( Ko seems far too absorbed in his task to really notice others around, other than noting the more obvious passersby as they go. Hyperfocus isn't foreign to Ko, but this subject and this depth is new to him.
His brain seems to thrum when he's looking over these plants, a distant and deep sort of interest and familiarity that he's attempting to puzzle out. The shrub he's looking through has small berries on it, a few of which he plucks from where they wait.
Then he's moving, though, stepping back and onto the road properly; there's still a bit of focus in his face, but it seems that focus has shifted from digging through the local plants.
Passing by Gethen, Ko's eyes alight on him for a moment, his quick pace slowing a little as he goes. He gives him a nod, though his brow furrows a little. )
yaayyyy!!
