Emilie seemed even more all over the place then Ian was, the girl looking up at him all innocent and excited when she asked if she could touch his hair. "Uhmm, sure?" Ian spoke with a smile before moving his hand to pull out the rubber band that kept the long strands close together, allowing his long hair to drape over his shoulders as he placed the band around his wrist. Tilting his head slightly to the side to lower himself enough to ease the access to his hair for Emilie, Ian flashed her a goofy grin. "Go nuts!" The boy said with a chuckle before looking back to the stranger when Kotori began to speak. Staying in the woods at night from the start had never seemed to have been appealing to the brunette. Thinking things over, Ian decided that over thinking things and worrying about the possibility that someone was watching was not going to do anything other then to rile everyone into a panic. 

     "Perhaps so, Kotori. I think we should just focus on getting out of the forest for now..." Ian let his voice trail out a bit as his gaze went towards the trees, a thought forming in his mind, only to get interrupted as the stranger spoke once more. Remember? The boy blinked his eyes a few times, a poker face clearly did not seem like the brunettes strong point. Now that he thought about it even more, not even just a little memory was there. Almost like if someone had torn out the first few pages of an already written diary to make sure that it was obvious that they were missing. Parting his lips slightly, Ian settled with starting his answer with just shaking his head.

     "The only thing I remember is my name..." Ian began as he collected the words. "First thing was just the blue sky, second thing that sank in was the pain, almost like I had been hit by a truck. And lastly? I stood up with the intention of finding my way home, only to realize I had no idea where that could possibly be. Though since you are asking that question, I am going to go on my hunch here and say that you don't remember anything ether?" It was clear, even though his last sentence hadn't really been a question, that the brunette was hoping that the stranger would tell him if he was wrong or not with his assumption. Looking at Emilie, Ian found himself raising his hand on top of her head, giving it a light pat on the head, whether she was playing with his hair or not. Were Emilie and Kotori on the same boat as well?

     The sound of rattling leaves in the not so far distance got the boy to tense up, bringing Emilie almost protectively to his chest as his as his gaze went to the sound. Slowly, almost reluctantly, Ian let go of Emilie, giving her one more pat on the head before taking a few steps to the sound. "Uhm..." Ian began, wanting to protect his new 'friends' from any possibly harm. "I'll be back... Just stay here." With a rather awkward grin and a wave before he started to run towards where he had heard the sound. Though, perhaps running towards something possibly predatory in a hospital gown was not going to seem intimidating at all... It was then when it hit him, just what was he going to do if the thing he was closing in on actually was the predatory type? Shaking his head, Ian was going to need to think about that once the situation presented itself, for now? What mattered was that Kotori, Emilie and the new guy he hadn't gotten he name of were safe.
