It's a fairly quiet Christmas. Kaiba is enjoying a day on the beach with his team, playing as they love to do. Goose the Goomy plays in a shallow puddle of water that her trainer has dug out for her, Kisara the Pikachu seems to be jumping on a surfboard some trainer left on the sand, and Goliath...

Well. Goliath the Sobble just loves the water. He crawls toward it, chirping a hello at Bonsly, and Kaiba rushes forward to grab him.

"Come on. I can't lose you to the ocean."

He's crouched over Goliath protectively when a shadow falls over them, and he just happens to look up at the biggest wall of muscle he's ever seen. Not that Kaiba's too shabby himself, but he's too rail-thin to be a beefcake no matter how well defined his abs are. This one's on another level...

...and momentarily distracted, Goliath manages to squirm free of Seto's grasp and touch the water, where he promptly disappears.

Staring is rude, of course, so he turns back to Goliath...or at least where Goliath was. "Goliath?"

No answer, of course. Which means he has to turn back to the large stranger.

"Ah...excuse me. Did you happen to see which way my Sobble went?"
