A quirked eyebrow and a tilted head greeted Jana as she whirled herself around to face the newcomer. The man seemed well-traveled, judging not only by the dirt smudged on his garments and face, but also the drawstring sack that was slung lazily over his shoulder. Despite being a little roughed up and somewhat unclean from his trek, his bright cinnamon eyes sparkled with life and actively betrayed his outwardly grungy appearance. Even from a glance, a childlike curiosity practically radiated from his demeanor-- probably a direct result from overhearing a particularly interesting conversation.
"Ah..." The man began, a small hum escaping him as he gauged the atmosphere for a brief moment. He quietly noted her fluster of emotions, particularly the clear fatigue in her tone. What little pause he might have had melted away in an instant when he was addressed, and a bright grin crept into the corners of his mouth. "Thank you very much! I only just arrived-- and not a moment too soon, I was running a little low on supplies!" He lifted the bag in his hand as though presenting a prize, then gave it a little limp shake. It pathetically dangled as though it had nothing in it at all. His boisterous smile and energetic presence almost made him seem... proud of an empty bag. Odd.
With that he slung the bag haphazardly back over his shoulder and turned his attention back to the two before him. "I'll probably have to stay for a few days at least, y'know, to stock up again. So yeah, passing through, but not immediately leaving!"
With that declaration out of the way, he took a few confident steps forward and thrust his free hand in Jana's direction. "Name's Shozu, by the way. I take it you're Jana." His eyes flickered between her and the boy, and his expression seemed to develop just a tinge of shame, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it was just, uh... A little bit loud."
