Welcome to Gaia! ::

It began to dawn on Emerwyn what this discussion was based around. Aubrey. The hot topic of the week. So, it was still unclear as to who had done it. The thought chilled Emerwyn. But, if it had never happened then, it would have to happen some time. Breeding monsters on an isolated island - something was bound to go wrong eventually. That was Emerwyn's reasoning.

"It's alright... We're all confused right now," she said, addressing both of them.
The magic of only moments before had all but faded. Grim times would make no exception.

Emelyn watched Chubbs go. He got up and left before she ever had a chance to tell him that she wasn't afraid of him, or even to say goodbye. He was in the jungle before she could speak- and then, she was left alone with Emer.

She nodded. "It really is a confusing time. I'm sorry that everything has been going so... wrong." She eyed the deer-woman up and down. She looked unharmed- maybe even happy. "I hope you and Ian are doing well. And I wish I could stay and talk. But I should get going if I'm going to get half the things I planned to do today done." She wrapped her arms around the woman before heading back up the mountain.

"Come find me soon- so we can talk," She said. The truth of the matter was, although she did have plenty to do, she was just... unused to contact. It would take the girl a little longer to fit back into the swing of things. For now, she'd have to continue her hermitage.

Nita sat cross-legged on her towel, headphones on, staring out to the horizon. Her rather fuzzy knees poked out through the holes in her jeans, which were rather the worse for wear. Oh well, she figured, they're comfortable, and until they were actually in shreds, she would still wear them.

Although she had given the area a cursory glance, there was no sign of her "cake" from yesterday. Just as well, as there was no need to get all pouty about it.

An unnerving prickle went down Nita's back. One white-tipped ear twitched, and not from the music. She glanced around, a bit nervous. She was being watched, and she could feel it.

Nita hugged her knees to her chest and removed one ear bud. A dark figure made its way across the sands. She put one hand to her brow to block the glare from the mid-afternoon sun and squinted. "Hello..?" she called softly.

She couldn't banish the sense of unease the jungle gave her since her latest conversation with Emerwyn, and the large being looked to be all too comfortable within its confines.

The... man's voice (for surely he had been human once, despite his current fearsome appearance) was at odds with his looks, as was his general demeanor. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Nita relaxed visibly.

"It's okay," she said. "You just startled me is all. Don't think I know you, though. My name is Nita." The girl smiled, tugging the other earbud out and pressing the stop button on her CD-player.

"Chubbs?" Nita asked, trying not to laugh. The nickname seemed to fit him, however, despite the teeth and claws. She shook his hand after only a brief moment of hesitation, noting how her own slightly furry hand was effectively dwarfed by Chubbs'.

Nita nodded, brushing a few wisps of hair out of her face. "Of course, it's not your fault at all," she agreed knowingly. The poor guy, she thought, recognizing his general good nature underneath all the fur.. and teeth and claws.

"I'm sorry," she said, shaking her head and tugging on one of her long braids. "It's a bit rude, but... What are you being turned into?"

Nita giggled and turned pink. It had come out funny, but she couldn't figure out any other way to phrase the question. She decided that Chubbs wasn't nearly as intimidating when he was sitting down and laughing, even if the laughter was at her own expense.

"A cute fuzzy elf?" she repeated, one hand automatically going up to touch her ear. "Red panda, actually, or so I've been informed." Nita's faded eyebrows raised of their own accord at his question.

"Three animals? Yeeshk, they can do that?" Of course, a couple of months ago, Nita would have been even more surprised to find out that anyone could turn a person into an animal at all.
