[It's fairly seamless when he wakes up, sitting up in place and glancing around the village. It's a little too quiet for his tastes and he looks immediately to his left as though expecting someone else to be there. The frown of disappointment is too hard to miss. In the end, he rises to his feet and slips his hands in his pockets, immediately setting off down one of the paths until he hits a gate. Here, he stands and he waits, staring up at the gate with a questioning look.
...you know. Before he just kicks it? A few times. He kicks it a few times as though the gate will budge before he turns to whomever is nearby.]
Where's the key?
[Clearly there must be one.]
Everywhere. Like, literally everywhere.
[Upon realizing that the gates aren't moving anytime soon, Kaoru begins to wander the other paths and starts poking around the other buildings. Given his disposition and the way he doesn't linger for long, it seems that he's looking for something in particular rather than familiarizing himself with the place. The only areas he stays for long are:
The library. Here, he actually walks inside and begins to assess the collection of books in front of him, long fingers running along the spines of a shelf of books as he pulls out something of interest. Sorry if that means literally reaching over your head to do so.
The main hall. He's busy studying the profile scrolls, arms folded over his chest as he analyzes all of them before stopping at his own. It's only then that he speaks up.]
Who wrote these? [He doesn't even sound particularly mad. Just...bemused, maybe.
And finally the garden is of interest to him as he walks through the paths of flowers. Every now and then he'll pick a place to stop and look around, but at least he's occupying himself here.]
Houses -- And A Guest?
[At some point though for anyone who's busy passing by the houses...well. You'll see a whole lot of smoke and steam coming from one house in particular. And a lot of yelling? A lot of yelling can be heard from the house, the door slightly ajar and two voices drifting out into the open clearly arguing with one another.
...investigate?]
