Within the three seconds that it took for his eyes to adjust, he had a life changing experience. For the first time in his life, so far, he was absolutely speechless. Somehow this man that he had not met in this life had filled him with a primal and inexplicable fear, his heart stuck in his throat and choked him for a moment. Dunnaman stood there with fear in his widening eyes, if he were a more flighty fellow he would have dropped his arms and ran.
Every fiber in his being pulled at him, tearing him away from this situation. Something about this man drove Dunnaman's mind to only one solution, flee. Terror and primal urgest wiped almost all thought from his mind, but for some reason, he didn't run. For some reason, another emotion flooded him shortly after the fear. Another emotion that was more compelling and driving, something that normal emotionally adjusted people would ignore.
But Dunnaman isn't a normally adjusted individual.
What emotion, you might ask? Confused recognition. Dunnaman had managed to put two and two together, and realized that this man was someone he recognized. Even though he didn't know why or how he knew someone he had never laid eyes on before. This man was familiar in an almost dream-like sort of way. A person you've never met but have always known.
It took him a moment to speak, terror sweats beading down his face, as he managed to spew a few words. "Ah'm Dunnaman. Dunna who ah'm but ah've buhn trahvlahn fer a short tahm. Ahnly a couple weeks aht most." After he had managed to open his mouth to speak, he was able to bring himself to actually explain himself.
His accept peeped through particularly thick right about here, and he would have felt embarassed if he didn't have other more confusing emotions on the brain. "Ah had a rahn in weht thas harr scout shep. Thah ahttacked meh and ah retahlahyated. Had ter dahfend mahself, ya'nah? Sahry ehf they whar yah pahls."
