"Alright," Emerwyn said, still softer. "Now, try not to speak anymore. I'll get you back alright. Lean on me."
Slowly, she made her way out of the cafeteria. It took her a moment to figure out where duplex 42 would be. There were so many now.
But, make it they did, and Emerwyn opened the door for Nita to enter.

(( NEW RP ))
Avery nearly forgot about eating any food until his stomach started to hurt - he had been far to busy stressing out and worrying about this whole thing with Aubrey being attacked and them getting blamed for it. With a sigh he headed out to the cafeteria which seemed to be empty, helping himself to some food and sitting down at a table.
After a few bites, however, he just started to poke at his food with his fork as he got lost in thought again. Maybe he shouldn't even bother - someone else could figure it out, right? He didn't even know where to start at any rate, and like hell he was going to risk getting attacked again by talking to people he thought might have done it.

Billy had awoken that morning sore all over. Across his blue octopus skin, his shoulder and neck were brused darkly, other bruses riddled about his body, but conceiled by his strangely marked skin. He had spent the whole morning alone in his duplex, the panic outside over the catastrophy never reaching him. He didn't want to think about it.
After a while, hunger took over, and he realized he needed to at least make his way to the cafeteria. If he was lucky, no one would see him. He took his new crutches, and managed to hobble his way through the doors, keeping his head down and tentacles outstretched for a tray, not daring to look if anyone was there.

At first Avery hadn't realized someone had walked into the cafeteria - but then he heard the clacking of crutches on the floor, he looked up.
And he dropped his fork with a loud clatter onto his plate, gasping out loud in surprise.
He stood up abruptly, wondering and being careful not to say out loud - what the ******** is that!? He tried not to stare, his eyes wide, but he couldn't look away. He was used to seeing furry people, and hell, even Awen wasn't that bad. But this... so many tentacles, it didn't look like it even had hands anymore, and covered with blue skin.

At the sound of movement, Billy stopped at the sushibar. As what tentantacles that weren't still aching from his fight the night befor loaded his tray with raw fish, he stole a glance over his shoulder. Without the buzz of his narcotics, his stamina for fighting had slackened. "Wha't'feck r'gawkin' at?" He grunted, not recognizing the dog-man, despite their long ago meeting when they both were still human, and Billy had still been lost to his powder.

"Uh - I --" Avery stammered, feeling almost surprised when the creature spoke to him. But it - he - used to be human, too, so why was he so surprised? That accent sounded... familiar, but Avery couldn't quite recognize the person anymore, either. He had changed so much since their last meeting.
"Um. Sorry, I just - you startled me," he said. This man is just like me, Avery thought, trying to calm himself down and stop being so freaked out by the man's appearance. He used to be human too, so I shouldn't stare. He slowly sat back down, trying to ignore his thoughts of just taking his food back to his duplex. "Do you, er, need any help?" Avery asked, glancing at the crutches and secretly hoping the other man would say no.

Billy finished loading his tray, thankfull of his extra limbs. He could at least still function as best as he was able, even with two tied up in the crutches. He eased his way towards the tables, making sure to sit a few tables away from the blond-haired man. "I won' be long, I promise," he growled, easing himself into a seat with his back to him, "So y'don' gotta' look a' me fer' long."

Avery flinched slightly at the comment, feeling guilty. "No, I... I'm sorry. Really, you just startled me, that's all - I didn't hear you come in," he lied. "You don't have to... to rush, or anything." He wasn't sure what to say to make the situation better, and felt very awkward now. Maybe getting up to sit by him would make him feel better?
Avery stood up, picking up his tray and walking over to the table the octopus-man was sitting at. He sat down across from him, setting his tray down as well. "Sorry. Maybe we got off on a bad start, here..." he had been about to introduce himself, when he looked closer at Billy's face - and Avery suddenly placed the accent. "Billy!?" he gasped.

At the sudden shout, Billy jumped but thankfully only a little dribble of ink slid down from his lips. He grunted in frustration, picking up a napkin in a tentacle to dab his beard, "Sound s'prised. We met b'fer?"

"Yeah - you... don't remember? You were, uh, hitting on me before," Avery said, and then instantly regretting it. Maybe he shouldn't have reminded him of that... it had been amusing before, but now he hoped Billy wouldn't try again.
"My name is Avery. We met before either of us.... changed, in here," he said, waving a hand to indicate the cafeteria. Avery noticed the dark liquid dribble from Billy's mouth, and he blinked. "Um... are you okay? You have some... dark stuff coming out of your mouth..."

He spat into the napkin, violet eyes narrowed, "Avery, eh? Ain' tha' a boy's name?" Once he was properly blotted, he dropped the napkin onto the table. "An' tha' was ink. Side effect, I s'pose," he chuckled bitterly. "An' wah'aboo' y', then? Excreetin' anyt'in?"

"Well... no, I can't say that I have," he chuckled a little. "But, I've got a tail now, and stupid looking floppy ears... it's been a little while since my first change. I think I'm turning into a dog," he said.
Avery flushed a little. "Uh. And actually, I think Avery can be used for both girls and guys... but, uh," he shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "In this case, yes... I'm a guy," he mumbled the last part, glancing up at him to see his reaction.

"Yer a bloody girly lookin' lad," He snorted, shoving a piece of raw fish into his mouth with a tentacle.

Avery shrugged a little. "I guess so," he said, picking up his fork to resume eating as well. "I don't mind, really, even though a lot of people mistake me for a girl... it doesn't bother me. I like--" he paused for a moment. "I mean... I liked how I looked. I could go without this fur..."
