Awen's eyes snapped back to the scaled girl immediately once she asked the question. "Oh! No, no... Not at all actually."
Maybe the whole Sabin-Aubrey fight from before the incedent wasn't spreading as much as Awen thought it would. Maybe it was simply that Aubrey's near death and the whole investigation thing had drawn people's attentions away? Awen was thankful for all of this...

"That's good. Nice to know they're actually leaving us alone now." Amaya pursed her almost non-existant lips.
"Oh, and I think Zach was the one who hurt Aubrey." She said plainly.

"Really?" Awen seemed genuienly shocked by this. She hadn't seen him...at all since his changes began, as far as she remembers, so she didn't ever catch wind of him being very violent. "I always thought he would end up just hiding in his duplex somewhere with a tin foil hat!"

At that, the girl actually laughed. "Me too, but I don't think he was in the right mind. Because I think right afterwards he attacked me... Chubbs stepped in though, so it's okay. And he appologized. Which is why I don't think he knew exactly what he was doing."

Awen nodded slowly. "I hope he's okay. I mean... they didn't, haven't....done anything to him have they?" The girl remembered what happened to Jamal when he attacked a staff member, or even to Billy who attacked Colche. Both rather...cruel punishments in any case.

"I... don't think so. He seemed pretty shooken up, but that's to be expected." She paused. "Which is surprising, actually. Since she's second in command and all. I would have expected Moreau to kill him..." Amaya frowned.

For a time Awen would have thought that would make sense too, but somethig else had occured to her that was a little more fitting. "Moreau wouldn't kill one of his experiments.... even if it attacked Aubrey. From what I gather he cares more for his work than anything." She shook her head slowly.
"Besides, serums are expensive, and Moreau doesn't like wasting." She mentioned remembering what Sabin had told her of his pets.

"Hm, guess your right... but what about if we're done changing? As far as I know, both of us have only one more to go..." The lizard's expression turned grave. "Will they just kill us then...?"

Awen's eyes widened a little. "There's more?? I thought for sure this was the last time... I mean.." She looked at herself briefly. "How much more manta-ing can they do?"
Then Amaya's question really hit her. A grave look passed her face, if but briefly. She thought it was possible. After all, at the rate new islanders were pouring in... there was not way they'd all fit onto the island if they kept this up. But, she wouldn't reveal those thoughts. She hmmed and hawed a few times then shook her head resolutely. "No way. I'm sure there would still be much data to gain from us after we're done changing. Or maybe they'll decide to see what happens when they make a serum from our DNA and administer it to someone, or something." She shrugged. "There are still possibilities for research once we're done changing...."

More research... Amaya's expression turned even sadder. She would rather be put down then have to go through more poking and proding to see how she ticked.
And if the case was just that, making them a permanent lab rat... maybe just giving it all up was better. Though it all depended on how animalistic she would get. Would she turn into a huge iguana or something? Like Pyroth seemed to be heading towards? If that was the case, then the next change would bound to be the worst.
The teen's expression turned even darker, but she didn't say anything for what seemed like forever.
"Yeah... more research. Well, I better go. I'll see you around, Awen." Forcing a small smile towards the manta girl, she started towards the bank.

Awen winced and watched the iguana start swimming back to shore. Why was it, around Amaya this stupid manta always said the exact wrong thing? She shook her head slowly and was about to turn away when something happened.
The blue haired girl's stomach growled quite loudly and Awen realised she hadn't even eaten yet today. She frowned and glanced back to the village thinking about just how difficult it would be to run to the cafe for a bite.
She swam after Amaya. "Hey one sec..." She tried a really apologetic smile as she watched the iguana. "Um... do you think... you could, um, help me over to the cafeteria? I mean... if you don't want to, or just have someplace else to be I understand. I just... can't really walk very well at all, and my feet..er..fin..things... hurt a lot when I step on them with my weight... I know this isn't a time for asking favours...as I've clearly upset you..but...sorry..."

Amaya blinked at the request, her skirt on. She turned and looked at the manta ray, smiling as well. "It's not your fault, I just seem to get down easily. And sure, I can help you there." She pulled her shirt on, careful of her large hands and claws.
The reptile helped Awen to the cafeteria, but wasn't able to stay with her long. Cold water on scales + AC = frozen iguana. So after helping her out as much as she could, she headed back to her own duplex.

New RP
It had been days and still Billy hadn't gone back to his duplex. When he had sobered enough, he had fished, riding the octopus instincts untill he could actually snag a fish with his tentacles trailing in the water. He would have been starving if he had been coherent.
A sucker full of pills. A suckle of lake water. Sharp teeth ripping at raw fish flesh. He lay on his rock, backpack and crutches stowed away in an upper crevas away from the rain and the water safe and dry. They weren't his up and ready to go cocaine, but it made the pain stop. It made everything stop. Nothing mattered anymore. And it felt good.
The doctor knows the best medicine, right?

Emerwyn stretched widely. She hadn't been getting out quite so much the past few days. As a matter of fact, she was beginning to feel a little more than under the weather. Ian had just undergone another transformation. It felt odd to her. Now, for the first time, she almost wanted to transform again, to catch up with him. Some things about him became so much more attractive, but at the same time, more foreign.
But, maybe she was just getting sick.
And what better way to clear up the body than a brisk walk through the woods?
Emerwyn set off at a fair pace, monitering her breathing carefully. She followed the water, until she came to the lake, a place she did not visit often and always wondered why. It really was a lovely place. A perfect place to sit and drink.
She made her way slowly and silently to the water's edge, and knelt down to drink. She vaguely noticed a figure in the corner of her eye, but she was content to take her time.

Billy shifted on his rock, tentacles sliding into the shallow water as he sat up as best he could, still clinging to his half eaten fish. "Ge' ou' o' me lake-" He growled, voice quieter than usual from his painkillers. The world span and he clenched his eyes closed, waiting for it to catch up with him while he sat. Someone was there, invading his territory, and the octopus didn't like it.
