Zelgadis had had to stop and give himself something other than more people to look at. That was why he was there, back against the wall of the insurance building and head tilted up just enough to give himself a view higher than the bodies bustling this way and that around him. At that angle, all he could do was assume gawking, not actually confirm it.
He didn't register the sounds of runaway fruit or any light impact they may've had bumping into his shoe, but he was very quickly aware of the space taken up by a body drawing close at a pace much less self-absorbed and hurried than the others making their ways. It became a double-take, his fast glance to his side partnered with a jolt back to reality bringing his whole head back down to turn and stare back at the girl staring at him. It was immediately an alarming and uncomfortable moment, given the many conclusions he could draw from all that.
Quickly eager to not be the center of focus, Zelgadis whipped his head the other way, looking for something that was perhaps the real focus

What? Chane's face fell for a moment, and she took a quick peek back at her notepad, before flipping the page over once more. Now would be the time to look away, in mild embarrassment, which is what Chane does. However, she remained as dignified as possible in posture and countenance.
Oh. Was that all? Zelgadis was actually surprised by how mundane the inquiry was. Considering how that was more or less the norm, despite his condition, one would think he'd get over himself a little, but...
"Oh. It's..." He tilted his head up and away, squinting. "Not too far away. Not really. If you go..."
His voice trailed off a moment, staring down the street, trying to count off in his head. Wait. Was that one glass building four or five stops away, or...? Dammit. He didn't bring his map with him.
He glanced back over at the girl, blinking, quickly growing uneasy, sheepish. The hand he'd brought up to trace his invisible map lowered, retreating to the back of his neck.
"I...don't know how far down you have to go by heart," he admitted. "But I'll know it when I see it. I can show you."

Zelgadis took another glance down at the paper. 'OMAC'?
