[Barabas stumbles out of a particularly thick patch of brush with a grumble of frustration. Okay. So he probably could have picked a better path. But he's distracted and thrown off, and honestly he looks like he's a man who hasn't had a decent sleep in a while. Of course, he doesn't know how he wound up wandering around the woods near the Temple, so maybe he hasn't.
He's back. Whatever that means. He went home. He knows he did. He went home, and it's been years. So much has happened, and in that time he remembered nothing of this place. So to find himself back here, suddenly, ripped out of his life again. Well. It's jarring.
Then to wander around lost in the woods until he remembered that right, yes, this is the forest around the Temple. He needs to think of the Temple to make his way back. That's helped. Marginally.
He's still a sight -- twigs and leaves caught in his hair and his clothes, dark circles under bright green eyes that are more than a little haunted somehow, like he can't figure out what's real.
Whether it's some sound or movement, the moment he notices the other presence, his eyes flare an eerie red, but he manages to hold back from shifting shape at the last moment.] ...Shiro?
[He speaks the name bewildered, like he's shocked to see him. He sort of is.]
