Ian held lightly onto Emerwyn's arm, just in case she wasn't quite steady on her feet. "Just to the village," he said reassuringly. "The cliffs aren't the best place for you to be right now."
Ian continued holding her arm as he pondered this. Emerwyn had seemed fine when he had talked to her the other day, but illnesses did spring up overnight that he knew. "Maybe you need to go rest in your duplex," he wanted to be helpful, and to make her less nervous, but as socially inept as he was, Ian was sure he was failing miserably at being comforting.

Now they were both trying to coax her into going to the village with them... She knew they were trying to help, but she couldn't help feeling ganged up on.
She fought the urge to just run into the trees... she probably wouldn't have made it ten feet. It was so much easier to be sick like this back at home... But then again, back at home it never got this bad...
She sighed in resignation. "Alright. Let's go."
We're just going to the village. That's as far as they're going to take me...

Ian obviously had more of a friendship with Emerwyn than her own five-minute acquaintance with the woman, so Emelyn didn't offer her arm as well. Instead, she guided the way, as night had started to break, and her own night vision was already starting to improve. She also wanted to stay a few steps ahead, just so she could prove a buffer, should the other two slip and fall. ...Although with his new accoutrements, she thought, Ian would be unlikely to do so.

Ian began walking making sure he was there to support Emerwyn if she were to fall or collapse. He followed Emelyn, unsure of how well he remembered the way back on his own. Stepping carefully to avoid any ruts or dips he couldn't seewhile watching Emelyn, he kept a slow but steady pace towards the village and Emerwyn's duplex.
He felt really bad for lying to Emerwyn. Yes they were going to the village, but Ian felt that she really needed to see a doctor more than anything else, that cough was really nasty.

"Thanks," she accepted Ian's help.
She walked at a steady pace, probably faster than she should have.
She breathed heavily. Finally finding her voice, she said, "So, Ian, I like your antlers." She smiled.

She kept ahead of Ian and Emer- not wanting to interrupt their conversation. They walked down through the jungle towards the village, and Em was silent, until they came upon the village's edge.
"We're nearly there," Em said, turning back to the two, and eyeing Emer with worry, "are you sure you don't want to go as far as the doctor?"

Ian reached his hand up to his head knobs at Emerwyn mention of antlers. He could feel the heat of a blush creeping up his neck, hoping it wouldn't reach his face. "Uh, thanks." he muttered, "but they may not be antlers...they could just be horns of some sort." He smiled at Emerwyn anyway. "I hope I don't have to end up ducking under doors" He was trying to make a joke, and hoped he was succeeding. Ian heard Emelyn's comment and frowned. He wanted Emerwyn to see a doctor, but he really didn't want to force her to do anythingshe didn't want to do. "Emerwyn?" he asked, the unspoken question evident.

Emerwyn laughed lightly at Ian's comment. She didn't want to choke.
"Well, I like them," she said again.
She was trying so hard to lighten up, but her face darkened again when Emelyn suggested seeing the doctor.
She didn't answer for a while.
Emerwyn knew she was very sick. Rubbing the dried blood off her fingers reminded her of this, as did her rapidly lowering stamina as they drew nearer to the village.
She considered her options: She could try to get better on her own; she'd done it before. But she'd never been this bad before...
She could give in, and go to the Doctor. It's not like he'd do anything bad to her. He wanted her to transform into... whatever it was he had injected into her.
And she had to hold on... if not for herself, but for Jerrick. Emerwyn realized she hadn't thought about him in a while. It was, after all, because of him that she was so sick. That's what she told herself had to be true.
She sighed in final resignation.
"...alright. It doesn't look like I have any other choice."

Em only nodded. Although the words "Good- I'm glad" sat on the tip of her tongue, she swallowed them back, for they weren't things she figured Emerwyn would like to hear. Instead, she gave Ian a look, as if to say 'If you need help with her, I'll offer an arm,' before turning back to Emer.
"I'll... call the doctor," she said, letting the words be as simple as possible. "I'll be right back." She didn't think that these two knew about her connection with Moreau- but if they didn't before, they would now. She ran up the dirt road to the gates of the labs, hoping that one of the doctors would be in- and buzzed at the gate for someone to speak with her.
((I believe this is the time we get Moreau or Aubrey involved. ^_~))

Ian watched as Emely dashed off to the gate and keyed the intercom. "You'll get help soon." he told Emerwyn, feeling worried and hoping she would be alright. "Not too long now. I'm sure someone will be willing to help." He gave her a small smile, reaching over and giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. "If you want I can keep you company." Now why had he said that, he had never volunteered to be in anyones company without prodding before. Mayhaps this island was better for him than he originally thought.

Emerwyn might have been having second thoughts by the time Emelyn raced off to call the doctor, but by then it was too late.
She was really glad for Ian's reassurance. The physical contact, especially. She hadn't had much of that in a while. And his offer to stay with her really meant a lot.
"Thanks."
"If you would stay, at least until he comes... that'd be great. Then, I suppose... I can manage on my own."
In reality, Emerwyn was rather frightened to go on her own, but she wasn't yet sure how she'd react seeing Moreau again, and she didn't want to make any bad impressions.

---New RP---
Amaya let out a sigh, her form hunched over her bent knees as she held the silver pendent normally found around her neck in her palm. She had climbed a few feet up the cliffs and sat on what she thought was a sturdy enough rock before positioning herself so she could relax. Climbing seemed actually pretty easy, her new toes and longer fingers well for gripping tough surfaces.
But she hadn't come out here just to try her hand at climbing, her actual reason was to just... think. After seeing Cassidy she had been slapped in the face with an even harsher reality check. The woman was turning into a snake. Loosing her legs and growing a tail and scales. It just wasn't small patches anymore, it was... fictional, was what it was. Cass barely looked like herself anymore... would that happen to everyone? Including her? So far Amaya seemed to be the only other one turning into a reptile so... would she grow an even longer tail (she hadn't even been able to stomach looking at the stub) and more scales and would her nose vanish alltogether?
It was a scary thought. Not looking like you did when you were born. The features passed on by your parents melting away before your very eyes. If she didn't look like herself then... she didn't look like mom and dad. The raven hair she inherited from her mother might fall out or her eyes might change colour from the bright green she had gotten from her father.
Amaya's eyes narrowed as she looked at the picture of her parents and grandmother. This... this was bad...

Hargun decided today to explore more of the island. She figured since exploring previously lead her to a new place on the island, that doing the same today would be exciting. Besides... what else was there to do?
Apon venturing around enough, she came apon the cliffs, and whistled, staring up towards them. Woah.. what all does Moreau have on this island? she thought to herself and began to make her climb. She tripped awkwardly and dropped her sunglasses. "Oh crap!" she shouted, and attempted to get them with her toes. Hey... Im getting good at this! she thought, and smiled then continued to climb again.
Her ears twitched as she got up a few feet and hesitated. Funny.. thought I heard someone.. or something..

Amaya blinked and looked up. Did she just hear someone's voice? She looked around the cliffs but couldn't see anyone. "Hello?" Her voice called out hesitantly as she looked around for the source of the voice. It could've just been her imagination...

Hargun recognized Amaya's voice from pretty far down and shouted back. "Hey Amaya!"
She climed up more until she was in sight, as not to confuse hr friend and pulled up on the rock and sat down next to hr, brushing off her arms and frontside. Smiling she adjusted her glasses. "So whats up... besides us?"
