[So Ryo's in a bit of trouble-yes, he's been affected by this horrible hallucinogenic gas, and he's definitely not in his right mind.
You'd like it if he were perving on inanimate objects, or dudes, right? But alas, there's little humor in this situation.
He's flashing back to some pretty unsavory moments in his life; he sees jungles and enemies,

Her first thought upon feeling the cold blade pressed against her neck is anger at herself for not sensing the assailant sooner. But it's been a strange 24 hours, and so all she does is stand perfectly still while she tries to figure out what to do. At the very least, she isn't panicking- she's been in this exact situation before.
She speaks directly ahead of herself, making no attempt to turn her head to see who it is.]
Who are you?

You speak English-that's interesting. But I think I'll be asking who you are: Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes? Or a different brand of insurgent?
[Ryo isn't Guatemalan, but he thinks he's there, of course. Thinks he's back in Central America, passing through the Mayan Highlands, taking part in the usual bloodshed. Right now, he sees a man dressed with a gun, without any sign of military insignia...
A friend? Possibly. Maybe...]

Neither.

Anónimo.
You don't have accent, either. Where are you from, and why are you here?
[He presses the knife, but it's not wound-inflicting. There was, in his mind, a small village 100 paces west, and he had to ensure no military stumbled across it. There were good men there, insurgents, that would be killed along with innocent people.]

He sits in nearby brush behind her, eyes narrowed, as silent as death. Waiting. The man (or so she looks, in his mind) appears to be brandishing a military uniform. And at his 'age', he's not quite willing to help out any soldiers for any stupid government. >:P
At any rate, he's waiting and watching, seeing what she plans to do.]

He stood and sidestepped, gun aimed.]
Not bad.

Why are you here?
You shouldn't be here.
[He sees a disheveled woman with a knife in her hands, before him. While he was softer to women, he'd learned not to trust them on the battlefield. He had a nice scar across the ribcage from a bullet, for that mistake.]

...Ryo? What's going on? [She's more tempted to ask why the hell he has a gun aimed at her spine though.]

A mistake in identity, lo siento. Drop the knife.

As quietly as she can, she retrieves a kitchen knife from a drawer.]

Explain what you are doing here, or had better hope you are VERY good with that thing.
And try to answer in not whatever language you just used, because I have no clue what you just said.

I was injured and just needed a few supplies. I'll be gone in a few moments, if you'll let me.
[A pause.]
Where did you learn such fluent English?

D-Don Paolo! I should have known it was you!

My name isn't Don Paolo. Como te-what is your name, kid??
[Seriously, what is with all this perfect English? :T]
