[Zulf glances up a bit at that; he recognizes the voice before the person, though the man himself is a bit unforgettable, appearance-wise, isn't he - he's met several in Johto that are like that, actually.
But! Either way, he seems rather pleased for the company; he sets the string aside for the time being and stands up, smiling easily, though the expression doesn't quite reach his eyes - not to an extent that seems conniving, really, just that he's perhaps feeling a bit more solemn than he looks. He never quite gets rid of that look in his eyes; it's kind of a permanent thing by now.
He bows a bit, from the waist, more through politeness than any sort of deference.]
Gorthan. I'm pleased to finally meet you; have you been doing well?
