Aislinn nodded towards the bed,
"You'll probably be most comfortable sitting there," she informed the other, "But you can sit in the chair if you'd prefer,"
She motioned to the plush chair located next to her book-case,
"Do you want anything? A drink or something?" She had a few things stored in that mini-fridge other than alcohol.
"And really, my hurt's been feeling a little better."

Sayuri sank gratefully onto said bed, tilted a little so that she didnt hurt her tail. She crossed her legs at the ankles, one flipper sliding on top of the other and resting there.
'Sankyu,' she said, and then shook her head.
'I am okay, sankyu.'
She look a little puzzled as she looked at Aislinn.
'You had thing on leg?' she asked hesitantly. She didnt want to cause offence by prying but she was curious as to why the woman wasnt wearing the leg..thing.

Aislinn shrugged,
"I guess whatever they gave me worked some. My leg's supporting my weight a lot better, and I don't need the brace anymore. Still limping, though,"
She grinned half-heartedly, hobbling into the kitchen,
"though you look like you could use a cane or crutches or something. It must be very difficult to walk around like that. Sort of like wearing those swimming flippers around all the time."
She remembered doing that as a kid out on the Boardwalk and the beaches.

'You have had change?' Sayuri looked at Aislinn properly, but couldnt see anything that looked different. Nothing that she could discern that wasnt covered by clothes that was. She cast her eyes floorwards at the mention of her feet.
'It is hard. I do not even know if I can dance anymore. I have fallen on knees so many time..times since change.'

Aislinn sighed. It seemed like Sayuri really needed to have a companion in this, so...she'd have to sacrifice her dignity a bit. She liked the woman, and wanted to be friends with her anyhow.
She pulled up the leg of her jeans just a little bit, revealing the feathery white fur that fell to her ankles,
"Yeah. A little. Just hairy legs, pointy ears, and a bit of grey, really. Oh, and my toenails,"
She wiggled her bare feet to draw attention to that,
"Have you tried dancing? Maybe if you just practice you could do it. If not, that's okay. We could still do a tea party, right? Just serve tea and maybe you could show us how to fold paper or something."

Sayuri tilted her head, examining the furred ankles that Aislinn was showing her.
'It hurt?'
How strange. Sayuri almost wished she had been the one to sprout fur. That seemed a far nicer thing then her tail and flippers. Fur like that could easily be hidden. Of course she wasnt thinking that this was only the first of a few changes for Aislinn, mired a little in self-pity as she was.
'May-be.' she said slowly, then seemed confused.
'Fold paper. Why I do that?'

"'Hurt' doesn't even begin to describe it," Aislinn looked particularly solemn for a moment, remembering. That evening had been hell, and she wanted to forget it, really. Had spent the past few days trying to forget it. The drinking had only helped until she started puking and her head hurt, and then it just made her more miserable, so she'd stopped.
"I don't know. Origami's big over there, right?"

'I am sorry.' Sayuri said with feeling. She knew what it was like, the pain and the panic, not knowing what was happening to your own body.
'Sayuri was at beach when this happen,' she gestured to her feet, the scales on her legs just visible when she shifted, and her kimono skirts moved.
'And..' she smiled nervously.
'Sayuri wasnt alone.' she giggled a little, then shook her head.
'If I fold paper at party, I would not get asked back again. If I can not dance I can play shamisen. Make conversation. Drinking games as well.'

"Ahhh," Aislinn smiled,
"I always liked Origami myself. But hey, drinking games sound fun too. What's a shamisen?"
She stretched,
"You weren't alone? So somebody saw you? That's gotta be almost as weird for them as it is for us."

How strange that Aislinn had heard of teahouse parties but not shamisen.
'String instrument,' she struck a pose, placing her hands in the air as if she were holding an invisible shamisen.
'It has plink plonky noise that can sound strange but it hard to sing with out it.'
She nodded, her cheeks colouring.
'He did not know about Island.' she said, sounding a little sorrowful.
'Oz is my friend, and I did not want him to find out that way but I could not help it.' she lapsed into silence, fretting again about what he must think of how she looked now.

"Ahhh" she'd not done as much research into Japan, despite minoring in their language, as in other countries. She supposed she really ought to do more now that they were planning the teahouse party.
"Oh, Oz!" she smiled, remembering his visit to her Duplex not so long ago,
"He's a love, isn't he, though?" she rather liked the big teddybear, and she was glad he was getting along with Sayuri if she were to be friends with the both of them.
"So it was you he saw before he found me. He was a little upset about the whole island thing, but I gave him a drink and he calmed."

Sayuri nodded without thinking;
'I like him very much.' she rambled.
'I have first kiss with him and when I change he carry me back to his Duplex. I stay in his bed at nigh..' and then she realised how much she had revealed and shut her mouth with a nervous smile, fingers tugging on her kimono sleeve.

Aislinn's eyes widened. She wasn't usually a gossip-monger, but it was different when the information came to her! Well, not that she'd tell anyone, of course. Last thing she wanted was to embarrass poor Sayuri like that. Still, this was definitely something she could tease Oz about the next time she saw -him-, as he already knew about it.
"Aw, that's sweet!" she grinned, "Man, my first kiss was when I was like fourteen...and even then all my friends thought I was late for it."

'I was not to see men other then at teahouse,' Sayuri explained, looking at Aislinn again, having finished picking at a thread on her sleeve.
'It was..nice. Very nice.' she giggled.
'Did Oz-san say about me?' she asked, in a voice that was meant to be casual. She wondered if he went around giving kissing lessons to alot of girls, and didnt want to feel hurt as she did with Sabin.

She shook her head,
"Oh, he didn't. But, he seems really nice. He flirted with me a bit, but I think it's probably because I flirted with him-- I have a tendency to do that, you know."
She smiled. This was really sweet!
"Maybe we could get him to help out with setting things up for the teahouse party."
