Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alec. A pleasure." Just how frequently were people brought to the Island?

"Yes, yes that's right. I remember." She'd rather have not remembered that day.

It felt awkward still. The two of them had obviously had some aquaintence with each other. And Emerwyn had an eerie feeling in the back of her head that there was something else she had to be doing.

... ... ... Nothing.

She made herself comfortable then, leaning idly back against a tree, eyeing the foliage hungerly.

Rex furred his brow, unseen to the others through the night's curtain, as Alec also seemed to slip into a state of unease. He didn't let it bother him though, he should expect to get some odd remarks and emotions now that his transformations were blatantly obvious and inescapable. That was just one of the let downs about the island, though he still loved being a lion. "I've been truckin' along as usual. I went out for a walk and things got dark earlier than I was planning." Rex chuckled, he must seem like an idiot as he was only assuming the dark surrounding them actually exisited.

Rex felt awkward standing there in the clearing alone. Though instead of finding a tree of his own, the man simply flopped in the leaves and spread his legs out in front of him, peering at the distant moon through the tall canopy.

Alec nodded, watching everyone relax against any available object nearby made him want to lean against the tree he'd been sitting under for so long. "Hidin 'ere," He smirked before continuing his sentence. "maybeh a'll miss gettin' hooked by th'crazy bah-sted who ganked th'girleh." He chuckled a bit, not realizing he was making jest of a serious situation as usual.

He glanced to Emerwyn distractedly. "Lookin' f'somethin?"

Emerwyn nodded slowly. She really wanted to understand just what had happened, if only to protect herself, but it was far too unnerving to think about in these surroundings. For all she knew, the lion-man's instincts could have gotten the better of him, and he was the attacker.

Instead, she attempted to answer Alec's question.
"...Yes. I came here this morning. And, I knew. I knew what I was looking for. But, then the sun started to go down... and I forgot."
A feeling crept up Emerwyn's neck. She avoided looking at Rex.
"Something in me has made me forget."

Rex came to his feet, alert. He twitched side to side, adjusting his hearing to pinpoint the sound. The rustling slowly got louder and louder, the wrank smell getting a bit more intense. "I... smell something." He wasn't sure what to think and felt like he should always be on guard for the safety of himself and other. His claws flicked open and Rex got close to the ground, prowling around just past Emerwyn... "There's something back there..."

Alec pressed his back into the tree, feeling the bark dig through the thin layer of fabric that was his shirt. "Wha' th'fook ye doin..." He snorted, having never experienced anyone ever acting like such an... animal.

The fact that his actions were clearly upsetting Emerwyn didn't help to settle his nerves.

"Somethin'? Wha somethin?" He looked around, eyes wide in growing panic.

But before Emerwyn could even hear Rex's words of reassurance, she let out a startled sound, hardly a yell, and bolted.
Not before tripping over a large root and falling flat on her face.

Quickly, her large, strong legs lifted her up, and she was gone, fleeing blindly into the dark night...

"Yeah... okay..." Rex whispered under his breath as Alec slipped back towards the village. "I'll catch you around." He was embarassed at his actions and spoke slowly. He'd only meant to protect them, instead he ended up scaring both of them off... this just wasn't his day.

Rex mumbled under his breath and drudged back to the duplexes in silence.
