Duo offered a soft chuckle in response as he brought up a hand to rub the back of his neck under his braid. He really shouldn't be quite as jumpy as he was. The wars were over. Peace was in place between the Colonies and Earth. He had a stable job and everything.
Old habits die hard, he thought.
"Ah, don't apologize. Just not use to people getting the jump on me." He offered the woman a bright, but embarrassed smile as he dropped his hand to his side, the other still propped on his hip. "I wouldn't know what Gazin folks dress like. Where are we? Europe? It's definitely not the Middle East. Maybe somewhere in southern Asia?"
He would have kept rambling, but the last question caught him off guard. Duo sucked in a quick breath before releasing it in a sigh. Wait, so he wasn't the only one? There were others? Maybe this girl...He crossed his arms over his chest and studied the girl with a more serious expression.
"I guess so, yeah. I laid down to take a nap after a hard morning at work, and I woke up...umm--" Duo looked up the road and motions back the way he came. "--Over there. Somewhere. Definitely not on the colony anymore..."
