[typhlotic]

[He sighs heavily as he messes with the device he was given. He's never been very good with these things. Pushing his hands through his hair, he tries to at least get it recording somehow before giving up and just trying.]

Hey. If anyone out there can hear me I'd like some help finding a way to the a forest of some kind. My sense of smell is really thrown here so I haven't been able to figure out which way is up let alone which way is not city.

[He offers a smile but his eyes, though seeming bright, don't seem to ever focus on the screen before he fumbles with things to try to turn if off.]

Crap. What is the off...?

[He ends the recording completely on accident. But it's also what he wants so...great?]

[ This behavior feels familiar. Enough Zichen feels compelled to respond. ]

You are doing well. Those here can hear you, and see you.

If you do not mind sharing your location, just by showing more of your surroundings, I would be happy to come to you and show you where the forests are.

[typhlotic]

[It takes him a second to get the response on but when he can hear it works he lets out a sigh.]

Showing you... Yeah. I can do that. The, um, video is working right?

[It could be audio for all he knows.]

--> Action~

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ That's really all the confirmation he needs. It tugs at his heart and he hums, doing his best to put reassurance into his voice. ]

Yes.

I am not too far away, stay right there.

[ True to his word, Zichen only takes a few minutes (mostly because he leaped onto Fuxue and flew the whole way) before arriving. He doesn't step any louder than usual, he knows how senses can take over when one is lost long enough. ]

I am Song Lan, courtesy name, Zichen.

[ Fuxue settles back into the sheath at his back and he lifts his arms, cupping his hands before him and bows in a gentle rustle of cloth. ]

[typhlotic]

[Oh. That's good at least. Silvio relaxes into listening for when someone approaches him directly then, surprised when the scent that does seems to have come from the sky before walking to him?

Strange...

But he offers a smile since he senses no danger. Though that quickly becomes surprise when he hears the motions of a bow.]

You don't have to bow to me. I'm not anyone important. I'm Silvio. Thanks for the help.

Hi, welcome!

I am familiar with some of the safer wooded areas. I'd be happy to help you get there.

[typhlotic]

[He's at least figured out by feel which one makes a noise that seems to indicate he can talk back. Which pulls a little smile from him.]

It's okay if they're not entirely safe. I can handle myself there. But getting some help to get there would be great.

[inthewood]

As long as you're certain. There are some things you may encounter that are unique to Nippon.

My name's Silver. Henry Silver. I can meet you if you show me where you are.

[typhlotic]

I've been getting that impression...

[He lets out a laugh, his head turning toward a passing native. Because that scent? Definitely not anything he's used to.]

Silvio. Ah...is the video thing on?

[He frowns as he tries to figure out how to tell, somewhat showing where he is in the process as he rotates the device around to see if he can feel anything.]

(( squiiiiiiint ))

I don't mean to pry... Is something the matter with your eyes?

[typhlotic]

[Ah. So he did record and he recorded in what has to be video. He rubs the back of his neck but there's not much use hiding it.]

Just a bit. They don't work anymore. Haven't for about...a hundred years or so.

[floralias]

Would you like help learning how to navigate the device they gave you?

[typhlotic]

[He'd rather not have to use it at all. But he's not so stubborn in his ways to not admit he needs this just in case. Better to find a way to learn it than to be where he is now. Fumbling and hoping he doesn't mess it up.]

Thanks. I'd owe you for the help.

[50000baht]

[Like he has anything to do. ]

How come you're looking for a forest?

[typhlotic]

It's where I'm used to living. Cities and even towns are great for supplies but they're a lot on my senses.

[So...so very much on his senses.]

Living off the grid, I think that's what people call it, is what I'm used to.

[50000baht]

Ah. City living is not for everyone.

Do you generally hermit yourself away from the public, too?

[typhlotic]

[He lets out a soft laugh.]

Yeah. Pretty lonely life but someone's got to do it.

[Video; UN: gentlebreeze]

[gentledawn]

Are you blind, friend? [He sees no reason to dance around the possibility.] I have experience.

[typhlotic]

That obvious huh?

[He knows it is when it comes to things like this. Even he can figure out he somehow used video with a question like that.]

Are you blind too?

[gentledawn]

I am sensitive to that state, you could say.

[Leaving another blind just...doesn't set well. Xingchen will find a solution - just as he did for Yu Mingye's arm.]

I was. I found healing in this land.

[bythewaves]

If none have offered sir, I know the woods around here well enough.

[typhlotic]

I found a guide but I wouldn't say no to one who knows the woods well. I still need to get to know them too.

[bythewaves]

I don't know them so well as some, but I dare say I know them better than others - what are you looking to find?

[vennessa]

I spent a few months moving around the woods here when I first arrived. Why is it that you want to go there?

[If it's just for a look around, then she would have different suggestions than if he actually wanted to try living out there.]

[typhlotic]

So I can live there. Well, camp until I can figure out better housing somehow.

[He isn't sure how he'll manage the housing thing but he'll figure it out. It's not a necessity for him.]

[vennessa]

Hmm. If you're not able to tolerate the weather, it isn't the best time of year to be venturing out unprepared.

[She's not saying that he shouldn't! Just that he should definitely be going out there with the right kind of equipment.]

I know some good places, with easy access to fresh water and good foraging and hunting, though those things might be more difficult at this time of year.
