It didn't take long for the pair to reach the campsite together. Louis was about to set his camera back down but quickly changed his mind and decided on attaching it's strap and hanging it around his neck for the time being. Just for precautions, of course, the last thing he wanted was for it to disappear again.

"Where did Liam leave that first aid kit..." he mumbled to himself as he began looking through the supplies, having not noticed the naked man was still following closely.

Louis grinned when he found the white box and then grabbed one of the smaller bandaids, unwrapping it and holding it out. "Come here, stick your finger out, yeah?" He told the man, giving it a minute until he realized the man wasn't listening to him.

"Hey, I said come here," he called and then boldly stepped closer to the man, reaching for his finger and wrapping the bandaid over the finger he had pricked earlier.

The man stared at Louis curiously before he looked down at his finger, experimentally bending it to see if he could in fact keep moving the digit around even with the bandaid.

"So," Louis started after a moment of watching the man, he didn't understand why the man was here, let some why he was in the nude. "Any chance of you giving me your name?"

The man looked back at Louis, "Harry," he said simply before he sat on the same rock Louis had sat on earlier, still inspecting his finger.

Louis lit up in surprise, the bare man spoke English which definitely felt like a good sign, "Harry? Alright Harry, I've got another fun question for you. Why on earth are you bloody naked?"

Harry seemed to have completely ignored the next question, because all he had said was the same word as before, "Harry," he nodded, showing the man he still knew his name.

"Yes, yes, you're Harry, I'm Louis," Louis quickly added and waved his hand around, "what are you doing here?"

"Harry," was once again repeated, only this time Harry was standing up and walking towards Louis. He was standing close, far too close for Louis' comfort. "Lou...ee," the man said slowly and then grinned, staring at Louis intently.

"Alright, back up mate," Louis chuckled nervously as he stepped back and away from Harry, "I guess you don't want to share much and that's fine with me, but that doesn't mean you're welcome here," he then said and raised an eyebrow at Harry.

He was trying to show dominance, to show he was tough and not scared shitless, but Harry wasn't paying any attention to Louis anymore. The bare man's eyes had landed on Louis' sketchbook, the one where Louis had drawn concept art of his paintings.

Harry walked over and then picked up the book, causing Louis to have quite the fit. Louis wasn't much of a fan of people seeing his work before it was completed, much less a stranger he had just met an hour ago.

"Leave that alone. Hey, give it back, will you?" Louis huffed out and then walked over hurriedly, but Harry was faster.

The taller man rushed to the other side of the campsite and watched Louis before he sat down and then properly began flipping through the pages.

Louis sighed heavily and then walked over to Harry, "I don't like people looking at my work, you're lucky there's nothing much in that," he told the man stubbornly while sitting next to him.

"Lou-ee," the man then gasped, stopping on the page where there was a page full of sketches of silverback gorillas. He leaned in closer to get a better look at the gorillas and then smiled at the drawings. "Harry," he repeated and quickly pointed to the sketches. He was convinced one of the gorillas on the page was his mother, the gorilla that had raised him for so many years. Harry wanted to tell Louis it was his mother, but in his excitement, all he could do was repeatedly tap the sketch.

Louis furrowed his brows in confusion, "what is it? That's a gorilla mate, there should be loads of them here," he explained, "have you see one? Did they steal your clothes?" He asked in amusement.

"Harry, Louis, Harry," the man emphasized while pressing his finger to the drawing, fully convinced it was his mother gorilla, and he intended to prove it to Louis.
