LOOKER'S MOST SECRET DIARY
The XXth day of the XXth month
Partner,
Serena has returned. She did so unannounced, so I was unable to return her peace offering with her favorite food (Galettes, it seems), but she did bring a gift for you: a picture frame you would have very much appreciated. She tells me it was crafted in Laverre City, "the city of otherworldly dreams." Did you see her there, I wonder?
She has improved greatly. She is no longer painfully obvious when searching my belongings. I have given her leave to do so—it is the best way to practice her espionage, given her curiosity about me, and each time she is successful, I allow her to read my other journal—which includes notes on the case, but now information about me, as well. Nothing that would reveal my true identity, I suppose I might say…but things that a partner might wish to know.
My favorite genre of music, for example, or once, when she was able to leave my room almost exactly how I left it after searching for my wallet (hidden in plain sight, though she did not realize this until long after she had torn the place apart), how you and I came to be partners. I know you would approve. She is talented, and I now find that her Unovan familiarity is welcome in a city whose citizens are unfriendly toward strangers. But I suppose most people from this area are this way.
An exception to this is Rosine (she insists on being addressed without the 'Ms.'). She sometimes drops by the office to present us with food to show her gratitude for finding her Furfrou, which I know pleases Serena greatly. Cece, too. Perhaps the Meowstic takes after her illustrious trainer more than she knows, for meals also appear to be the way to her heart.
Rosine has sent several clients to our doorstep, which seems to please Serena as well. Unfortunately, while we have begun to receive cases dealing with theft and crime requiring Serena's battling skills, none of them have aided me in my true mission to find Xerosic.
I know I must make further efforts to progress in my mission, but helping those in need is not unsatisfying, especially when Serena performs a particularly ridiculous but amusing victory dance. Flamiche often joins her.
I am certain you would greatly enjoy performing a victory dance with her. As for me, you know I do not dance very well.
Forgive me, a client has just arrived and I must go. I shall write more soon.
(You are sorely missed.) Your assistance would be a great aid at this time.
Looker
