[Fern, being from a world full of kingdoms, knows a throne room when he's in one, and this is definitely a throne room. It's all teched out, but the core throne room-y nature is still there. He'd take the time to explore this if he wasn't hearing a whole lot of nonsense going on outside, down below, and a very familiar face up here with him.

Except... this Zib looks a little different. He doesn't have his usual hood covering most of his head, instead it's replaced by - Fern isn't sure what, honestly. Some big, ominous-looking mechanical thing that looks like it's half-jammed into his head. Has he always had that thing??

He watches the scene play out, confused, only approaching after a few minutes have passed.]

Dib?
