It's not the first time he's woken up in unfamiliar surroundings alone, but it is the first time he's woken up in such tidy accommodations for it. Usually at the very least there are messy bedsheets, and no one's ever given him a selection of clothes before. At least no one's demanded anything demeaning of him yet, which is better than the last time he woke up like this without having the slightest clue what happened.
[ SPINNING WHEELS ]
Ganymede has the sense not to touch someone else's spinning wheel, at least: it isn't a skill he's ever particularly practiced, either, which is fortunate in that he has very little curiosity about them. They're simply objects, albeit the more of them he sees the more concerned about wherever he is he gets. It's been a long life, he's learned to recognize oddities rather well.
That said he's likely to stop you and question why on earth you're following him.
[ APPLES ]
Ganymede has had a long life. A very long life. Enough to make aging a...slightly less terrifying event. He's been eating the apple that had seemed to call at him rather steadily, until he pushes his hair back and finds it a solid gray, and his hands thinner, the skin less taut. He might be staring for quite a while, but look closer: his expression is not horror. It's fascination.
