[In fairness to Lion, it's been a very long journey, loaded with drama and then shenanigans. After all the business with him and Will, and then Maya and Will, and perhaps especially the 'Willard' debacle ... albeit objectively the best part of the trip down, no one could blame Lion for needing some air.
The group had effectively (temporarily?) disbanded for some time, then, with Maya and Will off mentally babbling about something or another probably (very possibly Lion's departure, even) and Shinjiro taking off to go see what he could find out for the mission rather than hang around as an awkward third wheel.
But Maru is a small island, so it's not a big coincidence when he runs across them again later. He stops nearby to offer them a greeting; however, as someone who's also a Fool, he doesn't think to find some way to announce his approaching presence before actually speaking, which isn't the best of plans when half of someone is literally dangling over the edge.]

So this is where you went. Nice view.
