[ video -- 01 ] Week 20, Day 6
[ It's the slow blinking of eyes, bleary from sleep, the gray hair, the sleepy expression that greets any who play this message, but it takes only a moment for those eyes to recognize something isn't quite right. Fingers pat around, searching for something while he squints down at the Hitomi beside him. Those groping fingers find what they're looking for, a pair of glasses, circle frames and all, and set them in place. ]
Oh? [ The tilt of a head, a look of obvious confusion. He's definitely a newcomer. ] When did I get here...?
[ But his eyes don't linger on the Hitomi for long, searching all that lies around him, most obviously the tree he rests besides. The confusion settles a bit, replaced with mild curiosity.
He stands, taking the Hitomi in hand with him. The next moments are spent in quiet, careful exploration, though he find outs quickly enough there's nothing here that needs so much attention. Nothing that he recognizes, no one he knows. Not even a sign to tell him where he is or how to get back on the road he can't remember straying off of.
Throughout it all, he's nothing but calm, a quiet observer, as if he were truly walking through a park he knew well. ]
It's peaceful here. [ He sounds thoughtful, a soft smile on his lips. It doesn't leave even as he lifts the Hitomi to see it again, not flipping it over in his hand, not searching for anything, simply watching it. Whether or not he realizes it is recording is not clear, but he doesn't seem to mind, either way.
His smile becomes friendly, one would expect in a greeting. ] But I think I'm lost.
