Despite its supposed discreet location, people seemed to have an interesting habit of coming and going from...well, just about anywhere it seemed. Stein was already used to this sort of thing by now. Once in a while, a few new souls would come into town, but in the end they either were just too far away or they would seem scared off by the doctor. Or at the very least unnerved by him due to his own general appearance. That was fine though. The meister wasn't really one to go about talking to random strangers on a whim. Some would simply ask his help, he would answer their questions, and they'd be on their own merry way. Simple, right?
Though there did seem to be one soul that caught his attention.
He already perked up from the inside of his own mind, seeming confused before he turned to look at the other, olive green eyes showing said curiosity that he seemed to try and hide from his normally stoic face. Only a small hint was there, but still it was something nonetheless. As the newcomer came closer, he simply tilted his head, more or less looking over the new individual.
"Curious," was his only thought.
