[There are a few things Mando might note about Pok's appearance: like Riz, he's neatly buttoned up in a suit, though right now he's not wearing the jacket. The vest he wears is the same one Riz own -- the one with the golden back and the faintest outline of wings. He also has the same tie and watch as Riz.

Pok looks up at Mando with an easy, charming smile -- the smile of someone who has spent a lot of time smiling at people, even if he doesn't necessarily feel like smiling.]

Who is your friend, kiddo? I don't think this is one of the Bad Kids I've heard so much about.

[It's all friendly, so very friendly. Pok is absolutely trying to suss out if Mando is a threat at all to his boy. Of course, not!

And Riz just buries his face in his hands for a moment, breathing in deeply. This isn't the first time he's seen his dad since he died -- they had those few hours in Heaven -- but that is months ago from his perspective and one little visit does not make up for years of absence.

That said, this isn't like last time. Mando is here, so Riz cannot just let all his defences drop. And anyway, this time Pok isn't really here. He's just a ghost. Something Riz cannot touch. Just something created by these stupid fish.

After another long breath, he looks up with a faint gesture.]

Mando, meet my dad, Pok. Dad, this is Mando. He's-- we've been travelling together.
