The shift of sand near him and the sudden, abrupt sound of a voice causes Kaisel's eyes to fling open with surprise that rivals the other man's. Much like Ever, he'd been certain he'd be alone all the way out here, so the stark disturbance of that is unsettling in every way, not the least of which is how fucking close Ever got to him without him noticing. Kaisel visibly flinches back, hands darting up to block his face while his knees draw up to shield more of him, defense born out of practice, even as the apologies begin to stammer out.
What might have been a yell is purposefully swallowed back, and gradually the startling effect breaks apart into the reality of the situation. Not a threat, just a nearly blind stranger, it'd seem. Kaisel exhales a loud breath, the expenditure of the contained shout, as he reaches around for his bag and pulls out a paper and pen. He scribbles hastily onto it, then turns it around to Ever and hoists it out for him to read. He taps a finger along it, to draw attention, because he notices Ever's gaze is wandering around like spilled marbles.
No worries
He jerks the pad back and jots down a bit more beneath it, turning it around anew.
Meditating, wanna join?
