"Really? You'll have to take me there sometime! I'd love to see it," Avery said. "I don't think I've been anywhere near the cliffs yet. I'd rather not wander out by myself, or I'd probably get lost again," he laughed. "I have a horrible sense of direction..."

Timothy laughed "I used to not think of myself as very outdoorsy... but honestly, here it's peaceful."
"The island isn't full of man-eating beasts or anything like that... yet anyway." he'd noticed some of the stuff going on with Jamal.
"And I've got certain self defense measures..." Timothy did a point back to his tail.

Avery's eyes widened a bit. "Oh, that's right... good thing you're able to control that, huh?" Then he looked curious. "Does it feel weird to do?" He couldn't imagine having that kind of... ability, or how on earth he'd control it.
"I don't have anything to defend myself... maybe I'll get claws," but he thought, I don't want claws. "Or venom." I don't want venom. I don't want to be anything but human. Avery ignored his thoughts. "Then nobody would mess with me, eh?"

"Probably not at all... and well I've never tried using it willingly, the first time it went off it defintly wasn't intentional. Luckily you didn't show up till a few weeks later." Timothy laughed.
"I bet you'd look cute with claws atleast..." he smiled.

"Damn, that must have sucked! I'm sorry you had to deal with that... ugh, I can't even imagine," Avery shuddered a bit. "How do you get rid of the smell, anyway? Does it just wear off after a while?
Avery flushed a bit at the compliment - although he's never heard a compliment like that before. "Thank you... I think?" he laughed. "No one's ever said that to me before. I guess you gotta think up new lines on an island full of animal people, huh?"
He leaned forward a bit and waggled his eyebrows at Timothy. "Hey there, baby - nice tail. Come here often?"

"It faded with time and a lot of water... everything was locked up so I couldn't try that tomatoe juice thing." Timothy chuckled.
Responding to Avery's crack Timothy twitched his tail. "As a matter of fact I do."

Avery sat back and chuckled. "Well, there's no place else to eat around here," he grinned. Avery finished up the rest of his breakfast. "Well, it was nice seeing you again, Tim... hey, if you ever wanna hang out, I'm in duplex 32, okay? I should get going, I have some things to wash since I have no other clothes yet." Avery rolled his eyes as he stood up, picking up his empty plate. "I'll see you around! And don't forget, I wanna see that place on the cliffs you told me about sometime."
Avery smiled at him and took care of his plate and silverware, throwing away his trash. He waved at Timothy before heading out of the cafeteria.

After Aubrey had gone back to the labs (she had to work after all, Colche knew that though found it sad that she had to go) Colche had sat around for a while. Her bruises weren't nearlly as achey as they had been so she had made good timeing to the Cafeteria. Stopping pretty sparodically though to look around, check noone was there then continue.
Once she passed through the door though, making sure that Billy wasnt in there, though his scent lingered some what in the place. He had definately been there recently, she made ehr way to the counter and received a big english breakfast and a knife and fork. She was determined to work the knife and fork properly. She wanted desperately to be like everyone else.
With a gentle sigh she padded, still a little painfully, to a chair and sat slowly, taking her knife and fork to her meal. he paused regularily to double check noone was coming in and if they were, it was somone she knew and could trust. She was still feeling a bit shaken despite her talk with Aubrey.

Greer trotted into the cafeteria in search of food to leave out for Captain Morgan, now that she'd thought of him again, and perhaps some tea to pretend to drink. Her old black indian brand didn't sit right in her stomach anymore, but she still loved the smell. She supposed she could concede defeat and try a lighter tea, maybe a green or a red, but that would be giving in. She was rarely stubborn, but she deserved at least a small moment of it.
Looking around as she always did in case someone was there, she noted a large cheetah eating breakfast. Wait...
"Colche?"

Colche's furry round ears percked the second Greer entered the cafeteria, she looked a little frightened but her nose wrinkled. The scent was, a touch familiar to her. At her name she recognised the voice and gave a little puurr "greer" she stated, smiling genuenly to the first person beside Aubrey since the Billy incident. Greer was somone she knew and really liked, the woman had been really nice to her.
Her long tail twitched and she stood up padding out from behind the table. Colche couldn't remember greer having a beack, it had been a long time, they had both changed, he was certainly more cheetah now than human. She stood still wondering if she could pounce the woman, contemplating if it would be practical really, she was still sore, the bruises obvious on her abdomen and chest, she still hadn't quite gotten the idea that clothes were supposed to be mandatory not optional. Instead, she did the next best thing and held ehr furry fingers out. "not see forever" her vocabilary had much improoved since she had last seen greer and though she still had a very redementry style of speaking she had a whole gaggle of words she could peice together to make her sentences quite frankly make more sence.

The entomoligist smiled, taking the girl's, uh, paws, and pulling her into a hug.
"My, you've changed little one. How have you been? Do you still like my butterflies?"
You'd think after all this time she'd be used to the further animalizing of her friends, but it was always a bit of a shock when she saw another one further along in the process. A reminder of the good doctor lurking over the island.

Colche smiled, puuring happily as she snuggled greer, she was a very big kitten indeed. "buterflies purty greer" she stated "me okay" she smiled a little weakly. "bad men on island tho greer" she pouted at this, befopre loking over Greers shoulder just to double check Billy wasn't coming through the door. For now, he was somehting to be fruightened of even if Aubrey had told her she could claw and bite him. she was still feeling decidely nervy about the big scary man.

Greer cocked her head, not liking the sound of the girl's last statement. "Bad men? What do you mean?"

Colches ears flattened tightly against her head and her usually cherful expression creased in a frown "Billy, hurted me." she stated, her tail twitching nervously for a moment as she once again looked around to double check for the lack of Billy "tried..but aubrey said never not again..Aubrey make bad man stop" The fur on her shoulders was looking decidedly ruffled as she tried to explain her feelings behind the attack though the bruises were pretty obvious on what skin she had left on her front, her chest and abdomen not so much swollen but definately a purple blush colour where she had been mauled about.

Greer's eyes widened as she realized what the little one was talking about. Not ever again? She'd never heard the full story of Colche's past, and now didn't particularly want to. Good for Aubrey. She may not have liked the second in command of the lab's taste in men, but she was still a good person in Greer's book.
"Good, Aubrey will protect you. And I'll protect you. And Colche the cheetah," she said, holding up one of the girl's hands to indicate the claws now anchored there, "will protect herself. You're a big, strong cat now."
