South of the border

[Erichthonios knew his presence was... unneeded in town. Most people knew how to move around, meanwhile the young man still struggled to learn how to properly walk in the snow and, after the first few days, his food supplies were starting to get dangerously low. Yes, he managed to scavenge and stash something in the outskirt house he claimed for himself, but it was time to do something more. Time to try to be part of the local community, hopefully someone could teach him how to survive.

This is why he decides to pack things up when he realizes someone wants to explore the area. Whoever they are, they may have more knowledge than he does about the surroundings and how to live in the place. A clean notebook is stashed with a pencil in a frilly pink dufflebag he found near one of the bodies, it was the largest one and he shall not complain, this with a pair of spare mittens and a few of the edible things he scavenged.

He may or may not be a bit late when he finally shows up at the Community Hall, it's hard to tell hours apart when you don't have a clock to guide you.

Uh... hello? Has the exploration team already left?
