"Not yet" is the answer Owen prefers to no, his gaze passing over the man to the fountain's cascade. "But I know a decent number of people came out of it before you--myself included."
No one had bee standing immediately by to greet him, and he'd wandered in several directions--and climbed several trees--before being spotted and given the Cliff notes on the subject. He wonders how people usually handle it: he wonders how the man he'd been looking for handles it, having made it something of a job.
Owen's less concerned with handling new people than he is information. He's never going to get to the point of saying yes to their questions if he doesn't keep at it. Ends; means. Stuffing his hands in the pockets of his now off-white scrubs, he focuses back on the man. "Where did you wind up coming from," he asks, and to soften the question offers his own: "I was on a street corner in Los Angeles. Felt like--falling asleep, then I was in there."
