[b]"Uh."[/b] Rickie raised an eyebrow. Thank god, this particular person didn't really care how [i]bad[/i] had been his first impression. Of course he wasn't a sandwich. Looking right and left. Then to the woods. Then to his feet. Then to Kirrian.

[b]"Okay, I'm not hallucinating. Probably."[/b]

He took a deep breath, and then pinched his nose. [i]Where the hell are we? Obviously the sttutering newcomer has no idea either.[/i]

[b]"Oh, sorry, I uh... was doing some research."[/b] He paused. [b]"On sandwiches?"[/b] He shook his head. [b]"Whatever, it isn't important."[/b]

He then looked at the young man in the face, and extended a hand, steeling himself. [b]"I'm Rickie, nice meeting you Kirrian."[/b] He said, while looking at his surroundings. [b]"I don't know about you, but you seem we could use a way out of this forest. I saw smoke before of us, we might want to try following that."[/b] Rickie said, awkwardly skipping small talk while deciding he would try and see if they could travel together. Four eyes saw more than two. And speaking of which, why was he seeing well despite not wearing his glasses? He decided not to give much attention to it now, but that had to be investigated later on.
