Looker's phone buzzes on the desk beside him. He picks it up. It's a new number not already in his contacts. Not very many people have his personal number. He could count them on one hand. Even less weren't already registered. Reign check. Got to be Red. Pallet. Yeah, it's Red.
He grabs his travel bag. Didn't even get a chance to unpack from the last trip. The contents gets dumped into a pile for later and he shoves the necessities back in along with a couple of changes of clothes. He throws the satchel across his body. He's on the way out the door when he pauses. Three pokeballs shake on the counter. Hurriedly, he grabs them all.
"Can't forget you all again."
He doesn't bother with changing out of his causal wear. Jeans, a polo and his walking boots. The duster jacket gets tossed on regardless. His partners pokeballs get tucked into an interior pocket.
The trip to Pallet isn't too far and he can make in there in about an hour at a fast pace. This will be his first time heading there knowing that Red will be home. Every other time was just a hope. He makes sure to slow his pace when approaching town. No need to arrive sweating.
A quick hand through his hair to make sure his isn't too unkempt. He feels quite vulnerable not in his suit. Too late to change now. He knocks on the door.

@redlegend / continued.
He leans against a nearby wall and wipes blood from a busted lip. He has his own fair share of bruises and has cracked the skin on his knuckles. Not used to throwing punches. He rolls up his sleeves now stained with sweat and the edge of geometric patterned tattoos appear just past where his cuffs would sit at his wrists.
“Nothing is ever just a fight.”
He pulls out a folded piece of paper and hands it to Red.
“A copy of the termination of my contracted work with Interpol and the information for my private detective business. Might make it easier for us to be on speaking terms.”
He then signs in the Kanto dialect, gripping his hands together. Friends?
<<Surprised to see you.>>
<<I could say the same. Let's chat.>>
He crosses the floor to speak with Red.
"You just arrive?"

Another post for die-hard fans of Joan Aiken and her Wolves Chronicles.
Also for readers who love words and the names authors give their characters.
And for those wondering how far down a rabbit hole a curious blogger is prepared to go.
This post is the first of two discussing the people of Joan Aiken’s fantasy Is, a kind of prosopography* or Who’s Who of the individuals we meet, plus a bit of…

Exploring Humberland
Euston Station, Doric arch 1839
Joan Aiken‘s alternative world created for her Wolves Chronicles bears a great similarity to ours but with a number of significant tweaks to make it feel unfamiliar, even disconcerting.
With a plot that ranges from Blackheath — south of Greenwich — north to London and then on to the northeast coast (to what Aiken calls Humberland) this world is not just different…
