Actually, the place was not fun for Stephen. He always knew he would be a Find for the Gays and their urge to convert innocent straight people. This island clearly proved it.

However, all he said was, "Thank you, I am." Then, because it looked like the gay happenings of this encounter were ending, and because Stephen was still pretty damn intoxicated, he thought he could give a good distraction. To Asher, not himself. He sure didn't need a distraction from anything, and definitely not from the way Asher was right there on him.

"Look," he said, a little crazed. He folded over the tip of his right ear, pushed it inside. Then he held up one finger as if to say Wait! There's more!, and winked. Out popped the ear, back to normal.
