Finding a man lying down wasn't in his plans, less so when he bolts upright and yells out of nowhere, startling Elvis and making him nearly trip. He leans heavily on the cane he found instead, steadying himself before he stands a bit more upright.

He looks down at the startled man with a pleasant smile.

"My apologies. Were you resting? I did not mean to intrude in your space."
