Amaya had been spending her days in multiple ways. Basking, watching movies, sewing... as much as she could, cleaning... y'know, anything to keep her mind occupied. Today she was in a rather average mood. Not good, not bad.
She swayed into the cafeteria, tail moving from side to side behind her. The iguana paused as she noticed Nita, the girl she had run away from days before. And Alec, the one that had run away from her before then. Odd how such a thing worked out.
A forced smile played her scaley face as she walked to the foodline and grabbed some egg salad along with a bottled water. Like most days, her changes were mostly out in the open. The girl wore a hat to conceal at least some of her baldness, a halter top, and a pair of black shorts that road low, due to her tail.

Nita blinked, wondering why he'd be so touchy about the subject of age. Whatever. Despite his hangover and activities she'd overhead last night, she pegged him as about her little brother's age.
A blur of green entered her peripheral vision and she recognized the scaly girl from the jungle. She watched her for a moment, curious, but not staring. As the girl turned away from the food line, Nita waved. "Hey. Care to join us?"

Oh great. He winced inwardly, watching Amaya stride through the door looking quite cheerful today. Another to observe his misery. If this kept up, the entire island would know by next nightfall. "Aye Amaya." The teen mumbled as best he could, waving a spare hand as he tipped his water glass over to see, to his dismay, that there wasn't much left.

"Uh... sure." Thank god she wasn't running away. Though last time she didn't seem like she was going to either. But that had been right after the situation with Alec and... she wasn't exactly prepared for it to happen again, even if there was a 50% chance.
Amaya voice was still rather timid and quiet for obvious reasons as she walked over to them. Her long claws clicked on the tile flooring until she grabbed the other chair next to the punk, spinning it around so she could sit on it backwards.
The lizard raised a non-existant brow at Alec who seemed... sick. Or tired. Or some-OHHHH. Oh. She gave a mock glare. "Party last night?"

"That's your name? Amaya? It's pretty." Nita nodded. "Sorry if I scared you or somethint the other day... I'm Nita." She finished her sandwich and nibbled daintily at a few french fries.
"Alec here is hung over." She grinned wickedly, gesturing with a half-eaten fry.

Alec rubbed the side of his face, the smell of Nita's fries making his stomach turn. He nodded solemnly at Amaya's question, about to ellaborate until Nita took it upon herself to do so. "Go n' shite." He muttered to the redhead, half-meaning what he was saying. Her teasing definetly wasn't helping the situation.
He wouldn't ask if the staff provided tylenol to the "guests", figuring he was better off without it. The teen pushed his tray further from himself, glancing at Amaya as she perched herself nearby.

"Yeah, thanks." Amaya smiled slightly. "Nice to meet you... sorry about running away last time. I hadn't had a very pleasent day prior." Green eyes then went over to Alec.
"I guessed." The teen smirked and poked at her egg salad a little before eating some of it, her long fingers awkwardly holding the fork. After she swallowed what was in her mouth, she stared at Alec for a moment. She had never really seen someone her own age have a hangover.
A long, pointed finger pointed to the cafeteria woman that was behind protective glass. "If you ask her, she can probably give you something for it." Amaya's hand dropped to curl in her lap once more. "I don't blame you though, I guess it's nice to drown out reality for awhile."

Nita rolled her eyes at the suggestion. "Right back at'cha, kiddo." Definitely about her brother's age. However, she left off teasing him; he looked miserable enough.
Turning back to Amaya, she nodded. "It's okay. I had a good talk with Cassidy after you, ah, left." Nita twirled the end of one braid idly, picking at the baby carrots on her plate.
"Oh, and I've got aspirin in my duplex, if you want any," she offered, taking pity on Alec.

Kiddo.
Alec seethed at the word, particularly sensitive at the moment. He did however, show some restraint and held back the string of curses that he really wanted to let fly. He contented himself with falling silent and listening to the two chat instead, having second thoughts about the only food he'd seen all day. "Neh thanks." He responded in monotone, resuming picking at his meatloaf.
"Ye guys goin' t'the parteh?" The teen randomly asked, still seemingly focused on picking at his food.

"Ah." The reptile stated simply to Nita, taking another forkfull from her food.
Party? Oh right, that thing on the door. "I dunno... possibly." She paused. "Not sure who Fiona is. Or if it's some weird trick by the labs."

Nita resisted a smirk. Whoops. She'd pissed him off. Oh well. His loud music, drumming, and other things had been needling her since she arrived.
"Hm? Oh, maybe. Depends when it is..." Oh wait. "Not that I've really got anything else going on," she concluded.
"A trick by the labs?" Nita frowned. "What good would that do?"

Alec hadn't even considered the announcement to be a trap or prank contrived by the laboratory staff. Seeing the mention of musical talent and possible fun, the teen had simply accepted it for what it was besides the fact he had no idea who Fiona was. Or did he?
Groggy mind worked hard to try and recollect the conversation from early yesturday, finding it difficult to formulate the facts. "Fiona." He repeated until it dawned on him. "Thas' Anne's roomie." He nodded in agreeance with himself, talking with a full mouth. "They're from Canada." He chirped incoherently, stuffing even more into his mouth as his appetite was clearly nagging at him. "Nice gals."

Amaya simply shrugged at Nita and poked at her food. "Dunno, but they like to play a lot of pranks to torment us. Or at least some of us."
Though upon hearing that the other teen actually knew said girl... maybe it wasn't. "I could be wrong, though." She shrugged.

"How delightful," Nita muttered, taking a quick drink. "Anne? Would that be Angharad, next door to us? I met her; she did seem nice." She shrugged and pushed her tray away. "A beach party thing could be fun, though. Get peoples' minds off of things and stuff."

Alec nodded to Nita and reached for his glass again, only to remember it was empty by it's weight. Eyes shifted to Amaya as he gave a pleading gesture, flopping his chest onto the cafeteria table and allowing his face to smush into the surface. "Ugh."
A party did seem like a fun idea though, warranted that nothing unexpected would happen in the process. "A' could play me drums." He couldn't help but crack a small smile. "A' d'neh, a parteh seems fun."
Said the guy with the hangover.
