The door clicks shut behind you, sealing out the biting evening chill. Inside, the amber glow of lamplight washes over the floor, and the air is thick with the comforting scent of aged leather and woodsmoke. From the dimness of the hallway, your Lucario emerges, her sleek blue-black fur shimmering under the lights. She plants herself firmly in your path, arms locked across her chest, pinning you with a piercing, narrow-eyed glare. "You're late, you," she snaps, her voice tight with irritation, though the frantic, tell-tale flicker of her ears betrays the surge of relief flooding through her.
