To her credit, Elise did not seem surprised or confused by the mention of Julien's surname, his brother's rank, or the Duchy of Snowbelle. In fact, she looked more at ease.[break][break]

Perhaps she was more familiar with Kalosian nobility than he thought.[break][break]

However, Julien did raise an eyebrow at the princess when she first confessed her earlier nervousness, then admitted that their chance encounter made her happy.[break][break]

"And why is that, Your Highness?" he asked.[break][break]

The waitress returned in short order with two glasses of cold water. Julien accepted the drink without glancing at the woman or uttering any thanks.

Julien arched an eyebrow at Delilah. "And you assume that Kalos is like Hoenn, where Legendary Pokémon are part and parcel of your everyday lives. I'm sure they would be for us, too, if anything as mystifying as this happened to our region."[break][break]

He gestured to the Silent Icelands spread out before them.[break][break]

"But no. Our Legendary Pokémon are aloof from Kalosian affairs. Xerneas and Yveltal are creatures of secrecy and mystery. They do not come when we call, but act with their own motivations."[break][break]

Julien was not a religious man, but even he knew better than to believe humankind could know the whims of such god-like creatures.[break][break]

Little did he know Xerneas and Yveltal were there in Hoenn, one of them bonded with a human in the unique phenomenon known as Avatarship.

As soon as the man introduced himself, recognition entered Julien's face. He inclined his head as well.[break][break]

"Barnaby. What a surprise, meeting you today like this," Julien said.[break][break]

Two younger sons of noble families addressing each other by their first names did not make their relationship as familiar as the custom would make them seem.[break][break]

"I had heard of your transfer. Are you still working in television, then?" The life of an ambassador provided little opportunity to watch morning talk shows.[break][break]

A Volcarona fluttered into view. A sudden AERIAL ACE from Severa brought the moth crashing to the ground. Julien threw a Pokéball to capture it.

Julien followed Eva to the souvenir tent and, after a few minutes of searching, found the perfect souvenir: a small, cute keychain that marilee beaufort could attach to her purse or keys. After paying for the bauble, he turned to Eva with a smile.[break][break]

"I had a delightful time with you today, Dr. Morales, but unfortunately, I must get going. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. You too, Kit."[break][break]

He bade them farewell, then walked off toward the direction of the exit, Varro at his side and the keychain in his pocket.

Why the secrecy indeed. Julien noted Audric's reticence to reveal his hometown, but did not press after it. A man was entitled to his privacy, after all.[break][break]

"I understand. I'm not from here, either." And that was that.[break][break]

Julien stood and took a bite of the rest of his corn dog. The taste was far too greasy for his liking, but Audric had paid for it, so he did the polite thing: he chewed and swallowed.[break][break]

"Her name is Lucilla, and she's one of my prized hunting dogs," he explained, pride evident in his tone and the way he looked at the Pokémon. "He's been a loyal companion for many years."[break][break]

A ping from his phone caught Julien's attention. Checking it, he saw a text from his assistant.[break][break]

"If you'll excuse me, Audric, I have some work matters to address." He offered the other man a smile in farewell. "It was nice meeting you. And thank you for the corn dog."[break][break]

Signaling for Lucilla to follow, Julien departed from the other man's side, making his way around a long line for the Tauros Rodeo game. Within moments, he vanished into the crowd and out of sight.

"Those sound like occupations that marry well together," Julien noted as they reached the front of the line. "I'm in politics, myself. I work at the Kalosian embassy in Ever Grande."[break][break]

He saw no need to specify that he was the ambassador. It felt akin to the unnecessary flaunting his peers among the Kalosian nobility loved so much. Anyway, if Audric wished to look him up, he'd learn the truth quickly.[break][break]

Julien ordered his corn dog, paid the seller, and stepped aside so that Audric could take his turn. As he did this, he tore off a chunk of the steaming hot snack and fed it to Lucilla. The Houndour gobbled it down eagerly.

A corn dog. A greasy, fatty, fried, carb-heavy option.[break][break]

Julien suppressed a grimace. "That's fine."[break][break]

They joined the short queue, Lucilla pawing with mild impatience at the ground. While they waited, Julien scanned their surroundings with mild curiosity. His gaze lingered on a tug-of-war contest happening nearby before he turned once more to regard Audric.[break][break]

"So what do you do, Audric, besides get lost in a maze of mirrors?" Julien asked, curiosity about the young man overcoming his disdain for small talk.

Julien accepted his bag of popcorn with a gracious incline of his head toward Robin. He opened it and popped a small amount into his mouth to test the flavor. An approving smile spread across his face.[break][break]

"Indeed. Thank you for the popcorn, Robin. Lucilla and I will be leaving now, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening."[break][break]

He tucked the bag under one arm and signaled for Lucilla to heel.[break][break]

"Good luck with your rangering as well," Julien added as an afterthought before raising a hand in farewell and walking away.

"Julien Demassieux," the Kalosian said in turn, introducing himself.[break][break]

Before long, the Joltik appeared and returned to her master's shoulder. Julien took the incense back and pocketed it, nodding in agreement with the plan. "Let's."[break][break]

They eventually made their way through the House of Mirrors, following the carpet stained with the dirt of a hundred footprints that had traversed through the attraction before. Stepping out into the fresh air and light, Julien breathed a sigh of relief.[break][break]

He turned to his new acquaintance. "What sort of treat were you thinking, Audric? I'm not much of a fan of sweets."

"It's fine. I don't need anything," Julien said to Robin as he handed her the Electrike plushie.[break][break]

She shot off toward the souvenir booth anyway, calling over her shoulder at him; he shook his head even as he joined her there. Nothing for sale appealed to him. Each item was a cheap bauble or knicknack, and he certainly did not need any T-shirts.[break][break]

"I think I would rather get a snack to go," he decided after a cursory glance at the souvenirs. He half-turned in the direction of the food stalls. "If you're serious about owing me, you can pay for a bag of popcorn."[break][break]

At Julien's side, Lucilla barked, clearly in agreement.

Julien frowned as he stepped up to the counter and received his set of rings. "Let's see what I can do."[break][break]

After a moment to carefully gauge distance and throw strength, he tossed the rings. All of them landed on the Dugtrio-shaped pegs in succession. Julien smiled, a hint of smugness in his expression, as the carny declared he could pick any prize.[break][break]

He scanned the toys on the wall. "You said you wanted an Electrike plushie, correct?" he recalled, gesturing to a row of the small stuffed Pokémon.[break][break]

The carny unhooked one from the wall and handed it to Julien.

Julien raised an eyebrow at the girl's introduction. "A Ranger? Is that right?" he said. She looked quite young to be part of the Ranger Corps, but perhaps she had just joined. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Robin. My name's Julien."[break][break]

He followed her to the Dugtrio Ring Toss game and regarded the setup with a critical eye.[break][break]

"I can certainly try my best, but aren't these games notoriously rigged?"[break][break]

Still, that wasn't going to stop him from trying, though. She had helped him, after all.
