[Normally Akihiko wouldn't have stopped at all-- but it's rare that he sees another non-elderly person with similar white hair. He waits quietly until the man finishes his post before speaking, not even seeming to notice the attempt at dramatics:]

Kinzo Ushiromiy-- No, Lord Goldsmith?

You must be from the past.

[pastsanity]

What makes you so sure of that?

[He musters his best I Have Power Over You look-- Everyone HAS been calling him Lord this and Goldsmith that, let's get something out of it. Bullshitville, here we come.] Perhaps I've simply chosen this form for myself.

[So it was a nice day. As usual Lion was sitting, reading a book and getting some culture, with the pokegear close by, to see if there were any transmissions that needed an answer...]
