There was still a bit of food left over in his pack, which while meant for reserves Ethan figured they could eat it, restock at the next town perhaps. It would be difficult to split what was left four ways but they'd make it work; some food in their belly was better than nothing, especially if they would be traveling again. Smiling at Amuné once she had finally woken up he gave her a small wave, watching Wyth stretch out as well with a small chuckle. "Morning you two! Hope you slept okay, sorry the ground was kind of rough," Ethan said, again raising his arms above his head to pop a kink in his back. Hearing an unusual sound off to the side he glanced over curiously to Cecil, eyebrows raising in surprise at watching him remove part of his leg casually and begin oiling it. So he really was a Machina, or at least part machine... Huh.

"I guess that's one less mouth to feed though, which is handy..." he mumbled, smiling as he leaned over and grabbed up his bag. There wasn't terribly much inside of there, just a few strips of dried beef and a small pouch of grains, but it was better than going hungry. Taking out the beef he moved over to where Amuné and Wyth were stood, kneeling down and handing them each two strips, saving one for himself. "After we eat we'll get moving again, so go ahead and chow down you two!" Popping his own slice into his mouth, Ethan then went over to Cecil and watched him curiously for a moment, earnestly intrigued that the other boy was actually Machina. It wasn't really his place to ask, but he had so many questions for Cecil right about now; Ethan had [i]very[/i] limited knowledge of machines anyways, not exactly having an abundance anywhere this far out west. Though technology had been booming it hadn't quite gotten out here yet, and only small instruments and the like were even seen around. 

"That's so cool... It must be hard though, keeping that clean..." Did dirt get stuck in it a lot? Could Cecil rust? What about the weather, did any of that bother him at all? Again there were at least a dozen questions, yet he'd keep them to himself as he didn't want to come across as nosy and rude. Back on the topic of their getting moving again he figured it was a decent idea to plot their course, have some idea of where they were heading before they started off again. Waving over Amuné and Wyth he removed his map from his pouch, laying it out on the ground before himself and using some small rocks to hold it in place.

"So this is the village we were just in, I think. Or maybe it was the one I was in a few days ago..." Ethan began, pointing to a small highlight on the near-Western edge of the map, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm heading east towards the cities. And east is... Well..." Looking up from the sheet of paper he smiled sheepishly, looking every which way before letting out a small chuckle, turning his focus back to the map. "Right... And if we were here yesterday..." he added, pointing to the town before moving it to an adjacent one, "Or were we here...? I guess it could be the one north of there too..."
