Well... he does look away eventually. He's watching them closely for a good few minutes, waiting for them to take his hand. Lowering his hand when they don't. Pursing his lips when they just stay silent and still.
Finally he glances up towards the mountain again, wondering what he's missing. There has to be something, right?
He's absolutely unprepared when he looks back and the kid is gone, jumping in surprise. His eyes dart around him, trying to find where this kid could've gone in such a short amount of time.
"Hey! Kid!" he shouts, beginning to jog slowly around the area. He looks behind the buildings and down alleyways, finally coming to a stop when he realizes that they're just gone...? A ghost? He doesn't understand, glancing down at the hand he had offered to the kid.
He has to keep making progress, he decides. Hopefully he can find the kid... or the kid is somewhere safe? He doesn't know. All he knows is he's going to turn right back around, and start towards the cabins and then keep going, up into the mountains.
