[ He doesn't know what he's doing and he doesn't know what to do. Before this place. he'd had Two Rivers and then, he'd had...well, whatever that group of people Moiraine had pulled together had been called. Rand's not even sure they'd had a name. But, there had always been people around him, people he cared about, wanted to protect.

But here, he is alone. He knows no one, he recognizes nothing and he hates it. He doesn't know why he's been brought here, what he's meant to do. His life before had been simple and he'd been content with that. Then, it had been upended by an Aes Sedai and he'd been told he could be something great, a champion that saves the world and then —

And then he was here. Standing in the middle of a marketplace with a charm around his neck and little else. He has his name and that's it.

Someone bumps into his shoulder and he stumbles, apologizing instinctively before he starts walking, footfalls slow and uncertain

Out of nowhere, his stomach growls and Rand rolls his eyes. ]

Well, I suppose...I could see if I could find someone who will let me work for some food. Maybe.

[ He winces and shakes his head. Maybe he could steal something. Just this once. ]

[ Rand's not exactly sure how he gets there but he somehow ends up on one of the main roads that he guesses takes him elsewhere. He's been told that there are other regions that he could get to if he walks enough but no one's heard of Two Rivers.

That doesn't stop him though. He starts walking, still hungry but ignoring it, while his boots kick up dust on the road. If he closes his eyes and inhales, he can almost imagine that he's back home. This isn't exactly like Two Rivers but it's close. Rand's able to tell that people here live quietly, unobtrusively and if he didn't know what he knows now, he thinks he could be fine with settling here.

Except there's no one else here that he would want to settle with and that — it leaves an emptiness inside of him that he doesn't like.

Head down, he keeps walking until he hears a sound in the distance that is distinctly not human. Reaching for his side, he tries to pull a dagger but finds nothing there. ]

Uh, hello?

[ Maybe it's a dog or a pig or something. There were farms around here, he's been told. Maybe it's just a lost animal. ]

Someone there?

[ Preferably something small that won't kill him. That's what he's hoping for. ]

[ For anything else that might not fit in the other prompts. ]
