Search around

Obviously Nate wasn't interested in locating his absent article of clothing or even in having it returned, but he figured that out of his possible choices of what to do next in his current situation, with his clothes having been stolen leaving him naked, it was probably the next logical step of a normal person, a well as one that could lead to interesting results later on. Whoever took his trunks couldn't have gotten far, and if he searched around he might find them. Anyways, if he didn't find the thief (where they a thief if he had voluntarily removed his swimsuit and left it behind in a public area?) then he figured he would probably find something else to do later on.

Nate picked a direction and started walking around with a slightly wandering trajectory in a wide circle around the area to see if he could pick up anyone with his powers, but nothing came. After he had made a loop, keeping in character even though there was no one around, he thought it best to leave because it wasn't safe to stay in the one place where someone could find him. So he started walking along the border between the lower wooded area he was in and the elevated hill of sand, but he was walking back the towards the direction that he came from initially, towards his parents, but he had no intention of going to them. He figured that since he hadn't crossed paths with anyone walking past him when he returned for his trunks, then the person must have walked in the other direction. Either that or they walked down the other side of the hill, the steeper side, and would be by the water by now. That was assuming they came from the beach at all. They might have come from the woods and taken off back where they came from. It was a gamble, but walking in the direction was still the safest and most likely bet.

This is what was going through Nate's head, but all that rationalization and focus on logical thinking and decision making was boring to him. He tried casually fondling himself to cause some excitement, but it only half-helped alleviate the feeling that he was wasting his time, and that was he was doing was intended for reasonable people, not superhuman perverts like him. He stopped and looked around, wondering if he should try something more spontaneous and fun.
