When I ran back in OOCly they were just teleporting away.
I mean, should I possibly consider this as just characters being IC and just curious or watching? Should I have actually asked OOCly "Hi are you ICly watching my character?"
That's hard to say. If they're in public doing it, and you noticed it, and you were RPing in public, and your character would notice it... would it play well for you narratively? Would a paranoid moment help with your character development? If so, I'd run with it. I often take strange things like this IC and comment on them in IC chat; one time, I had a lalafell in smallclothes stare at me. They ran away when I acknowledged them IC, then ran back to do it again when I went back to the conversation I was having. Whether this person was IC or OOC, I don't know, but it was an amusing narrative moment.
So, I'd run with it IC if it works for you narratively. If not, chalk it up to the oddities of OOC and ignore it.
