"Exactly!" Nita said, perhaps a little too loudly. Rex understood. Why couldn't certain others?
She grinned, amused at making the lion-man blush. "But it's true!" she insisted. After a moment, however, she stopped, not wanting to take the teasing too far.
"Aww, are you on your way back to the village?" Nita stood up in the thigh-deep water and worked on wringing out her hair.

"Well all that I know is that I'm not all that 'good-looking' with these." He fluttered his claws through the air and smiled toothily, his fangs overpronounced. "But you, little missy, are the one with a girlfriend. I'm the one left lady-less." He chuckled.
Then responded with a "Not exactly..." and promptly flopped in a grassy patch not far from the river's edge. The solid ground was sure different from the free water.

Nita stood, hands on her hips, in a mock-lecturing mode. "Hey now, I've been informed that fur is sexy, and you've got more of it than I do." She snickered and brushed off most of the water from her arms and legs.
"As comfortable as that looks, I think I'll head back to civilization," Nita snickered. "Turn the AC way up for a bit."

Rex chuckled in the grass, slightly in denial that the changes were attractive. "If hair... err.. fur.. is so hot, then why do so many guys shave their chests now a days?" It was weak support, but support for his side of the debate none the less.
He pressed his chin into his chest to watch Nita emerge from the river. He patted his belly temptingly and said, "Well you won't leave me without a hug, now will you?" He sat up, legs extended in front of him, "Git over here, you!" He opened his arms wide and reached playfully towards the red head.

"I dunno," Nita quipped. "I'm not terribly interested in guys' chests!"
The red panda-girl squeezed a bit more water out of her hair. "Oh alright, I think I can manage a hug." She padded over and knelt down in the soft grass. Nita poked Rex in the belly. "But you're gonna have to sit up more than that."

"Fine, make me work for a little love." He clambered to his feet upon being poked in the abs and embraced the girl in a hug. "Have fun in your cool room, I'm going to head to the gym... it's like I've been living there more than my duplex." Rex chuckled quietly and let Nita out of his grip.

Nita pulled a face at Rex, but gave him a willing hug. Once released, she gathered up her clothes, tugging on her t-shirt and not bothering with the jeans. They'd just get over her bathingsuit anyway, and the shirt would dry faster.
"Oh I will, and you too. Stop by whenever, I'm usually around."

"Good stuff, I'll catch you around the village then, girl. Adios!" He pawed off through the jungle to the village, tempted to use his arms to run along, but resisted the urge. Darn it, you lion.

"See ya!" she called after him. With her jeans folded under one arm, Nita took a more circuitous route back to the village, walking along the riverbank and occasionally cooling her bare feet in the water again.

NEW RP
After his chat with Ambrose, Alec figured the wolf-man would have everything under control having to do with gathering together some sports enthusiasts on the island. The teen didn't think to offer any more help, assuming he'd be of any use at all in the first place. Instead, the punk teen decided he'd take it easy for awhile and maybe go for a swim at the lake to cool off from the muggy heat of the jungle.
As he approached the edge of the body of water, he slipped off his shirt and tossed it aside while taking a good look around. Last time he'd been there he'd met a very skittish Emelyn, hopefully this time he wouldn't run into anyone at all. He just didn't feel up to it.
The teen sat down and slid his legs into the water as he'd done before, getting accustomed to the temperature before taking the plunge.

Shortly after Alec's dip into the pool Awen came down the path. Everything hurt. She had rested in her duplex for the majority of the day, sitting in her tank trying to ease her pain. The incesent filter and the ceiling was begining to annoy her though. She'd been seeing the same thing for the passed week and especially after the change she felt restless.
When she first had tried to put her foot on solid ground it was a definate mistake. Her fin-feet were still too fragile to walk on. She finally figured that she could walk on the heel of her foot without too much pain and left her duplex soon after.
Seeing the lake she smiled. The manta was definately looking forward to not just sitting in the water but being able to move around and glide gracefully around. If her new webbing-wings would allow it anyway. They may end up jsut floating near the bottom and watching the fish....
Just as she got close ehough to the lake her foot got entangled on something unexpected on the ground. She shrieked as even the soft material of Alec's shirt stung her thin toes and fin. Everything jsut got worse as Awen tumbled to the ground, and landed only inches from the waters edge. The air was forced from her lungs at once and she coughed. She gasped for air and by all means she looked like a beached sea creature...

Alec had just finished dunking his head underwater to wet his skin when he heard a loud shriek. As high pitched as it was, the sound echoed feircely around the quiet lake to startle him and cause him to snap his head around to look. What he saw confused him at first, his eyesight seemed to fail him at pinpointing just what that sprawled out, bluish mass was near the shore even though he wasn't that far out.
It was impossible it was an animal, it had to have been an islander. "Ah... 'ey y'ekay there?" He called out hesitantly but with concern, wading over until he was within feet.

Awen looked up quickly when she was spoken to. She coughed and tried to push herself up, but her lungs didn't quite want to kick in properly. She had always hated the feeling of not being able to breathe. Even though it usually happened in summer when they were playing baseball or something or playing out in the yard and falling or a game of tag gone wrong, it always reminded her of the suffocating feeling that water brings.
She shook her head a little but and grabbed the dirt of the lake bank and dragged herself foreward. It was almost ironic now that she was afraid of not breathing because of water, and now she clawed her way towards it to help her breathe again.
It took a moment for two but she pushed herself into the water, just enough to get her head under water. It helped her a little to get breathing again and only a second later she pushed herself forward again, harder, to push herself into the deeper water.
She plunged down, the water feeling good, but also her body aching. She spun around and pushed her way back to the surface with incredible ease. She coughed a little as she floated a little ways away from Alec. "Sorry.... got the wind knocked out of me..is all..."
She pushed some of her knotted blue hair behind her ear as she gave him an awkward smile. This boy was hard to forget. The one who almost wrecked the cords in the entertainment room. Alex...no no... Alec. He seemed a little different, but generally he was still recognisable.

It was hard to mask the relief on his face as he watched her make her way into the water. Alec wasn't always concerned about himself or others, but his carefree attitude always became displaced with worry whenever good people got hurt. Although he wouldn't guess that was a likely solution to her problem, he figured it somehow made her feel better so it was good. "Heh, thas good. A' was g'neh try n' lift ye n' that woul've probehleh turned ou' realleh bad." He laughed lightly and treaded water.
He still couldn't put a finger on who she was, the fact that he was usually good with names infuriated him. Her eyes seemed very familiar. "Ye ekay now?"

"Lots better." She nodded. "Didn't mean to give you a scare...." She shied away a little bit. "I must look pretty hideous...."
In fact Awen hadn't even gone to look at herself in the mirror before she left. She hadn't wanted to see herself, convinced she must look freakish, even by island standards.
