After his own conversations on the phone he'd found mysteriously in the only door that would open, Shinji had decided he had enough information to get a better grasp on this place he'd found himself trapped in. Back home, every night for an hour, another world bled into his reality and he was one of the few who knew about it. This sort of thing wasn't nearly as strange as it would be to a normal person

Ethan was startled by the appearance of an intimidating, ax-toting fellow, and at first he had half a mind to pretend he didn't hear the man and keep going. The things those people had told him over the phone were still fresh on his mind, even if he didn't think he believed them - this guy could be the cannibal that girl was talking about, for all Ethan knew. (Actually, to Ethan, he looked more like one of those wacky kids from a Japanese convention than a psychotic killer. But even so... that ax probably wasn't paper-mâché.)

He really wasn't in any place to refuse help, though, be it from cannibals or aliens or whatever-the-hell-else was supposedly in this town. His body was already threatening to succumb to exhaustion as it was; he wouldn't be able to wander around aimlessly for much longer.

"I'm looking for someone named Wesker," Ethan told the stranger, slowing to a stop. Maybe a moment's rest would give him the strength he needed to keep going. "The doctor. Do you know him?"

Wesker wasn't a name he'd heard from these people, but then again, he'd only asked about who he should watch out for. He wasn't sure how trusting he'd be of a doctor in a place like this, but looking this guy over again, it didn't look like he had much of a choice at this point.

If Mitsuru was around, she could just heal the guy, but she wasn't, and Shinji didn't play into that whole medic roll. He looked down the road, then back the way he'd come. If what people had said about this place was true, though, this guy wouldn't last ten minutes on his own in his present condition. If there was a doctor around here, it was probably best to get him to it.

He shook his head. "Never heard of him. This place don't look too big, though, and if there's a hospital, it's gotta be on Main Street. Can you make it on your own?"

Ethan had to stop himself from immediately reassuring the guy that, yes, he would be fine on his own. The obvious truth was that he wouldn't, and that he needed help. I won't find Shaun if I'm dead, he reminded himself with an inward sigh.

"Actually, I could use some help finding it, if you don't mind," Ethan relented. Pause. "So... you're new here too, then, huh?" He noticed for the first time that this man was actually a kid. A really, really intimidating kid that couldn't have been a day older than 20. Interesting.
