Dan stood there for a moment and watched, partly out of shock at seeing someone other than himself here and partly to see if the person would do anything else. He looked closer at the jumpsuit, wondering if it was something like an Air Force or Military thing, and then turned round carefully in case this was a trap and the kneeling man was bait. He just saw the beach where he'd walked from.
He walked a little further, not wanting the man to have his back to him all the time, and also trying to see what the man was holding. Folding his arms over his chest, Dan softly cleared his throat and then spoke for the first time since he'd arrived in this place.
