The clock ticked sharply at each second and the condensation on my glass dripped further down. It was another Thursday at the local pub, but then again, saying that isn't entirely true. I sit here completely and utterly alone with my glass, while usually I have my eccentric companion, Looker, with me. Truly we make quite the sight for sore eyes: A well-groomed investigator and a ladies-man professor, but we didn't gather just for looks of course. We truly did enjoy each other's company. We were both quite well aware of our visage and how it inspires the wet dreams of many women, but it was always nice to confide with a fellow man that understood your plight. But today my companion seemed to be gone from my side and many eyes laid upon my lonesome figure, I could almost visualize the drool.

I considered all hopes of him coming to my rescue gone, about to leave when he entered, his face a tad-bit red. Upon seeing me still waiting for him, he smiled in relief and rushed over to my dejected figure. I returned back to my seat and he followed promptly. We sat like this for a moment, letting him recollect his thoughts before he turned to me sharply and smiled, "I truly believe I found her."

I ordered a drink for both of us and looked at him in confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about now?" my voice with a faint hint of exasperation.

Looker smiled and sighed, his eyes seeming to look beyond me in his remembrance, "The one I hope to spend the rest of my life with."

My eyebrows shut up in surprise and I took a drink from the cups before us, "Really? Why's that?"

"I don't even know, she just is."

I smiled into my glass and set it aside and laid my head onto my hand, "And how did this 'woman' fall into your grubby little hands?"

Another sigh of infatuation before Looker began, "Well, that's precisely why I was a tad-bit late arriving here, you see. I was on my way, when I saw her. She flew in from a Salamance, I'm not sure from where, but her cheeks where red from the chill so probably Northern Kalos. But as she stood before me with her face full of confidence and determination, I could feel my knees go weak and my throat tighten. At first I didn't approach her, I just watched in a fool's amazement as she visited each store, talking to each person with charismatic ease, never buying anything, just stopping by to say hello. And before I could stop myself, I reached out and touched her. Of course she turned to look at me in confusion, but I quickly recovered. I asked if she wanted to work as my partner. And do you know what she said?"

I snorted and looked at my fellow with amusement, "I couldn't possible guess, but I'm sure it was magical."

"It was magical! And she said yes! We had a quick respite at my work place and I gave her a mission, quite out of complete terror and she was off. I cannot wait to see her again, just the thought sends me in quivers."

I smirked. Truthfully I was quiet happy that my fellow man could find someone that sent his system into a shock, and truthfully, I was a jealous. I too, wished to find someone I could hold close and listen to their heartbeat, like a distant rumble of an oncoming thunderstorm.
