she leads him into the plain room that looks unused. he surmises that she's only recently arrived in rustboro though is unsure if she'll even spend the night. no reason to once she gets what she wants. he wouldn't either, if their roles were reversed.

alexander steps over to the curtains and draws them so slightly, letting sunlight peak in along with a modest view of the city. as littered as the skyline is with high-rises, the beige of the sand and the blue of the ocean still remains prominent.

he watches her carefully as she pulls out a bow and then its arrows; four with each tip a different color. he doesn't have to wait for her explanation to understand what the differences are, but he nods anyways.

she leaves a question in the air. "they think it strange because they do not understand. they rely on their pokemon, put all their trust in them, which is a logical thing to do. but times are changing." 

he reaches for the papers and flips through them, eyes scanning with relative ease. he speaks while reading.

"these are impressive designs. innovative." the designs are for thunder wave arrows and toxic arrows; rough, but still applicable. "there is certainly room for improvement, but these will do." 

a minute passes and eventually he lowers the papers, sets them back down on the box before looking at her. he nods.

"i can. give me a week and i can have the first batch ready for you to test." a week is a tight deadline but he can manage it. the designs are there, all that needs to be done is a bit of fine-tuning.

"i assume you won't be staying the night? you should reconsider. rustboro has a lot to offer."
