Avery had already forgotten about exercising. He was leaning forward on the bike, resting his arms on the handle bars while he watched Vasile. "s**t... I'm sorry to hear that..." he frowned. He couldn't imagine how Vasile must feel about that, someone wanting to get rid of him so badly that they would get them stuck here?
"Joli... I think I may have met her once. The name sounds a bit familiar. I didn't know what she used to do for a living, though." But if Joli was able to find this place looking for Vasile... maybe that meant there was still hope at being rescued?
"I don't think anyone here deserves what's happening to them," Avery murmured. "At least she can still get around, though, yanno? It's awful, but it could always be worse." Billy came to mind, with his crutches and tentacles.

Vasile nodded, finished his set of reps and sitting up on the machine, more interested in talking to Avery. "Yeah, definately. To be honest, I consider myself pretty lucky. In comparison at least." He gave a thoughtful look. "I was doing pretty good here for a while. You know... I kind of got a reality check from being here. I was sent here because I was a d**k, and I didn't even know how many people i was hurting. Now.. now I'm a bit more aware. I think I'm a better person now, how ironic is that?"
Vasile suddenly looked a bit nervous as his tail waved behind him. "Cept things are getting confusing again. Since my last change, that is. Lots...weird things."

"Then some good things can come out of being stuck here, I suppose. I've met some great people here," Avery said, grinning as he thought of Timothy. "People I probably would have never met otherwise. And, I'm grateful for that. I decided, I'm going to do my best to be happy here, and get through all this crap. Although it's been a little hard sometimes... at least we have friends here to turn to, right?" Avery smiled at Vasile.
He noticed the nervous look on the fox man's face, and he tilted his head slightly. "Weird things since your last change - what do you mean? Do you wanna talk about it?"

Vasile smiled. "I like that attitude. I really, overall, and not that unhappy here. Once I got over myself. I've evened learned to do my own laundry!" He grinned.
His ears flicked back as Avery offered to talk about it. Sure, he had spilled his guts out to Chubbs the night before, but he wasn't druink tonight, and suddenly felt awkward about telling a complete stranger abuot his...recent preference change. Maybe because this guy was giving off way more vibes than CHubbs did.
"I 'unno, its kind of embarassing. And, uh, weird. Most people wouldn't blame the changes, just my denial"

Avery laughed, "well that's a good thing! I've been kinda lazy about doing my laundry. I keep forgetting, until I only have one set of clean clothes left." Thankfully he had just finished doing his laundry earlier in the day, so he wouldn't have to worry about it again for a little bit.
"Well, that's alright if you don't wanna talk about it," he shrugged, and smiled at him. Denial? Denial of what? "I think weird things are happening to all of us... becoming an animal can really change a person."

"That's what strange," Vasile admitted. "Its nothing to do with animalness at all. At least, I don't think so."
He signed and shook his head. "Its all just strange and kind of new. I don't want to like..freak you out or anything."

"Oh, really?" Avery frowned, and he stood up, walking over to sit at the machine next to Vasile. "Trust me, there's little I could think of that could freak me out," he tried to give him a reassuring grin. "I'm an open minded guy! I'm sure I've seen stranger things around here already."

"Maybe," Vasile mused, watching him as he came over. "Okay. Since my last change, I've discovered a shift in my...ah," his ears turned pink. "Sexual preferences. Like, a major shift. Like... Cass used to be my girlfriend, but she isn't anymore...because I don't find myself, well, liking girls..." He gauged him for a reaction.

Avery's eyebrows rose in surprise. He hadn't been expecting that. "Is that all?" he smiled, absently thinking the way Vasile's ears turned pink was kind of cute.
"I guess it is confusing if you're just realizing it. I'm bi, but I realized that a few years ago. Maybe it's just a coincidence that you're realizing it since your last change? Unless... the doctors here are doing more than just changing us into animals," Avery frowned at the thought. Could they even do that? A silly question - they probably could, if they can change people into animals... who knows what they could do.

"Yeah its confusing. But its NEW, I promise you it is.. I mean, I could have sworn I've never felt this way before. I was REKNOWN for my womanzing..." Vasile's pink ears droopped some more. "But I guess there's no way to really know. I mean, you hear abuot people finding out when they were like... forty, ya know?"
Vasile shook his head. "So you're bi, huh?" He let a slightly suggestive tone slip into his voice.

"Yeah, that's true," Avery shrugged. "Everyone realizes it at different times... some people are surprised, and some aren't." He hoped the Cass girl didn't take it too hard. He thought that must be really tough on her... although he's sure Vasile already feels bad about it enough, no need to bring it up right now.
Avery smirked, catching the suggestive tone. "Yes, yes I am. Switch hitter, best of both worlds, etcetera, etcetera."

Vasile slid a bit closer to him slowly, his tail instinctively (honest!) wrapping around his ankle. "Well, god knows I've had my fair share of the fairer sex. But I'm pretty new to applying that knowledge ...elsewhere." He smiled at him. "Though its kind of fun, you know. Experimenting...learning all these new things and all...." His voice had dropped to a near-purr.

Oh, the temptation. It was hard to resist, the fox man was really... really sexy. Avery vaguely started to wonder if he had a thing for fluffy tails. He felt guilty - maybe he shouldn't have flirted back.
Sometimes he couldn't help himself, though - flirting was fun. The bad part was leading people on when you had no intention of following through... and he usually didn't catch himself until it was too late; until the flirting went a little too far. And Vasile was really hot...
"While I'd really love to be able to... teach you... new things... I'm afraid I can't. I'm seeing someone here on the island... I don't want to screw it up," he smiled apologetically.

Vasile coulnd't help but look dissapointed, but he gave an understanding smile. "Ah, I see." He sat up, pulling his tail back to him. "Good for you. I'm sorry.. I guess I came on alittle strong, didn't I?"

"No, no - it's alright," Avery said, lifting his hand to rub the back of his neck. "I'm really flattered. I mean, you're... really attractive... I just..." he shrugged. "Sorry, I shouldn't have flirted." He was blushing now, trying not to think about what would have happened if he went along with it... he wondered if Timothy was busy with anything right now.
