Sniffing and staring didn't do him much good. He was trained as a soldier; he was one of the greatest there ever was. Certainly, he could analyze movements, behavior, any patterns or reason the mysterious figure held. He was only a few yards away. It was his job- his life- to make the right decision in this type of situation. There may as well have been no head on his shoulders, though, for all the help it was giving him. He was alone in a foreign land. He had no idea how he got there, how he might get home, whether he wanted to get home, or what to do now, whether he had a home to go to or not. If that all weren't enough, he was alone. As fine a solider as he might have been, and as easily as he was certain he could overwhelm this potential opponent, he was hesitant. You don't go running into battles alone- especially when you don't know what the enemy is, or even if there is an enemy

((No worries bb! You're fantastic!He should have heard him long before he called out. Instinctively he reached for a weapon that was not there, muttering a curse under his breath, if only he had been more well prepared. Well...honestly that was hardly his fault. He had not expected it to work in the first place. His eyes narrowed then as he weighed possibilities and their outcomes in his mind. The Geass could be useful...but he wanted to see if he could get out of this situation without it. It would be a last resort

He lifted a brow, too seasoned to let down guard or blade with just friendly words. The man spoke differently than he was accustomed to, with an accent he wasn't quite able to place. Wherever he was, he was only reminded it was nowhere near home.
"Where we are?" he repeated thoughtfully, unsure of how to respond. It could be a trap. The stranger could be trying to gauge him- his grasp of reality and his surroundings. Then again, this man could also be just as lost as he was. Lying could be just as much a mistake as telling the truth. "I'm not sure of the coordinates."
His mobile had stopped working sometime when he arrived there, maybe even before. There would be no GPS, no calling for help, and that certainly wouldn't tell them where they were. All the same, his words were perhaps vague enough to let the other believe he had at least an inkling of their location. Honesty had to be shaded if he wanted to stay safe, stay alive for at least a bit longer.

"Which direction did you come from?"
