Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chubbs looked at his book, and checked the page number before closing it. Like he would remember it anyway, female company basically stomped on his memory. He shuffled his seat forward and couldn't help but notice that she was different. Her hands and feet were anyway, he remembered her feet, made him blush thinking it was other reasons he had remembered. She certainly had changed, and Chubbs guessed she had been using his hoodie to cover up, like she was now.

He didn't want to make her uncomfortable, she probably felt that anyway. He decided for now to obscure the fact he noticed the subtle differences. Picking up his fork in his bandaged hand, he picked at his cake.

" It's.. it's ah fine, I don't mind... I umm, feel almost flatered"

Chubbs tried to hide his face a bit, as he nibbled his cake and went red in the cheeks.

" Be, besides... you need it to... well.. keep warm"

Chubbs blinked up at Amaya, he was a little surprised she jumped up like that. He tried to reach over nervously, not of how her hand looked, just that he was shy, and take her hand. He tried to bring her back down to her seat, it'd been a little while since he'd hurt it, he felt it wasn't something to be so worried about.

" It's, o- okay, really umm.. I ah.. just hurt it.. is all"

He tried to comfort her with a couple of pats on her hand

" Please.. umm, ya salad's gonna evolve.. if ya don't eat it"

He slipped his hand to rest on his book, and switched to eating with his left

Chubbs looked up at her with a smile, only to be confronted by the new changes to her face. She had changed, it was noticable now. He sighed lightly, still mad at the staff here for what they had done, but he smiled anyway, at least for Amaya.

" No.. no really, I ah, well I spoke to em on the intercom thing... and well..I asked bout well .. well what I was gonna be.. and.. umm.. what you were gonna be"

Chubbs blushed a bit again, and hoped she wasn't mad at him for butting in.

" I well umm .. I thought ya might want to know.. form me or something.. , I got mine.. then the smeghead said ya were a hamster... I kinda got mad at him for that. And well other things... ya know .. what they are doing.. so I swore at him."

Chubbs rubbed the bandanges on his hand as he recalled the event that happened. Then he blinked and looked up.

" Well umm... it's well ya know... obvious ya not a hamster...and he was being a jerk. I - I didn't mean to.. sticky beak or anything.. I just wanted to help.. ya out. I ... I well put my fist through the intercom"

Chubbs lowered his head, trying to hide his face, feeling a little embaressed

Chubbs brightened in redness, almost wishing he was a turtle to tuck his head away, he instead pulled his hat lower over his face.

" Aww, it's nothin.. really...just.. well want to help, where i ah .. can"

He took a chunk of his cake and chewed on it. Had to admit this place had some decent food available. He peeked up a bit under his brim and smiled shyly in return.

" Wait.. let me guess... you got the beautiful mermaid serum... oh um wait... no... the...ravishing raptor serum.... oh.. no!.. better.. the sexy snake one?"

He smiled a little, hoping it'd make her laugh

Chubbs grinned a little cheekily. It felt a little better that someone else was blushing besides him, and it looked nice with her green. He finished his cake with a light hearted chuckle, picking the crumbs up with a finger.

" I ah... well the look on your face just now. Heh, I wouldn't mind it framed"

He smiled again, lifting his hat some more, " coming out of his shell" so to speak.

Chubbs looked her over, then leaned a little bit to his side. He wanted to see the tail for himself, but he decided against it, and sat back. He figured a girl hates you staring at her backside, why would it be any different to a tail? Chubbs watched her play with her salad, looking as though other things were on her mind. He leaned on the table some, looking to her.

" Not umm, hungry.. or for salad... or umm.. is something up?"

Chubbs tried to keep a brave face in it all, but he was worried about her, he didn't want it to show, he wanted to keep her happy. He reached over shyly and patted her hand.

" I can't .. well begin to ah.. understand what it's like. I will soon I guess, and well.. umm maybe then I will. Just well..."

Chubbs sighed, not from sadness, he was just trying to find something to help, to make her feel a bit better.

" You just.. well you use me... well what I - I mean is ya just think, that' no matter.. umm how I look... Chubbs looks worse"

He tried for a smile, a little one. In the back of his mind he new he'd be horrible and she at least might look okay still.

" If ya hungry.. I umm... I could make a batch of umm Chubby chilli?"

Chubbs blushed lightly as he took her hand in his injured one and patted it with the other. She seemed to like the contact last time they spoke, he thought it might help some and stop her shaking. His own though were another matter. He nodded at her, then looked at her salad. It was a pitty she couldn't get to taste his chilli, he liked cooking, specially for others. He thought he might have to adapt and think of something for her to eat, He could get some ideas from cook books.

Thinking about how she changed to a herbivore made him think of the animals he would become. The were pretty big meat eaters, could it be he would crave meat as well?

" I - I ah recon i'll be eatin alotta meat myself probably... but .. umm.. hopefully i'll still like cake"
