[ 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

Have a wisp of a boy leaning in towards the screen with a blank expression and pensive eyes.
True this newcomer seems a bit tall to be the one from Banten, but in all fairness Yoite's eyesight had been failing back then, not to mention he'd not given much care to any of the Banten members aside from Miharu so a possible incongruity in the height is not enough to rule out that this is that boy.
Clearly only one way to find out.]

Owl?
He even looks away from the Hitomi and over his shoulder. ]
Did I miss it?

You are one.

Have a friendly, innocent smile, stranger. ]
Do you think so?

[Have a Touya stupid face (TM) as he tries to gather his thoughts enough to actually speak. There's grass in his hair and a smudge of dirt on his cheek, a scrape lightly bleeding near his ear where a stick on the ground decided to attack during his rather clumsy flop.]
YUKI? YUKI! YUUUUUKI!
[Okay, so maybe he isn't going to manage to gather his thoughts enough to speak properly just yet after all. But the video is on anyway, so there you go.]

... but Touya's state is what worries him, just a little. He usually doesn't have grass in his hair. ]
Touya?

It's just how Yukito is.
So, as usual, Touya looks like a giant jackass somehow. He's got the beginnings of a blush as he responds.]
Uh. Yeah. It's me.
[So very eloquent. And of course, Yukito can see him just as well as he can see Yukito (well, presumably, since he's got his glasses) so he knows it's Touya. Brilliant.]
We're a long way from home. I didn't expect to see you, that's all.

And really, this was to be expected at the sight of Touya, after all - it was passing strange to see one without the other. Yet another first to add to the list for this dimension, though they seem to have corrected that mistake.
Only this one…
Pausing in his task of setting drinks on a table, Fai flashes the people seated before him a charming smile and hides the frown. This one isn’t his Sakura’s oracle - which means he’s either another dimensions, or this Sakura’s.
Only one way to find out.
So he smiles a bit more brightly as he steps back over to the bar and leans on the counter, messy blond locks falling to hide his right eye a bit as he nods towards the screen.]
Odd question, I know, but might you be the Oracle of Clow Country, Yukito? Or a different one?

It isn't the first time he's been mistaken for someone else, either. At least this strange, smiling stranger got his name right. But he wonders, somewhat, what that means. ]
I'm just a normal high school student.

[Adding a slight nod to the smile, Fai props his chin lightly on the palm of his hand as he explains lightly, so as to not set the boy too much on guard.]
In my travels with Sakura-hime, I have only ever seen Yukito with Touya. It was passing odd, to see him here without you.
