[ He didn't entirely mean to end up in the Horizon. Not really, not even with that feeling tugging all around the edges of his consciousness when there's so much to be wary around in their surroundings. Wherever those happen to be when it comes to a map location since there's not much to go by with none of it looking familiar to what he knows exists around Cadens. Then again, he hadn't expected that by being underground it'd mean potentially under the sea either, so maybe that doesn't count for anything right now.
It's while resting before they need to be on the move again shortly that Claude's closed his eyes and awakens - kind of - in the Horizon when it becomes impossible to resist. He'd expected to find himself in his own domain after the entrance being so much easier unlike the struggle back in the cavern. Now there's nothing threatening to kick him out at any second, but a glance down at himself followed by a grimace proves that like before, his wounds have followed him inside as has his beyond disheveled and wan appearance. There's a chance he could try to disguise some of the lesions and cuts but a mild fear of the connection being cut by putting out too much effort keeps him from doing so.
As he pushes himself to his feet, it turns out the grating cough he's had for who knows how long also made it in with him and Claude covers his mouth with his forearm as he looks around. It takes another second but then he places his surroundings - a stream, fruiting trees and plants, the temple - as somewhere familiar indeed. ]
Kyle?
[ He calls out the other man's name curiously before he remembers there's a chance Kyle might not even be around. But there has to be a reason he's here, doesn't there? One cautious step after another forward then to find out. ]
