Colche smiled brightly at the arrival of ambrose and a tiny puurr escaped her, she looked confused for a moment, that was a new sound to her. She gave a tiny giggle and looked at greer "Gruh..eeurr" she spelt out the other womans name and wriggled happily. Watching them as they hugged she held ehr arms out to ambrose her blue eyes looking hopeful for one of those too, she liked hugs, even if she didn't know what they were called.

Ambrose beamed a smile back at Greer and returned the hug, squeezing her genially. Wow, it had been too long since he had hugged someone - while he would never say as much, the feeling of another person against him.... he forced the thought from his mind and words to his voice. "Greer! I know - it's been a while! You look like you're doing well!"
His smile turned to Colche with a small mark of surprise. Given her past he had actually assumed that too much physical contact wouldn't be something she would like - but, well, as long as she was receptive to hugs he certainly didnt' mind dispensing them. He gave her a quick hug and pat on her back as well. "Good morning, Colche" He spoke a bit slower, smiling. "Are you doing... nice today?" He asked it a bit hesitantly, eying her spots.

"Oh yes, meeting all sorts of new people, spending time with friends..." her voice trailed off and she grinned to herself. Ahem! Get yourself under control young lady! "Eating lots of meat, you know."
She smiled at Cloche's demand for a hug. Cute kid!

Colche smiled, she usually wouldn't have asked for a hug, but seeing ambrose hug somone else made ehr a little jalous. She had so few friends on this island she didn't wnat to be left out by them. Aubrey always hugged ehr after all and she liked that alot Aubrey was like her mum. She smiled lightly a tiny giggle and another of those uncharacteristic puurs leaving her. She seemed surprised but nodded at the nice comment "Aubrey shot, fuzzy" she beams then showing off her furry elbows proudly as if it were soemthing to be very proud of, after all everyone else was fuzzy so this was just a normal thing, Or so she told herself, she wasn't phased by the fuzz or the birthmarks and even the nubbin of a tail that had appeard had made her simply shrug, she was perfectly happy here andwas even confident enough to come to the cafeteria all on ehr own, it was something to be proud of and she knew it now if only she could cross the language barriers and learn what everyone was talking about.

Ambrose grinned to Greer. "Much the same in my department" He replied. "Especially the meat part" He admitted, gesturing to his plate.
Ambrose blinked at Colche after they parted. He looked at the tufts of fur at her elbows and ran a finger along it lightly. Well, if she was handling it this well, there was absolutely no reason to make her feel uncomfortable. At least someone was viewing this in a completely positive manner and he hoped that she would continue to do so. "Yes, I see that." He kept the smile on his face. "Colche fuzzy."
He took his seat, and began slicing up the steak into bite-sized pieces. "So what have you been up to these past couple of days, Greer? I haven't spotted you around. " He took a bite and gestured to Colche. "I met Colche the other day... and there are several other new people here who.. unfortunately, probalby won't be taking to the Island life here quite as readily as she. But... at least no one seems to be quite as displaced as you and I and some of the other firsts..."
He grinned at Greer after taking a couple of bites to appease his stomach. "So when are you and I going to go for another bout with the epees?"

She smiled at Cloche, look her alterations over. "Cloche's a pretty fuzzy." she said approvingly. It all looked quite nice on her.
Turning back to Ambrose, she shrugged. "Bug hunting as usual, watching a fellow named Timothy turn into a skunk, spending time at the beach, all sorts of things. And I patently refuse to fence epee with you again until I've gotten a chance to best you in sabre."

Colche watched the two quietly a little smile lifted on ehr face "Pri--tee" she mimicked looking thoughtful she smiled at Greer "Greer Pretty" she looked at the both looking for approval that she had done right. There were lost of words there after that basically went over her head but she enjoyed listening to the talk, her blue eyes dark but full of facination for the things happening around her.

Amrbose leaned back looking mock-hesitant. "Well...... I supppose that that's only fair, Greer." Ambrose leaned forward with a smirk. "But what if you don't beat me at sabre?" He winked, taking another big bite of steak. "But anyway, I'm sure that they'll put in an order for us if we ask!" Ambrose looked around at the corners of the room, wondering if someone might be listening.
Ambrose beamed an approving smile at Colche. "Ah, yes, Greer is very pretty" his eyes darted to Greer with a small blush. "You are absolutely right, Colche."
Ambrose quickly cleared his throat. "But, ah, well. The Dude and I were talking yesterday - about perhaps doing another get-together at the Beach Bar sometime soon...."

Greer harumphed and finished off her steak, eyeing the carrots longingly. She'd never get them down. "If I don't beat you at sabre it'll be becasue my right arm falls at an inoppertune moment." At the pretty comment, she smiled and fussed with her hair.
"I have no idea where people are getting that from. Anyway, "She picked up a carrot and gave it an experimental nibble. "If there's going to be another Beach Bar party, count me in! It was way too fun last time."

Colche looked confusedly betweent he two "beach?" she questioned ehr big blue eyes looking hopeful, she liked the beach it was a fun place to go and build sand castles and paddle in the cold foamy water "Play sandcastle?" she smiled lightly she wanetd to see the bach again but perhaps they weren't talking to her after all.

Ambrose scratched the back of his neck, picturing the awkwardness of the combination of Colche and alcohol. "Maybe soon, Colche" He smiled to her.
"And Greer - I think they're 'getting' it because it's the truth." He punctuated that as he poked his fork into a bit of steak. "And wonderful.... we don't know where or when yet."

Forcing the entire carrot slowly into her protesting stomach via small bites, Greer grinned. "I'll make sandcastles with you later, okay? I bet you're very good."
Blushing a little at Ambrose's comment she rolled her eyes. "If you say so. Ooo! Guess what?" she pulled a jar from her bag which had a beautiful blue butterfly fluttering inside. "I caught a blue morpho!"

Colche smiled, "sandcastles later" she didn't really know the meaning of later it meant basically now to her but she waited any way looking to the jar that Greer produced. She tilted her head a little looking up to greer questioningly her big doe eyes looking for what the creature in the jar was "pretty" she states, it was her new word of the day that was for sure she wanted to use it as much as possible to make sure she knew how to use it. She pokes the jar and bites her tongue, how did something so pretty get inside the glass thing? She was pretty sure she would find out one day.

Ambrose leaned forward as well to peer at the fluttering butterfly. "Wow, that's fantastic, Greer! You even caught it alive!" He looks up to her with a boyish smile. "Are you going to add this to your ... er... collection of pets or just... well... your collection?"
Ambrose looked over to Colche, finding the mental image of a cat watching a fluttering thing that was out of reach all too fitting. "Very pretty" He agreed with her with an encouraging nod.
He took a few more bites, polishing off the plate of steaks.

"I'm going to let it go, actually. I already have a very nice example in my collection, and they're pretty rare as it is. I'd love to keep it as a pet, but that would require an indoor enclosure larger than my duplex." That gave her an idea, though. With a large wooden skeleton and a lot of netting, she could build a butterfly house, the island's weather not requiring a full climate controlled building. Hmm... that would be neat...
Smiling at Cloche, she unscrewed the lid of the jar, making sure to keep a hand over the top to keep the insect in. "I catch and collect them, see?" She replaced the top and pushed the jar over so the girl could get a better look.
