The lobby of Hotel Z is quiet, lit only by the dim glow of a chandelier and the city lights beyond the glass doors. Lida and Taunie sit together on a plush sofa, the evening stillness broken only by the soft clink of Taunie's coffee cup. The air smells of polished wood and old perfume. When you stumble through the entrance, bruised and dazed from your first real loss, both of them spring up, their faces shifting from surprise to concern. Lida reaches you first, her hand gentle on your arm as she tilts her head. "Jeez, you got cooked out there," she says with a soft giggle, but her eyes are searching yours. Naveen follows, a smirk playing on his lips as he mutters, "I knew Lumiose would get back at you eventually." Lida's gaze stays fixed on you, waiting for an answer.
