Emelyn saw the stubs of feet he now possessed, and in her mind, likenened them to sheathless hooves. She didn't allow herself to linger on them, dragging her eyes upwards to meet his eyes- which seemed inflamed with something- she didn't know what.
"And you've only changed the once?" Her words were soft. Emelyn couldn't recall if Cassidy had been so far along after her first transformation. It had been a long time ago- and back then, so many of them were still in a panic about what was happening to them- not much had been guaged for posterity's sake.

The moment he was sure she had seen, he let his foot fall beneath the surface of the water, hiding it from sight and mind as if doing so would prevent it from being real.
"Just the once," he murmured, nodding slightly. Grimacing, he turned, pacing back towards the shore and attempting to keep his temper in check. "I've spoken t' Cassidy since--she wasn't this far after her first change. Just scales, really, an' tongue. My tongue's still fine, but my feet? My tail?" He hissed through his teeth in displeasure, throwing up a hand. "And, if that wasn't enough, I'm losin' my 'air."

"I wish there was an 'at least' I could tell you. But... the transitions will be rough. Between walking and... losing your legs, it'll be very awkward." She spoke gingerly, even though she was almost assured that Cassidy would have warned him. "But when you're further along- three or four changes into it, I think you'll find that you'll be able to move quickly enough and even use the muscles in your lower torso as a sort of leg... if only to... kick." She couldn't help but notice his constant, almost worrying attention to the soccerball he'd brought with him to the sand, and wondered if that was the source of some of his distress.
"And everyone changes differently. Even with similar animals. Although... truthfully, there aren't many." She hardly knew what to say except what she would have liked to hear, in the beginning. "It's not easy, but it's so much better when you know what to expect. So if you ever need help, I'm always here to answer questions. ...And... you do know about the cameras, don't you? Has someone warned you, yet?"

"Somehow, I'd imagined they would be," he replied sharply, but sighed, grudgingly nodding in agreement as Emelyn continued. "From what I've gathered, those changes'll be a long while in coming. An' th' stages in between will be awkward an' uncomfortable."
He fell silent, remaining so for a long pause before returning his eyes to the hedgehog woman. "I appreciate your advice. And offer. Which duplex are you in? ...And I'm afraid no one's mentioned cameras, no."

"The cameras," Emelyn said, starting in on the easier issue to explain, "are everywhere. In the jungle, on this beach, in the duplexes. The entire island is monitored. Some places are also miked- but I don't know where, exactly. ...I make a note of warning newcomers, now. Just so they know what's happened to their privacy. And... I don't live in a duplex anymore. Mine has been empty since January. ...I live up on the mountain, now." She knelt down next to Reuben, scratching his now-wet fur and dropping her head to rest on his back.

"Brilliant." Thom sighed, wiping a hand down his face. "Good t'know no one else I've spoken with thought t' tell me. Thank you f' doin' so. I'll keep that in mind." It was a way to mock Duvert without retribution, anyway.
"You live..." Trailing off, he raised a brow and glanced towards the quite obvious mountain looming up from the jungle. "...Righto, well, perhaps I'll come hunt you down if m' legs 'old out. I'm in duplex 45 if you brave th' village again. For now... I'm goin' to 'ead back b'fore I eat your dog." He cracked a grin, nodding a goodbye before retrieving his soccer ball and starting away. "Was nice meetin' you, Emelyn."

"And you, Thom. ...Take care of yourself." With that, she watched the Englishman leave, and as the snake-man disappeared into the jungle, she called Reuben to accompany her out to her fishcatch. In this day, she had met two newcomers to the island.
...Her mind would not let her dwell on how many more there must be.

New RP
Instead of basking in the trees today, Amaya had opted for the beach. In the peek of the afternoon she felt it was warm enough to risk taking a short dive into the cold ocean waters to cool off a little. Though she wasn't able to stay in long, it was a nice feeling.
She now sat with her long toes lapped by the waves as they drew closer then pulled back. The green iguana's expression was mostly blank, her tail curled slightly around her and her arms hugging her knees.

Colche's voice came quite loud though for once, without a song. She was reading. her nose was planted firmly in the short childrens novel which she held in both hands. Her perfetc blue eyes scanned the pages before her and although she occasionally found a word which she struggled, stumbled and ultimately spelt out she seemed to be doing well with this page. Truthfully she had read this page once already with Josh she just wanted to read it again just to double check she hadn't missed anything. Of course reading without Josh was always a struggle he helped her with allt he hard words and theones she didn't understand.
The golden white sands soon touched her foot paws though and she smiled giving a long gentle puurr of happiness. She loved the beach and the last of the afternoons rays played accross her tawny and black marked fur beautifully. For a moment she stood looking rather than like a child with a tall tale in ehr paws like a young woman her slender beautiful figure paused as if in deep contemplation the golden rays of the sun making her big baby blue eyes glimmer almost magically. Of course this didn't last too long, when Colche was out and about she wanted to be moving and playing not standing still and contemplating the universe as she knew it. With that in mind she tucked her book mark back int he page she had been reading and placed her book on top of a fallen palm where it would be safe and far, FAR away fromt he salty water which would ruin the precious pages.
Her head lifted suddenly and an alert look came about her face which was swiftly replaced by a huge toothy grin "Amaya!" Colche shouted bolting down the beach only o dive quite literally head first at the green iguana lady.

Amaya was rather oblivious to the cheetah girl until her name was shouted above the crashing of the waves. "Hm?" Blinking, she turned to look just in time to be tackled down by Colche.
Her feet and tail went up into the air as she tumbled onto the sand with an "oof!". Though the girl's composure was quickly regained as she gave Colche a smile. "Hiya Colche." Though it didn't seem as enthusiastic as it had once been. Not that she wasn't glad to see her! ... But... things were getting harder and harder to be happy about. Even her 'little sisters' happy face.

Colche puurred happily nudging Amayas cheek with her nose she grinned broadly ehr long furry tail wagging back and forth in a mad sort of whirly fashion. "Where been Amaya?" She tilted her head curiously those big blue eyes curious. It was pretty obvious by the way that Colche was speaking she was more confident about the fact that her words meant something and wern't just jumbled up madness, as they usually were. With a further purr she sat happily pretty much perched in Amayas lap her still perfectly innocent blue eyes forever wondering.
"Lotsa new people son island Amaya" she whispers her ears flickering. "I gots learny man!" She thought she should tell Amaya about her learny man asap! After all he was the one giving her this confident speach pattern, Amaya should know about him he was swiftly becoming an important part of the cheetah girls life.

Amaya sat up, allowing the older girl to sit on her lap like a child. "I've just been around. Dealin' with things." She smiled a little and shrugged, running a couple of her long fingers through Colche's raven locks. "Yeah, I know." Her smile faded a little upon remembering Cody.
"Learny man? ... Like a teacher?" She blinked her green eyes, a little confused. Colche DID seem to be speaking better, but then again it had been awhile since she had last seen her and her speech was always making improvments.

Colche giggles a soft happy puurr escaping her as Amaya groomed her fingers through her exceedingly long hair "Uh huh, Professor!" She beams "teachings to read an writes and speaks!" she clicks her tongue happily her deep blue eyes smiling happily, she was very proud of her self about these things, she was trying so hard just to be able to speak like everyone else, her work was starting to pay off.
"Him nice" she coos her tail curling around ehrself as she said it "becoming giraffe like melman" she giggles, she liked to refarre to her teacher as 'like melman' cause melman was a fun chracter. Still when her giggles faded she pl;ayed with the tip of her tail for a moment and looked at amaya, she had taken up this habbit recently playing with the end of her long fluffy tail. "Hims name Josh, is nice, helpings lots" she smiled happily her blue eyes looking sort of foggy though they quickly cleared up and she grinned broadly. "Amaya comes see, has lessoons every days" she puurrs she still didn't know the day of the week or what month or date it was but she knew that a new day started when the sun came up and ended when it went down again, between those two times she had lessons with Josh and he taught her, and helped her with dream.

"A professor? Huh..." The lizard blinked, wondering if maybe he could help her finish highschool... Though at the mention that he was becoming a giraffe she winced, but it only lasted a second. No need to get down about it while Colche seemed to enthusiastic.
"I'd love to come watch one of your lessons." Her smile was more genuine this time. "And do you think he could help me learn what I missed before I came here?"

Colche looked thoughtful "maybes!" she puurrs her big baby blue eyes smiling happily "Josh English professor" She nodded at that, she knew what he was a teacher of and everything. It peased her to no end that she knew. "gets learns together amaya!" she giggles, it acctually made her smile that she might have a person learning with her.
"2Amaya comes when feels happy an sees Josh, him nice him help" she pururs pretty sure that Josh would be willing to help Amaya too.
