Falkner is the simplest leader, I understand. I haven't faced him yet, but I'm considering offering him the chance to simply forfeit. It would be better not to have to heal his pokemon from severe frostbite.

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

He may be simple, but I'd advise against taking him lightly... That is, if you haven't already been here for three months before I arrived.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

If I didn't have a very competent team already, that advice might actually be valuable to me, friend.

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

Right.

By the way, which city are you in now, if you don't mind revealing that?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

You really can't figure it out from the implication that I'm planning to challenge Falkner?

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

I figured you might be simply intending on travelling here to do that, rather than being here.

That's strange, though, considering the size of this city I can't possibly have missed you throughout these two weeks, can I?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

I've been in Violet for longer than that. Since before you even arrived in Johto.

I don't actually go out much.

[Audio] erk. missed this tag. until now ;;

[dnoteworthy]

Ah well... I don't suppose you'd like to meet up somewhere, would you?

[Audio] No worries

[dead_black_eyes]

For... what? A game of tennis? A cup of coffee?

...a pokemon battle?

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

I have no wish to put my team through torture, thank you very much.

Rather, I was thinking of merely having a meal together. Have a little chat. What say you?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Most pokemon like to battle, but it's probably wise not to expose them to my team.

If it's a date you want, I guess I don't have any objections. Nowhere too upscale, though, or noisy. You know my rules.

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

Alright. What about [Insert restaurant name here. There's a few restaurants in Violet, so he'll go for one that isn't... Well, his part time workplace.]? It's just a little way from the inn.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Don't wear loose clothing. Keep both of your hands visible and palm-up whenever they are not occupied with eating.

Can you agree to these terms?

[Audio]

[dnoteworthy]

... [Light's annoyed by this constant wariness, isn't it clear?~ He'll just deal with it, though.] Sure, that's fine.

[Action]

[dead_black_eyes]

[Once a time and location have been sorted out, as well as L's uncompromising terms for the meeting, he shows up and glances around for signs of Light Yagami. He is his usual unimpressive self, appearing languid and poorly dressed and groomed.]

[Action]

[dnoteworthy]

[Having already gotten to a table, he'll spot, and thus look over at L, and upon catching his attention, give a nod of acknowledgement. He isn't the sort to seek attention by raising a hand or calling out to others, after all.]

[once L was within audible distance, Light'll greet the detective.] Nice to see you again.
