Awen shrugged a little bit. "Oh well.. I don't know." She grabbed Chubbs' controller by the cord and pulled it gently towards her. She wraped the controllers up and put them away turning onn the system.
"Hey Chubbs...?" She sat on her knees with her back to him for a moment biting her lip. She didn't know why she wanted to ask but... She turned to face him.
"Why are you on the island anyway...?"

Chubbs looked over at Awen and, he smiled a bit, he just liked how she sat, like a little bundle of cute. He left his arm sitting on the back of the couch while the other reached into the back of his pocket and pulled out a wallet. With a flick of the clip, he opened it and lay it in her hand. The photo of him and the children lay under the plastic window where his license would sit.
" I came here, well.. for them"

Awen smiled softly seeing the picture. It was one of the sweetest things she had ever seen. Judging by all the shapes, sizes, skins, and hair of all the children they must be... orphans maybe? At least a community of kids, none of which looked like Chubbs... She didn't know the full story behind the picture but.... It was so cute.
But soon her smile turned into a frown. She hadn't the wallet back slowly. "I'm so sorry Chubbs..." She said in a tiny voice.

Chubbs took the wallet back and tried to keep a smile. He at least didn't want her feel bad for his sake, he patted Awen on her shoulder.
" Don't be.. I came here... well cuz I thought there was a boxing match... and umm.. well.. they are poor... and in a bad neighbourhood. I - I ah train em.. to box.. and well I don't have alot of gear.. and umm well the gyms a really old building. With the money I woulda got... well I could get them a new one"
Chubbs patted the phto and put the wallet away.
" I wouldn't change a thing though... I maybe stuck here, but um... the kids still get their gym.. and I ah.. that's all that matters"
Chubbs smiled softly

"Still I'm sorry Chubbs..." She said softly and just dropped herself onto her bottom, her legs were getting sore in the possition they were in. "That was really selfless of you."
And the big teddy bear returns from the fiery glare of the zone... A smile twitched to Awen's lips. "I really hope the Doctor gives those kids the gym..."

Chubbs smiled more so now, tucking his legs up and leaning on his knees
" I ah.. hope so too"
He gave her a wink and then blinked, realising he hadn't known much about her.
" Oh and umm, how... no umm why did ya come here?"

She faultered a little at the wink. She didn't really know what the wink was for. She was so used to Jamal's winks lately that's the first thing that came to mind. But..nooo.... Chubbs wasn't like that. Best just to..ignore the wink, yes.
"Um...well..." She bowed ehr head a little bit. "Came here for therapy.... to get rid of my ....um hydrophobia..."

Chubbs raised a brow, then tried to think of what that meant. He eventually realised she was afraid of water, he'd never heard of it.
" Can .. I umm ask... like... how do ya shower?"
He suddenly blushed and blinked, realising that could be taken the wrong way.
" I ah.. I just meant umm.. oh I was curious is all"
His cheeks were getting redder

Awen laughed a bit. As much as people knew she was afraid of water no one had ever dared ask that question before. She smiled brightly at how bold this shy man actually was.
"Quickly." She giggled and shook her head. "Very quickly."
She settled into a little more serious face. "There wa a time when I wouldn't. I was that extreme. But eventually..." She broke into a grin again. "A group of my friends had an..er.. intervention I suppose. They were over at my house and jumped me dragging me off and hauled me into the shower, clothes and all!" She laughed but there was a small shudder she tried to conceal. "They held me under the water until I promised I'd at least wash and stuff. Yeah....I was..pretty bad...."

Chubbs smiled a little at her giggle, loving the sound, returning the smile that shone at him. But he then lessened as she told the tale of her intervention. He frowned some, maybe her friends were half the problem.
" I umm... I think i woulda, well.. done the opposite, ya know?.. like umm slowly umm got ya used to it... not like chuck ya into a shoer... but umm that's just me"
Chubbs blushed a bit, realising that the conversation about Awens bathing habits was probably gonna lead the wrong way.

Awen shook her head a little bit. "Well it's not healthy that's all." She smiled. "I do appreciate a friend who wouldn't go against my wishes Chubbs, but I mean... it was becoming a problem, you know?"
She smiled brightly looking up at him. "Thanks for the sentiment though."
Oddly enough Awen thought nothing of talking about her bathing habits. To her it wasn't like it was anything, just a piece of her hydrophobe past, nothing indecent at all really.

Chubbs twisted himself sideways to face Awen and rested his head on the back of the sofa. He was curios about her condition, but he thought he could find about it elsewhere rather than badger her with questions. So instead... he had another question.
" So um... how's things.. um for ya here?"

Awen shifted a little bit. Even if he thought he was doing good by changing the subject it was worse actually. She was used to talking about her hydrophobia but no one even asked her how the island was for her on the island. This she had to think about.
"I can't really complain..." She said finally. "Nice people here.... and despite what people think the Doc has helped a lot of people, even if he is a rude jerk at parties.... " She bit her lip a little bit. "Haven't started to change yet...it's been like a month and a half so.. I dunno I'm doing better than a lot of people appearently..."

Chubbs smiled lightly, she was doing well at least. Awen was right about the people on the island, they were really nice. He raised an eyebrow at the mention of the Doc and a party, and chubbs began to wonder what he missed out on. Regardless, he reached over and patted her hand.
" I.. umm.. for one, well I hope ya never.. ah er change... and I umm.. mean that.. er both ways"

She looked down at her hand and blinked a little bit before smiling. "Thanks Chubbs..." She said softly. "I can't help but say I will change into..something on this island. But I'll always be the same ol' Awen." She smiled brightly up at him.
"Oh hey!" She said quickly just remembering. "You said you hurt your hand on the intercom, did you ask the tech about your animal?"
