Victor quickly realized wht Richard was thinking about and shook his head and gave Richard a bit of a look.
"Itsss only temporary, The labsss took Tommy'sss bed and thingsss sso I offered him a place to ssstay for a while, its like a timessshare, I'm there at night, he sssleepsss there during the day" Victor grabbed another chunk of steak to eat, thinking to himself. "Not fair that he'd have to sssleep on the floor while everyone elssse hasss a bed to sssleep in"

Relief flashed across Richard's face, "Of course, of course silly me." Richard didn't approve of homosexual relations and the thought that one of his good friends on the island might be one was disturbing to say the least.
Then his brows furrowed. "Your there at night?" Richard looked out into the darkness surrounding the cafe, the village illuminated by lampposts scattered along the paths. Shrugging, "I suppose that works, I haven't heard of any nocturnal lizards after all."

"Ssometimesss I come in here later at night ssso otherss don't have to watch me eat" Victor opened his second mouth for a moment, then closed it, it sometimes made Victor nauseous to open it too wide or for too long. "I think the two mouthesss disssturb people, and rather not give them more to ssstare at" Victor waved one of his chest arms, having so many limbs was bad enough

"Its going to get worse you know. Thats what I hate and I can't do a damn thing about it." A frustrated growl rose through his throat. "I'm running out of time." Richard wasn't looking at Victor, his was focused on some other point in space. "Two weeks, maybe three and I'll probably lose it. I've been hiding for a week now." His eyes swung back to Victor. "I was holding it together until Billy frigging stabbed me. God damnit." A tentacle slammed into the table with a wet bang, and stuck there.

Victor knew in his mind that it probably would get worse for him, he had been meaning to get ahold of someone in the labs to talk to them about his serum so he at least knew what to expect with what might happen to him.
"Richard, you're not running out of time, no matter what the labsss do, they can't take away who you are, and you're a journalissst, you can't think you're going to loossse it becaussse of them, and caussse thissss Billy hurt you"

With a grimace, Richard pried the tentacle off the table. "My mind is not what I'm talking about!" He snapped at Victor. He had been referring to what was between his legs. Why the hell was he even talking about this? Victor didn't need to know about how he was losing his sex as well as his form.
"You know those spines Billy has? All along his back? About this long?" Richard gestured with his hands to indicate about four inches. "Well he put one of those straight through this" He pointed at his left breast. "Hurt like getting kicked in the nuts for a week. And don't get me started on the sanity issue!" Richard crossed his arms and hmpfed grumpily. His little arms tryed to follow suit but were too short to do so.

"I haven't met Billy ssso I wouldn't know" Victor said as he tilted his head to the side so he could look at Richard better, what was the man talking about? if it wasn't his mind Richard was concerned about.... Victor blinked and looked at Richard's injured breast, and something clicked in his head of what could be happening to Richard, was there anything the labs couldn't do to torment people?
There wasn't really anything Victor could say to make Richard feel better or make the situation seem better, so probably best that Victor say nothing about the fact.
"You know I'm here if you ever want to talk about anything, and I'm guesssing thisss Billy is the sssame Octopusss you'd like to maul? I'm sssure you could get even without resssorting to violencsse" Victor also knew he probably shouldn't encourage revenge, but he was hoping he'd eventually be able move Richard to another subject

Richard really didn't want to literately murder Billy, just strangle him some. He wasn't that interested in revenge, he was just frustrated. There was simply no way Victor was going to be able to stop his rant. The dam had burst and there would be no going back.
"I don't care about him. I don't care about getting even. He can rot in that dirty lake! What I care about is avoiding being a woman! That's the point. Another day or two and I can bind my chest again maybe. But." He held up a clawed finger. "In another two three weeks I'm due. And assuming I surivive there is a possibly that these won't be concealable! Then what am I going to do!" Richard slumped down in his seat and jabbed a fork deep into his meal.

"You're going to sssurvive thatss what you're going to do, ssso you can write and tell the sstory" Victor pointed what used to be his index finger, now just a long curved black claw, in Richard's direction. "I don't know what I'm becoming, I haven't been able to talk to sssomeone in the labsss yet." Victor sighed, he was worried about what he might be changing into, and was worried what that knowlege might do for him, considering how bad the last change, he didn't know how much worse it could get.
"I can't hide my changesss, I've wanted to and tried, but doesssn't work, eventually can't hide it, the only thing you can do isss try and live with it"

Richard shook his head. There was no way he would just accept that. He'd rather die. "No. I'll never just accept this. Weren't you just saying that labs can't change who we are? Well I'm a man dammit, and I'm going to stay that way." Damn that sounded silly. A growl came from him and he stood up with enough force that his claws went into the tabletop. "Maybe I can't hide it forever but as long as possible I will! I won't let them win!"

Victor shook his head, this whole situation with the island and the changes they had to endure.... it was beyond Victor's experance and was difficult for him to try and say anything helpful sometimes, and this was one of them. On one hand, Victor did believe that the Labs couldn't change who they were, but on the other, the only way Victor felt he could deal with his own changes was to accept that he was being changed, but that didn't mean he had to like what was being done to him.
The Lizardman looked down at the table and poked at a piece of steak with a claw, he wasn't very hungry anymore, and he didn't know what to say to Richard.

Victor's silence signaled victory to Richard. He nodded curtly and pulled his claws out of the table. "Well I'll see you around then. Good luck."
He stalked off, tail lashing angrily behind him.

"Take care Richard" Victor watched Richard stalk off and sighed, sliding off the seat and to the floor, he wished that had gone better, and slowly crawled to the door to head back to his own duplex
