[h3]Outdoor Amphitheatre[/h3]

~ [i]Setting the Stage[/i] ~[/center]

Arm against the bench, waiting for the situation to defuse past its volatile state, Shirou glanced to his right, noting Maiya taking her own seat. Good. Perhaps it was a but of an assumption, but he was thankful that even in her shy manner she could understand that it was best to appear as friendly as possible, especially given the circumstances. This wasn't the time for messing about; they had things to talk about, questions to posit and answers to acquire.

[colour=Red]"It's nice to meet you, Nao."[/colour] he said simply, looking back over towards the girl and smiling, [colour=Red]"As for what we know, well... I know that this is an Amphitheatre, for starters."[/colour] he looked around, before looking in the direction of the lake, [colour=Red]"And over there is some kind of dock. So, if I had to make a guess on where we are... I'd say it was some kind of camp grounds."[/colour]

As he finished his sentence, the monitors nearby lit up with their message. It was a voice he had never heard before, referring to things he wasn't sure upon. How they would escape, and what was going on. They were all things they needed to know, needed to hear, but the tone with which the man on the other end of that monitor spoke with unsettled something within him. This wasn't going to be a pleasant meeting, that much he could tell.

[colour=Red]"I suppose that answers that. "Campers" - this is definitely a camp ground."[/colour] he said as he looked at Naomi, then back towards Maiya, his smile lessened by a small degree, though barely noticeably, [colour=Red]"And yeah, I'd say you're right, Yukimori.[/colour] his eyes trained on the now dim monitor, eyeing it somewhat cautiously, [colour=Red]"More people will be coming our way. But.. kidnapped or imprisoned is probably a little bit far."[/colour] of course it wasn't, but they couldn't be allowed to know that.

Once again, he gestured to Naomi, requesting her to sit down.
[colour=Red]"You might as well take a seat, Nao. The people coming will be much the same as ourselves, so we can ask them about all this."[/colour] he wasn't confident on that, but his voice didn't betray it; keeping himself seemingly confident was the best measure to ensure Nao didn't flee at the idea of more people coming, [colour=Red]"But, if I can start, I know what I was doing before waking up here. I was on my way to Hopes Peak. Do either of you..."[/colour] he turned his gaze from Naomi back to Maiya, [colour=Red]"Remember anything similar? What you were doing, where you were, how you might have ended up here? Anything would be useful."[/colour]
