Whenever the irrealis is used on a verb without an aspect marker, it is assumed to be indicative of a future action (in most cases). The verb "walk" has not literally happened yet, which is why it is in the irrealis. However, the speaker is sure that the action will occur at some time in the future, which is why it is in the unmarked indicative. | Whenever the irrealis is used on a verb without an aspect marker, it is assumed to be indicative of a future action (in most cases).
