The buildings of Irisia were as deep as they were tall; several stories and floors could be found underneath the ocean's waves, with thick glass panes to prevent them from breaking under pressure. James has always enjoyed the beauty of such technology; people should be the viewers to nature. Pokemon and humans can coexist, just not together. He would rather observe them from afar--something, he thinks, that Irisia has done well. Apart from that one Magikarp, at least.
He steps into the elevator, fingers pressing on the lowest button. When it falls, he turns to observe the water past glass panes. The sunlight filters out, fading away as he moves deeper into the ocean. When the elevator stops, punctuated by a single ding, the lighting has changed to someone more moody; dark. Such atmosphere is the hallmark of this restaurant.
"James Silph." He lilts politely, watching as the hostess greets him in an overly cheery tone--whether she did it exclusively for him or not, he didn't know. She leads him in, and opens the doors into their dining room, tables sparse. Few people are seated here, and it offered some privacy against prying eyes. What appealed to him most was the window they're sat next to; a pane from floor to ceiling, a coral reef settled in front of them. Blue light washes against mahogany wood, and he grins. It's soothing to see something so serene.
James slides into the seat, not bothering to glance at the menu. He's letting himself splurge on junk food just this once. He thinks he deserves it; just for today, at least.
"The usual --cheeseburgers and fries for us. Luci be here shortly."
With his order out and table settled, it's now just a matter of waiting.

| L ucienne was never late. Of course, she was never early either, but she always arrived precisely when she meant to. By being fashionably late she allowed her companion to arrive and settle before she followed behind, looking every bit the part of a smart, well-presented young woman. Adjusting her feet a little in her heels (by lifting them out and repositioning them) she saw a school of Alomomola swim past the glass panel of the elevator and smiled broadly.
With her laptop bag draped over one arm, she could have been hurrying for an interview rather than a meal with one of her close friends. A greeting to the hostess and a nod of recognition, she pleasantly refused the offer to be shown to the table and instead headed straight for where James had already made himself comfortable, putting the case down and propping it against the table as she took her seat and offered him a knowing smile.
❝ Is that Corsola usually there, James? Or do you think we’re going to get some new views with a new family moving in? ❞ It’s a warm greeting, settling a napkin on her lap regardless of the fact that she knew there would be greasy, delicious junk food offered to them in mere moments.
❝ I hope you weren’t waiting long- ❞ She knew he wouldn’t have been, but it’s polite, ❝ -there’s been quite the stir in the station today and they’re sending me down to Firefly Springs later to find out what’s going on. Some kind of swarm or something. Makes me glad I live here, honestly. ❞ Reporting in the thick of many people and Pokemon wasn’t her favourite part of the job, but she knew it would be what the people wanted to see, ❝ I’m certainly glad we get to do lunch first. Ordered already? ❞

James had arrived early. Punctuality is paramount in the world of business, and that's bled over to his personal life as well. He doesn't mind waiting; as long as his guests aren't overly late, and he's sure that he can count on Luci being on time--as she always is. In a time where tensions are high and trust remains a scarcity, it's comforting to know that there's someone he can depend on.
Not more than a couple minutes after six does she arrive at the table, sliding into the seat across from him. "Lovely as ever, Luci." He greets pleasantly, mirroring her and setting his own napkin on the top of his lap. James takes a glance, eyes scanning the ocean's floor for the pokemon they'd come to recognize.
"The Corsola might've moved since we were last here; but I did manage to spot a stray Eelektross hiding in that cave right there."
He points to the den across from them--the pokemon stayed out of view, but he's sure that it'll show up again, eventually. Probably. Regardless, he's sure that they'll find other pokemon as well.
"Not at all," He responds. It'd been ten minutes at most, and she's on time anyways. He listens intently as she explains; a swarm at the edge of Firefly Springs. He snickers. Reporting on pokemon appearances are the bread and butter of the news world, and he can't help but laugh lightly at Luci's inconvenience.
"Be careful, Luci. Don't fall in the lake like that last reporter." He teases, well aware of her taste in opulence. It'd be a shame to ruin it, especially in a lake as dirty as the springs. James nods at her question. He swirls soda in the glass case of his cup and grins.
"Of course--the usual for us, unless you'd like to try something new." He says, more of a courtesy than anything. Cheeseburgers and fries may not be the food for the wealthy, but it's sure as hell delicious. Life shouldn't be wasted for the expectation of other people.
"How have you been?"
