He nods again, it's the smart plan, and he's glad if the kid's got it, he knows how to use it.

The hesitation makes him glance back over, one eyebrow quirked upwards in expectation of the rest of the sentence–

– which is finished a second later on a pretty disappointing note. Five's nose scrunches a bit and he looks ahead again. "If you think it's aliens, just say you think it's aliens." Sort of a joke, sort of not at all– a subtle nod to the fact that things in the general realm of 'weird' by most of society were not unheard of in his own life.

"...aliens?" He doesn't know that word to mean 'spaceman,' his world hadn't quite hit that point yet.

[forasecond]

"You know, weird little guys from space or whatever- ?"

A beat.

"No?" He shakes his head and waves a dismissive hand, "Nevermind, it's not a big deal. They're probably not even real."

"From space?" He looks up. The only thing he really knows in soace is the moon. It could probably be said that those effected by Rher--the moon god--'s powers were sort of from the moon.

"...yeah. Something like that."

He nods a little and falls into another bout of silence, then. Keeping conversations going is just- hard for someone as antisocial as Five. He sees no point in wasting time with passive, idle chatter.

The wind picks up and Five tugs his jacket closer in an effort to trap in some warmth against the sharp chill of it. There isn't much to note for the first leg of their journey, a few landmarks that he scribbles down in his notebook to keep an eye out for on the way back later.

He doesn't have any set list of things he's specifically looking for, not on this first journey out into the wider area of the town they've found themselves trapped in. This is just a general scouting mission- seeing what there is away from the center of town.

Levi's not very talkative, or good with people. Silence is fine for him, both because he doesn't have to try and say things and because it let him hear if anything was around. He'd seen a few glimpses of rabbits and deer, and birds, but nothing very interesting or worrying. He knew there were predators out here, but it seemed they were safe enough for now. Possibly being stalked by wolves or whatever, so he's not going to relax.

Nothing that seemed really useful or like it'd answer anything. But he did learn he should really find gloves after that get back to town.
