This was not Harvey's first time delivering to the museum and he didn't expect it to be his last. It was, however, the most cumbersome museum delivery he had had thus far. The four boxes—long, awkward, and extremely heavy—would easily require two to three trips. Fortunately, Harvey came prepared.

Harvey parked the delivery truck in front of the museum before loading the longest of the boxes vertically on a dolly. As he adjusted the box's position, he spotted the name printed on the label: "Yuina Higashi". He shrugged.

Never heard of her.

Harvey wheeled the dolly into the museum and immediately headed towards the front desk. He quickly noticed there wasn't anyone manning it, but there didn't seem to be any other staff nearby. In fact, there wasn't anyone nearby. The museum seemed like a ghost town. Granted, it was midday on a weekday, so most people would be too busy at work or school to visit the museum. Still, the lack of employees was troublesome. Considering how heavy the boxes were, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to move them somewhere else without the use of a dolly, and Harvey still had a few other deliveries to make. He grumbled, wondering if he should just in bring all the boxes anyway and let the museum workers deal with the situation themselves.

It was all really very exciting, that her field work as a ranger was in turn helping her career in being a museum curator, what a way to come full circle. If it weren't for her involvement in trying to hunt down distortions and the events that took place beneath the swamps of Fortree City, Yuina wouldn't have had any credibility to begin work on an entire section for Hisuian history, but now she was given the room to run with it.[break]
Today was delivery day! A new set of display cases, stands, and other such implements were set to be delivered today so that she could get started on a new section of what she was working on. And it was just about time that the delivery was scheduled to arrive...[break][break]
Smoothing out her white blouse tucked into the waist of her beige knee length panel skirt, adjusting her glasses as she walked along the polished marble floors in her black flats, Yuina made sure to start moving towards the front of the museum around the designated time window. It was fortunate, that today was one of the slower days of the week, given the time of day, it would be much harder to coordinate getting a couple of things in a right place if there were too many people walking around.[break][break]
Moroe padded along beside Yuina's heels, and Iono walked at Yuina's side, as she could figure that the delivery in question may be a bit bulky and in need to carrying. And sure enough as she rounded a corner she found a very large box standing upright on a dolly, and had to assume there was someone behind it propping it up.[break]
"Mmm, excuse me? Is this for Yuina Higashi," she inquired, moving gingerly with a wide breadth around the box, no need to be in the way or startle the person who might be delivering for her, finding an older gentleman standing with the dolly.

Lost in his thoughts, Harvey nearly missed the sound of approaching footsteps echoing in the lobby. He sighed with relief and moved to peer around the box, but was stopped as the footsteps revealed themselves around the opposite side: A young woman that, based on her attire and inquiry, he could only assume was an employee. His attention then shifted to the Zorua and Infernape trailing beside her, the sight of the latter teasing him with hope.

"Yeah, you her?" His glance flickered from the woman's small frame to the Infernape, then back to her face. He gestured to the front doors with a pointed thumb.

"There's a few more out there, and they're all on the heavy side." He noted.

Stepping out from the other side of the box and facing the gentleman now, Yuina was delighted to know that it was the delivery she was expecting, and just on time too![break]
"Yes, I'm Yuina, thank you so much for your time today," she nodded, but she knew they couldn't sit there and chit chat, that box alone looked heavy and if there was more to grab then they should really make sure that they could get it situated.[break][break]
"I made sure to have some Pokemon available today to assist. They can grab the rest, and if you'll follow me we can get that set down," Yuina offered, with Iono she also released Nyla the Sneasler and Delton the Decidueye, all of which should be able to get the remainder of the boxes for her.[break]
"Shutoku suru," Yuina spoke then for the Pokemon, a command of sorts, gesturing towards the front doors. The three Pokemon nodded and moved towards the entrance, and she seemed rather pleased with herself.[break][break]
"We're practicing our Hisuian. Please, this way," she smiled, offering the gentleman to follow her, just down the hallway they'd be able to have him set that box down.

With the literal weight of his job now lifted off of his shoulders, Harvey could have cheered. However, he knew how to express his relief in more appropriate ways.

"Thank you very much, miss." He smiled. He kicked back the dolly onto its wheels and turned it in front of him. As he pushed it towards Yuina, he listened to her Hisuian speech and nodded.

"Cool." He replied to her explanation. He trailed behind her as she led him away, the squeaky old wheels on the dolly echoing in the spacious halls.

"You moving to Hisui?" He queried.

Moving down the hallway, careful to stay in the gentleman's line of sight given the large box so that he could aptly follow her, Yuina was buzzing with how she was going to set everything up, already starting to plan out where each display box, each panel, each shelf was going to go. It was exciting, seeing everything come together piece by piece, it had been her greatest joy so far, just having something like this to pour herself into.[break]
Things were quiet for a moment, save for the squeaking wheels of the dolly as they moved down the hallway, and then he asked a question...[break]
Yuina stopped, it caught her off guard, her mind had already been racing, this derailed everything and she felt her chest tighten...[break][break]
Would you ever think... to go back to what the universe made you leave behind...[break][break]
Desiree's question had been floating around in her mind ever since she asked it, and he made it sound so simple, that she could just go there... She drew in a breath.[break][break]
"Uhm, I... No, it's actually a dead language for the most part... Hisui was what the Sinnoh Region was known as before it was colonized, centuries ago," she returned, glancing behind her and finding that her Pokemon had in fact retrieved the remaining boxes and were moving up the hallway with them.[break]
"But, the exhibit I'm working on makes it feel that way though? It is dedicated to that history," Yuina smiled then, motioning just a bit further down the hallway, beside an entry pillar.[break][break]
"Go ahead and place that there, if you would, my Pokemon can take it where we need it from here."

"That's cool." Harvey replied, thinking about when he probably would have learned all that in school. The old Harvey didn't care much about history. However, the new Harvey—well, he cared enough to admit that sometimes, history was pretty interesting.

Pulled from his thoughts, Harvey registered Yuina's instructions to him. He slid the dolly right up to the pillar and placed its bottom on the ground, one hand on the package to prevent it from falling forward. With a grunt, he then lifted and pulled the box off of the dolly and gently leaned it against the pillar.

"I'll go check on the Pokémon. Make sure they got the right packages." He said, grabbing the handle of the dolly and kicking it on its wheels once more. Not that he doubted the Pokémon's capabilities, of course; the designated packages were right in front of the truck's back doors and were separated from the rest of the cargo.
