New RP
Amaya didn't normally go to the beach unless it was to bask. Or to the river or lake since she didn't normally see a point. Afterall, just taking a shower reminded her of how she looked.
But somehow, the urge to take a swim in such weather had built up enough that she actually decided to go ahead and do it. Wasn't like anyone would have to see her. So after putting on her black swimsuit and then a shirt and a skirt over that, she headed towards the lake.
Once she was there she looked down at the water and frowned at what stared up at her from the surface. But... oh well. She was here.
After looking around quiet a few times she finally quickly stripped down to her swimsuit and plunged in. It amazed her how easy swimming was now... Her form moved from side to side, much like an aligator would. Her tail did most of the thrusting while her limbs stayed at her sides. It felt like she could hold her breath a little longer too.
After a nice dunk she slowly popped her head back above the surface and let out a sigh. The water felt pretty good, her strong tail allowing her to tred water rather easily along with her large feet.

Awen had been peacefully enjoying her time in the lake. Her transformations had left her still sore, but in the water without the pressures and tense feeling to attempting to stay upright all the time, she was able to drift and let the water guide her. She was slowly recovering from the sores, but, she suspected, it was quicker than most got over it.
Her eyes had been closed as she rested in some niche under the water, below a sunken log, when she felt it. A strange movement in the water, it was something large and awkward, nothing that was normally apart of her domain. She looked up as the shadow passed over her and blocked out part of the sun. it took a moment to realise who it was above all that splashing and swishing.
Awen grinned and pushed off from her resting place. She swam a slow circle upwards before breaking the surface a ways infront of her reptilian friend.
"Hey Amaya." She said with a smile. Blinking to get here eyes adjusted to above the water.

"JESUS!" The green iguana's tail lashed behind her, sending her propelling back a few feet from Awen. Though when she realized who it was, she let out a sigh of relife and put a large hand over her heart.
"God... you scared the crap out of me." Why had she been so jumpy lately?
Oh. Well. There was the whole "almost getting eaten" thing. And the whole deal involving Aubrey. Yeah. She had a reason.
The last thing on her mind was the slight change in Awen's facial structure. Everything that had changed mostly was still hidden under the water. "Sorry Awen, been jumpy." Amaya sunk down in the water a little, propelling closer again. "How've you been?"

"No, no, no!" Awen waved one of her hands above the water in protest. "Don't be sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't been to startle you. Just saw you swimming and thought I hadn't seen you," or anyone... "in awhile and thought it would be nice to say hi."
She gave an apologetic grin and then shook her head slowly. "I've been... well. Alright I guess. As much as this place will allow. I mean... changing, being bored out of my mind, scared to death of recent events...the usual?" She managed a light chuckle.

The girl managed a laugh. "Yeah, same here actually." She ducked down, blowing bubbled with her nose for a moment in silence until she looked up at her friend's face again.
"Did you... change again?"

Awne blinked in surprise at the question. Did she really have to ask? Awen wondered briefly if iguanas had good eyesight and if Amaya just couldn't tell.
"Just today...actually..." She nodded and then titled her head slightly. Isn't it obvious? I mean... I nearly gave Alec a heart attack when he first saw me!"

"Oh... sorry. But, not really. Unless you actually really look. Your face is a little rounder and stuff, but I can't see underwater or anything." Amaya's eyesight haden't changed from when she first came on the island, so she didn't have the best eyesight around.
Green eyes then traveled to the water's surface, the blur of Awen's arm-fins and large feet was enough to tell her where most of the changes were. The lizard frowned and looked back up at her. "The third time seems to be one of the worst, I think..." Afterall, that was when she had lost her hair. "You're keeping your hair though, that's good."

Awen seemed slightly confused but also relieved when Amaya mentions her reasoning for not knowing the change. A hand raised from the water and felt her now rounded face. "Really? It's not that much different then...?" She muttered to herself.
She lowered her hand and shook her head a little. "But some good hair does me!" She laughed a little bit. "All it ever does is get more knots and tangles, sleeping in water every night isn't exactly good for your hair, I think." She demonstrated by trying to pull her fingers through her hair and not getting even a centimetre before it getting caught. "Honestly with this rat's nest I wouldn't mind giving it up at this point."
She paused a moment as a dumbfounded look crossed her face. The reason that Amaya would have even mentioned hair dawned on Awen as she quickly glanced up to the top of the scaley girl's head. Instantly she blushed and started to fumble for words. Awen, at least, didn't find the lack of hair to be a bad looking on the girl, and she had forgotten how self conscious Amaya had been about it.
"But, uh, well..er.. You know I'd trade you if we could Amaya?" She tried to give the girl a smile.

Amaya just gave her a sad smile. "Thanks, but I'll let you keep it. Blue clashes with green." Her face twitched a little and she blew more bubbled with her nose, her feet keeping her up out of the water and in one spot.
"But you don't look that bad. You still gave the same eyes." And you're still pretty. Though she refrained from saying such a thing. It was bad enough she probably made Awen feel bad after mentioning her hair. Guilt-tripping = rude and stupid.
It was obvious from her posture, her soft speaking tone, and her expressions no matter how much she tried to look happy; the teen was still having issues.

"I have the same eyes, really? They don't feel the same... or.. see the same as they used to. Everything's kind of blurrier above water now. Brighter too..."
The manta paused a moment and then seemed as if something just clicked into her head.
"Hey! I'm wearing green! It so does not clash! You brat, stabbing at my fashion sense!" She laughed a little bit and shook her head, meaning to lighten the mood a bit.

"They look a little more... Asian, I guess you could say? But they're the same colour." Amaya watched a stick float passed them, though was snapped back to reality at the exclaimation.
"I mean blue hair with scales, not clothing!" She smiled a little and stuck out her large pink tongue.

Awen laughed a little bit and nodded. "OOooh sure! Cover it up now!" She sniffed a few times dramatically. "You know Amaya I can take the hint." She grinned. "I'll just have to order a whole new wardrobe!" She paused and looked Amaya over before taking on a more serious, but still light hearted, tone. "Actually that honestly doesn't sound like a half bad idea anyway... Maybe we could get some catalogs and get some new stuff, jsut the two of us huh?"
Awen thought it might make her feel better at least.
"I mean it's no shopping trip to the mall or anything but.. it's something?"

The reptile blinked, her tail still swaying back and forth in the water to keep her upright. "I dunno... I'm too scared to ask the labs for anything." She bit her bottom lip. "The last thing they gave me was iguana skin shoes... for Christmas."
Amaya shuddered, wondering what it had been like for those poor iguanas that had been produced into footwear. "I've just tried to stay away from the staff. That way I kind of fall off their raidar and they leave me alone..." She fiddled with her claws underwater, watching them through the blur of the surface.

"Oh..." Awen frowned and looked away. She swayed back and forth in the water slowly. The last thing she had gotten from the labs, besides the brand spiffy new injection, was her xbox 360 and bathing suits. How could they give Amaya iguana skin boots for Christmas, yet give Awen a PSP that plays under water?
Why did the staff test some people and tempt others? They were not at all being fair to everyone. It's not like Amaya had tried to start a rally against them or anything! Awen sighed slowly and shook her head angrily.
Then she shook it again defeatedly. "I'm sorry Amaya..."

"It's okay. They haven't bothered me or talked to me since the lockout or anything..." The iguana sounded like she was talking about playground bullies at school or something.
"They don't... bother you, do they?" She asked, concerned.
