these inane side-jobs were all she had left to bring any variation to her day.
Emelyn saw Cassidy before she ever hit the beach, and grinned like a Cheshire before ever reaching the sandy slope.
"Cass! Hey!"

Cass turned in the direction of Emelyn's voice, waving an arm wildly. "Hey!" she called back, and started off in that direction. "I have clothes for you!"
No one had gone crazy and eaten Em, yet; she hadn't fallen off a cliff and died. It was encouraging.
"I had to hunt around a bit. Um. I may have gone into your old duplex to scavenge and I really hope you don't mind too much...?"

"Not at all," Em said, coming close to the nearly unrecognizable woman with a smile spread across her fur-dusted face. "Feel free to trash the place, if you ever have the desire to. ...I'm impressed you managed to get up the stairs, though!" Emelyn hoped the statement didn't offend the woman, but decided that there was no reason pretending that everything was normal when everything was obviously so different.
She was close enough to take the bundle, but didn't. Her eyes were on Cassidy's, and her hands planted on her hips.

"The stairs were a bit of an... experiment," Cass admitted shyly. It was probably a good thing no one had seen her. She wasn't sure how she would have explained struggling up a flight of stairs for a very awkward break-and-enter. Possibly some of the staff had raised a few eyebrows. "But I made it."
She held out the bundle. "Are you still managing okay? You look good, at least."

"Thank you," Emelyn said, both for the clothes and the compliment, taking the bundle and holding it to her stomach. "I'm surprised I've not changed again yet. ...Not that I even know what day this is, what month." She shrugged, and gave Cassidy's muscular rope of a body a cursory once-over.
"Seems like it's the same for you. Perhaps you're done, then?"

"May third," Cass supplied, with a small laugh. "I think it might be Wednesday, but I'm not sure."
She looked down at herself, tongue flickering thoughtfully. "Maybe this is it," she said. "I wouldn't mind it too much, if this were the end. They did tell me, once, that there was a chance I might never lose my legs entirely."
Some small, purely snakey part of her brain remained stubbornly annoyed at having its slithering hampered by useless limbs, though. Cass shook her head.
"Though I would have suspected they could do... well, a better job than this," she added, a bit of laughter creeping into her voice.
