Textbooks were always a tricky thing for Ethan. He attempted to learn as much as he could from them before he started to fall asleep, and he seemed to have done just that. The young nurse had decided to go over one of his instructional guides; there wasn't much business as a nurse, at the moment, since the ship only just disembarked. Thankfully, there were no problems yet. That might've been a bad sign.
Ethan started to gain conciousness when he heard the sound of.... music?
He was in a very secluded corner by one of the various windows, so it was possible that whoever decided to come in and play might've missed him, or just didn't care. The latter didn't seem very right.
The music stopped after a moment, and then was quickly followed up by chatter. He opened his eyes and noticed two women talking, one with a violin close to her. Ethan was rather caught off guard; he was usually a little more formal, and prepared when around others but this time he seemed to have not been so lucky. He had stopped in on the lounge to read, while in plain, bed clothes.
He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself but he didn't want to lay there until they left. He got up slowly and quietly, trying to make an escape. Normally, this situation wouldn't have bothered him, but again, he was caught off guard.
