Krycek is outside, propped up against a tree with folded arms.

From behind his sunglasses, green eyes dart this way and that and survey the area as though they're in search of something.

Every so often, they fall still and focus on the forest.

... and eventually, they stop moving altogether.

He looks like he's in a trance.

Snap him out of it?

Shadow is exploring. He has been a little way into the forest, wandering and taking everything in, and thinking.

He is just walking out of the forest when he spots someone he recognises. It's Krycek, but as Shadow walks up to the side of him, he realises that Krycek hasn't seen him. In fact, Krycek looks unnaturally still.

'Um.' He says, uncertainly. 'Hello?'

Krycek starts visibly, but collects himself within seconds.

"Shadow," he says in acknowledgement, nodding and pretending as though nothing had happened.

"What brings you out here?"

Shadow discretely decides not to say anything about it.

'Not too much, I've just been exploring.' He gestures back at the trees behind him. 'What were you looking at?'

"You were in there," Krycek says, avoiding the question and glancing at Shadow from over the rims of his glasses. "Be careful when you're near the forest.

That's not a place you want to get lost in."
