He didn't stop talking while the stranger spoke but he was still listening, miraculously, and when he was asked for clothes he brightened up. "Clothes! Oh you're naked!" but he declared it loudly and as if he was excited about it more than upset about it. It seemed like his reactions to things were always a little bit off but generally that was just his good nature talking and talking and talking.
"You stay here and don't go anywhere while you're naked because they don't like that very much. They don't like a lot of things it's like wow they don't like things I mean what do they think is gonna happen? the THINGS will get them" he was laughing to himself as he stood up and walked away.
After a few minutes he returned with another white golf caddy outfit like the one he was wearing and he found himself coming up to the waterside again "CLOTHES!" he declared happily, holding them up to the sky to witness and then kneeling to offer them up "Now you can come and hang out with me and the cloth man, say.. do you want to be friends? we should be friends?"
