But before I go and hit the road, I gotta know

[She reaches the town sometime in the late morning, shying away from the main market area that's bustling with people ready to go about their day. She'd meant to pass through the place during the night, when there were less people around, but there's nothing she can do about it now. Maybe she could wait until things have calmed down to get some supplies and slip out before anyone notices her?

Either way, Korra wanders around the town's outskirts until she finds a quiet grove to hang out in for the time being. Her pack gets unceremoniously dumped onto the ground while she leans back against a tree. Its rough bark makes her miss Naga more than ever. She closes her eyes. The grove is quiet, somewhat secluded, making it a nice place for her to just think about her next destination. She's been traveling for months now, and she's no closer to finding the answers she's been looking for. Korra doesn't know how much longer she can do this, and the longer she stays away, the more likely her family's going to find out she's missing.

Korra's eyes snap open when she hears someone stepping into her general vicinity, forcing her to keep her head down. Hopefully they'd just see her as a simple traveler and continue on their way without recognizing her.]

[This...is bad.

It's bad only in the sense of the fact that Ryan knows for a fact this isn't New York but he's not entirely sure where it is. It's not Haven. Ryan already checked and he knows it's not Haven but the area around him is too wide and vast (and forest-y, of course) to be a city. He's been walking through the grove for a good twenty minutes to try and find his way toward civilization and he doesn't have anything with him.

It's not that he thinks the grove is dangerous, definitely not after how long he was in Haven. However he can't help that unsettled, uneasy feeling lurking over him and so he breaks into a light jog through the trees in what he hopes is the right direction.

He doesn't get very far though before he spots a person. He spots a person with somewhat dirty clothes, short hair, and--

--even with her head down, Ryan pauses. He's not even sure if she'll understand him, but she seems like someone he can at least try to ask for help from. That, and there's something oddly familiar that he hasn't quite put a finger on yet.]

Hey...um, sorry, can you tell me how to get back to the city? [If there's a city nearby. Oh god please say there's a city nearby.]
