Aubrey chuckled softly. "Well I didn't say they wouldn't look ridiculous." She shook her head. "Maybe you're better off in the buff..." it almost sounded as if she was going to continue that sentence, but she closed her mouth after a beat and just let the smile linger on her lips.

His leg jiggled nerviously as his tentacles resituated again. He ashed on the floor again, a tentacle pulling the pack out again, "I brough' somethin'."

Aubrey watched the ashes with a disapproving look, but didn't say anything. Someone would clearn it up...and he had the right, she supposed, this small luxury.
Her eyes went back up to him. Her left hand scratched her neck in a nervous gesture, sending the lightly flashing off the rock on it. "Brought me something?"

His eyes were down on the pack clutched in his suckers, the skinny tips of his foreign appendages wriggling in to dig among the cigarettes and he didn't notice the glimmer. Perhaps if he had, he wouldn't have continued, pulling something free to offer out to her, "I don' got ears anymore, really, so I figured..."

Aubrey leaned forward a bit in her hair, her head cocking curiously. She reached out with her right hand, palm up. She had no idea what to except readlly, regardless the fact that he mentioned the ear.

"Fer yer collection," He grunted as a crusted, rather well loved looking hoop earing fell into her palm. "No use t'me now."

Aubrey looked at him, trying to read his expression. She brought it closer to her and frowned sympathetically, turning it over in her hands a few times. She looked...well, touched. "Why are you giving it to me?" she asked smally.

"Well, y'already go' me bloody severed arm an' me damn ball, I'd ha' sent y'me ears in a package ifn' they hadn' gone an' shriveled up ni' month ago," He grunted, face splotching with red, "Yer th'sicko wha' likes collectin' body parts, I thoughtcha'd laugh." That said, he reached for his crutches clumsily.

Aubrey frowned. "I'm not laughing." She slipped it carefully into her labcoat pocket. "Thanks, I suppose." She gave him a small, graitful smile. She watched him grab for his crutches and looked almost sad. "Leaving already?"

"Wha' y'wanna' talk aboo' vometin' ink? Cause no' much else is new wit' me," He babbled, managing to wrench himself upright, knocking out a fresh cigarette in his apparent nerviousness.

Aubrey lurched forward to grab it by instinct, wincing and frowning as her motion was obviously pointless in her chair. "I just, I don't know. Last time we saw each other... uhm..." she tried to look away, hoping her face wasn't as flushing as much as it felt like it was. "Things were ... weird, I know. So if there's something you wanted to say... I'll listen."

He stared at the wall for a few moments befor he laughed again, shaking his head as he chuckled quietly, "Jes' thankin' y'fer th'bloody fish-bowl."

"Hey! That was one expensive fish bow!" she said, trying to keep her voice playful.
"But you're welcome."
She paused for a second. "Hey, uhm.. I probably shouldn't be telling you this.." she lowered her a voice and gave a fertive glance around. "But, well.. there's a new doc around here. I don't really trust her. At all. She's mentioned behavoir modification and she's been giving out pills to some islanders and she hasn't reported them to me. SO I don't know what they are yet. But anyway, her name is Dr. Frost... I'd tried to stay away from her if you can."
She sighed, wondering if that made sense.
"I just..don't trust her."

He turned to glance at her with raised brows, giving a nervious sniff, "Wha' sor' o' pills?"

"I don't know yet," she said, with a bit of annoyance. "She's yet to give out an official report to me. Which is why I'm suspicious."
She looked around again. "But I intend to find out."
