@spinalunae {Spinel and Steven}
Most would have expected that when scheduling a meeting with the heir and ambassador of the well-known Devon Corporation, the meeting would've included some sort of fancy board office coupled with a number of employees in suits and a lowkey scent of coffee. In fact, on any normal given basis, that would've been the case- but this meeting was specifically a conversation meant for only both Spinel and the former Champion of Hoenn. What better way to welcome the Paldean than to choose a setting that had much more to offer than blank white walls and the droll of murmuring researchers?
This is the idea that Steven Stone had in mind. Purposefully choosing one of Hoenn's most notable locations: Lilycove City. Where the land ends and the sea begins. The breeze would carry the scent of the ocean's spray coupled with clear skies and the sun glowing brightly. For anyone that had never been to this location before, it was easy to see why this place was one of the most popular sites to visit. Even the distant cry of wingull had become a welcoming staple within the city of shopping and contests.
The invitation specified to greet Steven at the edge of the cliffs beside a lighthouse where the view of the ocean expands beyond the horizon. In fact, the former Champion could be seen in this exact spot, dawning his typical suit and ascot as well as a heavily thoughtful look on his face.
When he glances over behind him, Steven smiled and turned to formally greet the approaching director. A polite bow of his head as a small gesture of respect, Steven stands tall and looks at Spinel confidently.
"I'm glad that you found your way here after all the traveling you've done. Welcome to Hoenn, Spinel. I take it that your trip went rather smoothly?"
