[Cloud paused in surprise as he saw the other version of himself in the crowd. The last time he saw this one it had been...over 5 years ago from his perspective. And yet now they were the same age. He must have been drawn from the same point in time from Gaia as they visited the one time.
Much like the other Cloud, Santa Cloud had spent five years in slumber, but his was a sleep of protection rather than experimentation. Even in the ways their lives converged there were differences.
But none of that mattered now. What mattered was keeping in character in front of the children. Having himself in the crowd like this actually helped judging by the stunned looks on a few faces.]
HO HO HO! Now now, I'm sure you're just a bit lagged from your travel. Off visiting friends with the other Heroes, aren't you? But don't you worry Hero of Light, Santa has a gift for you too for this Starlight Season. Why don't you help me get the kids all lined up so we can give these toys out?
[Congrats Other Cloud. Some of these people now think you're him. A few look skeptical until the antler wearing Gold Chocobo wanders over, gives him a sniff, and then starts nibbling on the visitor's spiky hair.]
