"S'no problem." The teen tiredly answered as he propped up the side of his head with his palm. Although he'd been rushing around for awhile now, he hadn't felt like he was being treated like a servant until Amaya tried to tell him to leave. It wasn't that he took it as an insult, the idea of being dismissed was what irritated him. He was concerned, to him, his job wasn't finished yet until he ensured that everything was under control. Being told to leave now reminded him of mall security when he was back in Belfast.
"Am fine." He made a point to say before accidently letting a yawn escape which was soon followed by a rather abrupt and unwarranted groan. "Ahhh shite."

The iguana smiled, albeit it was a sad one. "You're tired. If you don't want to go to your own duplex then at least go to sleep here. I don't want to keep you up." She shifted, grabbing the salad and bottles of water to put them into her minifridge.
She didn't want to attempt eating in front of Alec.

Alec shrugged. picking at the arm of the chair. "Whateveh ye want." He enphasized the 'you', as if she was the one to decide what he did. He'd been watching her the entire time and looked visibly disappointed when she put the food he'd brought into the fridge. The teen had to remind himself that she was still fragile in mind and that she needed to do things at her own pace.
After a monent of contemplation like this, he gave in and decided it was best they both got some sleep. "Aight.... ekay, a'll c'me check on ye lateh." He stood and looked as if he wasn't going to leave until he finally moved towards the door. "Ye call me if ye need anehthin?" He looked pretty serious when he said this.

Amaya nodded, regretting the motion as everything spun again. But she regained her composure and looked at him, head cocked slightly to the side. "I will. I promise. Thanks." She tried to offer him another smile, but it fell flat.
Then as he was about to leave, she stopped him. "Hey." She took a step foreward and fidgetted with her hands. "Uhm... I didn't take the last... change well either. Check up on me in a couple of days." After getting as depressed as she did the last time, she wasn't sure if she trusted herself again to not go so introverted it made her sick.

Before Alec reached the door, he turned back and listened. The normally rambunctious and loud teen nodded quickly at her request before offering a small smirk. "T'morreh. A'll come afteh suppeh." His upper was usually very early anyways.
"Take care." With a wave he retreated outside of the room for what was guaranteed to be a trek he was grateful to be taking part of.

After Alec had left, the green iguana looked back at where she had stored her salad and water. Slowly, she pulled them back out and then went back to her bed. After getting positioned, she stared down at the salad and then grabbed the fork awkwardly like she always did.
She had to c**k her head to the side so she could see what she was stabbing. When a good portion was on her fork she looked at it. Amaya tried everything she could to eat with it but whenever she tried to coordinate her large mouth with her hand motions it seemed to fall flat. The end of her snout was far away and when she went to bite it she was often taking a blind guess was to where exactly the fork was.
The girl had no idea eating without being able to see you own mouth was so hard. Eventually she put her fork down and looked at the large bowl in front of her. They expected her to eat like an animal, didn't they?
But despite being as hungry as she was, Amaya couldn't bring herself to do it... so she put the bowl aside for now.
She grabbed one of the water bottles to try it instead. Popping the top open, she positioned it to where she could see it before squirting it into her mouth. It did nothing but drip out the sides of her elongated jaw onto her lap.
Slowly the lizard set the water bottle down and put everything back into the minifridge. She'd go hungry for tonight.
But despite all this, Amaya couldn't find herself to get angry or sad. She was blank, too exhausted with everything to hold any strong emotions towards anything.
She didn't feel like trying anymore.

Later the next day...
As Alec quickly left the caf, he realized that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep any that night if he broke his promiseto Amaya by not visiting her the day after her terrifying change. Although he'd finished eating despite the awkward crowd that had gathered, he managed to snag some food for the iguana girl. He expected her to have not moved an inch since the day before, and therefore required some more food.
Arriving at her duplex, he knocked once and waited while attempting to hold up the tray of food without lazily spilling any of it onto his shoes.

The entire day was spent doing nothing but trying to get up the gawl to finally eat. By lunchtime she was so hungry, Amaya didn't care anymore and succumbed to eating like the lizard she looked so much like. Though afterwards, all she could do was sob quietly and tearlessly.
The empty bowl had been then turned into a water dish, the bottles having been given to her now poured into it so the girl could lap it up. Aside from this and showering, she had done nothing all day.
When Alec knocked, Amaya had been huddled up on her bed sulking. Slowly she looked up and swayed towards the door, making sure it was him before opening it. "Hey." Despite looking so reptilian and being unable to cry, she looked worse for wear.

"Aye." Alec curtly replied, assuming his thoughts were correct. She looked like she hadn't slept much and definetly not in good spirits. "'ow are ye fairin'?" He paused for a moment. It was obvious, she looked and probably felt horrible. "... A' brough' ye some food?" He proudly held up a tray with a neat plate of a burger and fries. The youngster didn't know enough that iguanas usually ate primarily vegetation, but the thought was there.

Amaya forced a smile and stepped aside to allow him in. "Best as to be expected..." She then cocked her head, tongue flickering at the food brought to her. She knew she couldn't eat it, but took it in thanks anyway. "Thanks."

"Did ye eat ye greens?" He referred to the salad he'd brought the day before as he entered, fussing about the room like a crazed mother hen as he looked for a proper place to set down the tray. If only he put that much effort into his own lifestyle, perhaps he'd be more presentable half the time.
Suddenly turning around to face her, he decided to address the issue that had been burning in his mind all day. ""ave ye gone ou'?"

"Yes..." Amaya gestured her snout towards the empty bowl, now filled with water. She closed the door, turning around and blinking as he faced directly at her. She was begining to feel like their roles had turned in some odd way.
"N-No... I haven't..." Her scales were already begining to look dull since her heating light had been off... the brightness hurt her eyes and the room was only lit with lamps.

Alec frowned but didn't say anything more on the topic. It wasn't his place to pester and try to convince Amaya that it would be better if she took the time to go outside into the sun. Being couped up in her duplex was unheathly, but she knew that already. She was a smart girl.
Instead, he wandered over to a spare chair and made himself comfortable by sitting down. The burger was probably cold by now and he stared at it from across the way, since he'd set it onto her bed. With a long pause between the two, he decided to try and lighten the subject. "Ye missed th'big dinneh crowd." The teen smirked disdainfully, though one couldn't tell it was an unhappy expression at all. "Nita, Jo'... Chana... " He forced himself to the remember the names, recounting them with little enthusiasm. "... n' Mawlow."

The green iguana watched him silently before making her way to the bed, getting in the same awkward sitting/laying postion she had figured out. "I only know Nita and Chana..." She admitted, not knowing that "Jo" was actually Joliette. "And... Chana and I arn't on good terms." She frowned.

"Realleh?" Alec's brow quirked at the statement, at the same time grateful that she'd taken the bait on his topic change. "She lef' earleh, so a' din't ge' much ou'a 'er..." The teen crossed a leg and leaned back in his chair until he was balancing on two legs, rocking forwards and back. "No' tha'... we all talked much." He smirked, remembering how awkward that meeting had been.
"Mawlow's n' a wheelcheh yanno?" The teen sighed heavily, choosing to remark on the one predominant thing he'd learned in that entire ordeal. "'ow crazeh 's tha'..." He sounded so tired, more mentally than anything.
