Shenzi nodded in understanding; before the island, she had stretched every night, and practiced her dancing at least two hours every other day. She had barely even stretched since she'd gotten here... "Yeah, cutting on exerrcisse can really hurrt you. I dancce, or ussed to, at leasst. Had a band, too." That made her ears twitch again, but she shrugged, deciding not to think about it.
Leaning back on her palms, her nails digging into the dirt, she looked up at him, the slit pupils in her blue eyes obvious. "Sso what elsse do you like do do? Can't imagine you completely quitting exerrcisse forr college." She said, grinning slightly.

He scratched at his ear idly while listening ot her, finding it interesting that she had been a dancer and in a band. He'd only been a star athlete in high school that went onto professional traniing in veterinary and zoological sciences. It was good enough for him, but he did become envious of others who didn't cram four subjects at a time so they could reach their happiness. Jordan often wondered -before the ilsand, that is- what his life could have bene like if he'd continued his athletic pursuits and stayed at the peak of physical fitness.
Those thoughts came back to him. Jordan stared longingly out at the water as he imagined himself becoming a beloved athlete, praised and worshipped by the masses, but he simply sighed. When Shenzi asked what else he did, Jordan wasn't sure how to answer that without tipping her off to his lab connections. "I.. well.. I've spent the last six years earning degrees in veterinary medicine and zoology..." that was innocent enough, right? "..and.. I'm thinking of opening a clinic in the village.. I'd be sort of a doctor for injured animals and the people here, as well."
Jordan turned slowly to her, afraid of what she'd think, putting on a weak, nervous smile.

Shenzi's ears pricked forward slightly at that admission, ever the feline motions. "Rreally? A clinic? A frriend of mine wanted to do ssomething like that with herr boyfrriend. Aisslinn Derrry? Have you met herr?" She asked; she was positive Ais' had brought up the fact that Brian was interested in it too. Maybe the three could help each other out with it.
"But yeah, that'ss cool. Wass neverr into the doctorr sstuff, but it'ss a good thing to do. Only thing I everr did wass ssing and dancce. Kinda hoping the hisss fadess." Shenzi said, though someone could tell from her tone of voice that she doubted it.

"I've met Aislinn. She helped me..." he paused, frowning at what she did help him with and shook his head as he didn't want to think about it at all. He didn't want ot think about how mad the pteradactyl was now and the friendship he'd screwed over. Jordan held up his paws "It's difficult to write legibly anymore, so she helped me out. She seemed nice." He sighed again. Jordan felt like he was nothing more than a jerk lately and that ate at him deeply. He was only making lives miserable by acting so out of character- but... he supposed that was partially the natural effect the island had on people.
"Sometimes I feel like I've wasted my life with all of this animal nonsense." he muttered with annoyance to himself "But, there's nothing I can do about that now, but use the knowledge I have to help those around me." He'd leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and cupping his furry chin in his paws. She could finally see what he'd been hiding from her sight if she glanced at his stomach, at those wiggling, tiny paws that had emerged from his body. "I guess I shouldn't be complaining, though... I'm sorry."

Shenzi looked over her shoulder at her own hands, claws, when he told how how Ais had helped him. She at least was somewhat lucky; birds had flexible claws, so she could still write. Not that she really needed to, but still. "Aiss' iss cool. Only perrsson here I've met sso farr that hass any ssensse of fasshion." She said jokingly, grinning at her own apparel; vivid, hard to forget colors in a pair of close capris and a simple tanktop, the wings not allowing for much more.
When he leaned forward, though, she saw the little paws, and frowned slightly. "You've got two pawss from yourr belly." Shenzi said, stating the obvious, though she didn't mean it in that way. Wait... Ais'! Aislinn had the two things from her belly, too. Did that mean he was going into a centaur? Dogtaur?

"Clothing's not really an option for me anymore, unless you consider the yeti look fashionable." he tried to joke back. "And I'm not about to walk around naked.." he didn't like how the material of the shorts rubbed wrong in his fur, but he was too proud to streak while he still had a choice in the matter. At least the shorts that he'd chosen to wear were breathable and meant for outdoor activity. But it did make him uncomfortably warm. "I think that I'd actually manage to repel more people away from me.." he almost whispered the last part "It's not been an easy adjustment for me here.. and now.."
As he was about to mention the protusions from his stomach, she'd beat him to the punch as he gripped them to cease their movement for at least now. "Yeah.. I thought I was six for weeks. Turned out it was these things moving and kicking inside me for almost two months.." Jordan had no clue what was happenign to him and having met Victor he was scared there was something wrong with his serum.

"Oh, going naked issn't so bad." She said teasingly, grinning at him. "Orr, you could get one of thosse ssarrong thingss, the wrrap arround sskirrt. That'd prro'lly worrk quite well." Shenzi couldn't imagine the dog man in a skirt, but it was still an amusing thought.
"Aiss' hass got them too. Little legss, I mean. Frrom herr belly." Shenzi said quickly, patting her belly lightly with a fingertip. Aislinn also had to use a walker just to get around, but they had something in common at least.

Jordan couldn't hold the laughter back at that comment. Was she trying to urge him to go around naked? It was highly amusing to hear it and the sound of his own laughter was comforting. Jordan didn't have a whole lot to laugh about anymore. Jordan tilted his head dcown to Shenzi, playing along with her, and smirked "I know I make this look good, but I think you just want to see me strip." he laughed heartilly again, feeling all his tension pushed aside for now.
At first he thought she'd meant a thong and that made him laugh even more about it as he pictured himself walking around in a vibrantly-colored speedo that showed clearly against his stark white fur, curly tail poking out the back wagging happilly. He actually laughed so hard that he fell backwards off his rock, legs hanging over the makeshift seat as he didn't even bother to pick himself up. "I haven't laughed like this in so long. Thank you so much." he chortled and broke out laughing again as he imagined himself in ther speedo, strutting his stuff. "I don't think anyone wants to see me in a lime green speedo." he sputtered between choking laughs.

Shenzi put on a sly look, grinning broadly still. "Jusst sso ssmokin' good, I can't rressisst." She said, laughing as she gave him a wink, the laugh sounding more human then her voice currently did.
When he fell over from the laughter though, the grin was still on her face, and she raised an eyebrow. "Am I that funny? Maybe I sshould apply a** the island comedian. I'm ssurre I could get dozenss of sspeedo-wearring men tail chassing me." She said jokingly, but her face was a mask of seriousness. Until he mentioned himself in a lime green speedo.
A titter escaped, before she let out a loud laugh, holding herself up with her hands at the idea of a fur-man in something so skimpy. "Though it would probably be more comfortable for you then shorts, I think I'll have to pass up that idea."

He just couldn't stop laughing as he pulled himself into an upright sitting position. Jordan licked his paw and made a sizzling noise as he touched his tail. "You know it. I'm just too smokin' hot to touch. Everyone will have to live in torment knowing they can't compare." he threw his head to the side, his long locks of white-streaked hair cascading through the air with a paw running through his bangs to the back of his head. She was stroking his vane ego even if she was only playing. He needed this when he felt so insecure about his body and he leaned back, strutting a premadonna stance. "Some of us are just born with it." he smiled.
At the next comment, Jordan suddenly flushed hotly, the reddening in his cheeks a stark contrast to his white facial fur. He fidgeted and his eyes went wide, blushing incredibly as he sat up immediately, covering his stirring crotch with his paws at the imagery of dozens of speedo-clad men -in his mind, muscular men- tail-chasing after him. It was embarrassing as he didn't know how to tell people his sexuality without getting disturbed or disgusted reactions. In fact, the only two who knew were Freddie and Kim.. and well.. that was enough to write volumes.
Jordan kept himself leaned forward and his paws folded over the material of his shorts as he chuckled along with her. "Yeah, I'm sure that I'd be more comfortable in a speedo too. It's the perfect designer wear for this setting and climate." he tried to keep the laughter going.

She let off another laugh as he did the corny thumb-to-waist-giving-steam gesture; it was cheesy and over used, but definately appropriate for the situation. "Mm-hmm, of courrsse, they jusst envy everryone elsse of their ssteamynesss."
When she saw the blush on his cheeks after the mention of speedos, she raised an eyebrow. Either he's gay and in denial, or a total virgin and embarassed. I doubt it's the second, since he was strutting with the 'steam' a second ago. After that went through her head, she grinned mischieviously, deciding to try something. Certainly outgoing, it would also determine what she thought. If not, it might be a little embarassing, but she'd done worse, much worse, things in her life. Her grandparents had probably written down every one to hold against her every time she visited.
She grinned, leaning towards him, her face an inch or two from his as she grinned broadly. "Infinately morre comforrtable."

Jordan couldn’t help but smirk at the griffon girl. Shenzi was hitting all the right buttons to move his vanity into full gear again. She was making him feel good about himself where he hadn’t been able to.
Of course, feeling good and knowing he’d been hot stuff –and still was, to a degree- had left an impression on his mind. He tried not to strut about like the c**k of the walk more recently in life, but hell, when else was he going to get that opportunity if not here on the island? He was in the prime of his life, good looking- for a dog, and he was at that time in his life where his body wanted to sow its oats --- into a pretty fine piece of prime beefcake.
OH MY GOD SHE'S HITTING ON ME!! ran through his mind. His eyes went wide and he nervously smiled, trying to be friendly still. He whined a bit as she gave Jordan cause to wonder if he'd led her on at all in the past few moments. He hadn’t meant to if he had and he certainly didn’t to break another person’s spirit. He wiggled on his rear an inch or two back, nervous about this, leaving his tented shorts uncovered. A bead of sweat rolled down the center of his forehead down to his cold, wet, black nose, which wriggled in response. He suddenly felt like he was in the Twilight Zone as punishment for his recent tryst of lies. He’d finally come out to others and now he was being hit on? “I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.. but.. I’m…” he tried to say it, wanted to say it, had to say it “..gay.”

Shenzi started grinning in triumph as she leant back, folding her arms across her chest with a smile. "Thought sso. Ssorrry if I put you on the sspot." She said, her smile turning sympathetic. "Leasst I got you to ssay it out loud though, rright?" She said, giving him a pat on the hand.
"But nahh, wass jusst tessting ssomething." Shenzi said with a crooked grin. She was sorry, but at the same time she wasn't. She wasn't the sort of person that minded flirting when she really felt nothing, but it was the easiest way to make sure of what she thought.

Jordan chuckled neervously as she backed up and vaguely explained things, giving Jordan the opportunity to scramble to his paws and hide his embarrassment in a slightly unstable crouch upon his haunches with his paws across his midsection. By the grinning, he wondered if she’d enjoyed making him confess his sexuality to her. “Yeah.. it’s.. uhm.. it’s alright.” His brow arched slightly. “I guess you did get me to say it.. but.. at least you’re not freaking out.. so it’s cool..”
Jordan steadied himself by laying one paw on the rock he’d just been sitting on. Jordan was being more cautious not to have a repeat incident, as to avoid anymore misunderstandings, bruised feelings, and lost friendships. At least Shenzi wasn’t transforming.. His smile was lost for a moment, but he literally shook it out, making his ears flap against his head and he was grinning along with her. “Again, I’m really sorry if I led you on at all.. I didn’t mean to, if I had.”

She let out a small laugh, grinning still. "What I'm guesssing iss it'ss ssomething you don't rreally want to admit, but ssaying it can't hurrt. I'm bi mysself, sso it'ss all cool."
At the second apology, she grinned again, waving a hand. "Nah, nah, it'ss fine. I joke arround like that with my frriendss."
