Marshall blinked a few times, not sure where exactly the dog came from. "...Strange." Marshall murmured, only knowing of a few dogs on the island. One belonged to Gaius, another to Liamh, and that Antony girl had oned if he was mistaken. That one, however, was not one he remembered.
With caution, Marshall followed the dog, and was relieved to see a familiar green girl: Amaya! He hadn't seen her since Halloween...And she wasn't looking that great, that was for sure.
"H-Hey!" Marshall called out shyly to the young woman.

Donner only stopped once on his run back to Amaya to grab the tennis ball as he ran past it. He then proudly walked up to his owner and handed it back to her. "Good boy." She gave a little smile and pet his head.
Both of them looked over as Marshall called out, their reactions nearly polar opposites. The iguana girl smiled marginally and stood up, brushing the sand off her yellow dress. Even though he had changed last time she saw him, Marshall still looked like himself and wasn't a freak of nature to her eyes. When you lived with it long enough, you got used to seeing those you knew change. "Hi Marshall."
Donner, however, was not pleased. Why has this man followed him? Didn't he take the growl as a warning? He stood up again to face the penguin man and like before his head lowered and his tail stood up as he began growling.

"Whatchu barkin' at?" Marshall said, glaring down at the dog. It'd be a perfectly pleasant dog if it wasn't so keen on ripping out his jugular. His attention then turned to the naturally quiet iguana girl.
"Amaya...Ummm...I'm sorry. About Halloween." he said, speaking before thinking again, "I-I'm sorry I left in the middle of it. But there was that walk and...Maan, I should of found you months ago!" Marshall said, slapping his fore-head with his flipper.

"Donner, hush. Be nice." The girl scolded, causing the canine to draw his ears back and then sit down at her feet. Although he made sure he was still between them if the need to bite arose and his eyes never left the penguin man.
"Halloween?" Amaya repeated as if to refresh her memory. Oh, right... they had all gone off on that walk and she had stayed behind, then Marshall had never come back for her. Though no one really did after seeing what she assumed to be the graveyard Alec had shown her. "Oh, s'ok. It doesn't matter." Her tongue flickered and she shrugged, not wanting to act like it effected her all that much when it did.
She knew she was just being selfish though. If she had gone on it she probably wouldn't have come back either.

"But it wasn't okay!" Marshall argued, "I was your Chaperonage, so I should've stayed back with you so...ummm...I'm sorry." Marshall said with a sigh, feeling like perhaps he was the biggest jerk on the island. Especially since he was making such a scene out of it when she didn't even seem to care!
"So...Donner's his name?" Marshall asked, trying to change the conversation, rubbing his cast.

"It's okay, really." Amaya reassured, though went along with the change in subject since he obviously wanted it changed. "Yeah, I think the labs gave him to me for Christmas." She said, then noticed his cast when he brought attention to it.
"... What happened? If you don't mind me asking." She looked up at him, head cocked to the side.

"Huh? Oh...Well, Gaius, you know him, right? Well he's building this theatre thing, and um, I was kind of helping, and my freind, Oz, giant british guy can't miss him, well he kind of changed and I was in the wrong place in the wrong time." Marshall explained quickly.
"Its not as bad as it looks...I think they can take off the cast next week or some thing." Marshall added, in case she was worried.

Amaya nodded along as he told his story in brief, one person of which she didn't know. "Well it's good that it's healing." She said, not wanting to dwell on the injury too long as it was probably something he didn't want to really talk about. Anything even remotely connected to a change was normally something avoided.
"So what's this theater thing?" She asked, having not heard mention of it anywhere. Then again she had been cooped up all by herself for the past month.

"Well, Gaius and Billy, um, he's kind of this weird octopus thing, they decided that they wanted some thing that was pure Islander, y'know? Some thing the labs didn't have any thing to do with? So, they decided on a theatre. A lot of the guys around the village are helpin' out." Marshall said, almost as if he was proud of the whole thing, even though all he had done so far was dig holes.
"So, how you've been?"

"...Oh... I know Billy." Amaya said, sounding less than happy. Even though she hadn't caught his name, an octopus man that nearly drowned you wasn't something you could easily forget. The girl listened to him, wondering how long this project had been going on and how long it would take for the labs to destroy it or mess with it in some way. Nothing was pure islander around here... the labs controlled everything, even their very lives.
"Hm?" She looked back up at him, having drifted into her own thoughts. "Oh, fine. I've been fine." A blatant lie, but she wasn't going to mention everything she had been through since Christmas. No one needed to know and the less people that did the better.

"Oh...Well, thats good to hear." Marshall said. This was probably what people would call "awkward silence", some thing Marshall wasn't entirely use to. Less than fun, that was certain.
"So...Umm..." Marshall stammered, kicking a little sand. He really wish he had some thing to say. Or if she wasn't just so...polite about it all.

And so the awkward silence ensued. Amaya's tongue flickered nervously, not really having anything to say. What was there to say? Oh by the way Marshall I birthed a ton of eggs but they were all dead and I never even had sex before! HAHAHA!
"Besides the breaking, have you been okay? Nothing else really going on?" She asked as a lame attempt at conversation. The girl wasn't sure what she liked better, awkward silence or complete solitude. The art of conversation had seriously been lost to her a long time ago.

"Lets see...Theater, I changed (though thats pretty damn obvious), every one got a dog but me...Ummm...Lord, I'm pretty damn boring, aren't I?" Marshall chuckled, looking down at Donner, who was less than enthusiastic that Marshall had yet to leave. Or at least, thats the vibe the penguin man got.

Indeed, Donner seemed rather displeased of his presence and continued to glare and growl under his breath. "Heh, better it being boring than traumatic." She answered, then looked down at her pet. "Did other people get dogs then?"

"Well...Yeah, I guess so." Marshall said with a small shrug and a smile. He wasn't sure what she meant by 'traumatic', though. Had some thing happened since he saw her last?
"Oh! Yeah! A lot of people. Um, whats her name...Antony! I think she got one! And Gaius, of course. I think Liamh got one as well..." Marshall said, listing off the known dog owners.
