[It had been practically a blow to the gut for Golbez to hear someone referring to themselves as his mother. He elected to humor the poor, obviously deranged woman and accepted the device and small, apparently blind dragon that she had said belonged to him with courtesy and hidden bewilderment.
Once outside, he took a few moments to familiarize himself with the landscape. A small, peaceful hamlet, there was nothing here that seemed to pose a threat to himself or his new... pet. This was good, he could use a break after what he'd just been through.
He'd begun to explore when he saw something utterly bizarre out of the corner of his eye. Specifically, for a brief moment he thought he saw himself. Turning towards the figure, however, revealed that there were several differences between him and her, most obviously, well... the fact that the other person was a her. Also the scar on her face and the outfit, plus her hair was, on reflection, a bit lighter than his.
Still, an astounding likeness. Enough so that after a few seconds he realized he'd been staring for far too long, and turning away at this point would just be rude. So he decided on the next best course of action. Stroll up and initiate a conversation.
... Something he was kind of terrible at when he wasn't doling out bits of wisdom or dramatic speeches, honestly.]
Greetings. Are you a native to this place?
[... Okay, he really hoped that hadn't made him sound insane.]
[OOC: Alright, I don't know if you're canon-familiar, but Golbez here is an enormous (like seriously eight feet tall according to Dissidia), bulky, long-silver-haired badass mountain of a man who is a super stoic and almost never socially interacts unless he's doing something important. This has lead me and my friends who are familiar with both canons to create the running joke that in an alternate universe, he's Sakura's father.
Yes I know it's a weird reason to throw him at you but I just couldn't resist.]
