The pokémon looked up at the group as they filed in, and adjusted his glasses. Behind the lenses, his eyes seemed to adjust to their presense. He stood, and gave them a stiff bow.
"That I am," he replied, in a measured, authoritative voice. A slight rasp may have indicated that he was quite old, but perhaps that was just how his species sounded. "Inteleon Nolan, auditor and investigator. I believe I've been expecting you."
Nolan's expression as he eyed certain members of the group looked somehow skeptical, as if he were looking for something inside them. Or possibly his vision was simply not what it had been.
"Thank you," he replied. "It's the best slot I could find in my itinerary, I'm afraid. Apologies for the choice of meeting-place, but it's a challenge to make off-the-cuff arrangements when pressed for time."
He gestured around himself as he said this, indicating that this was not his own office, but rather, his work simply placed him there at the present time. The documents on the desk looked, at a glance, like work orders and paperwork for Steel Spirit. A fine leather briefcase waited in the corner, likely Nolan's.
"'Available' is a strong word," said the Inteleon, with a dry smile, and some irony. "However, Dakota is a... He is a decent fellow, and I dare say, a friend. I owe him enough favours by now."
Nolan raised a brow, but the dry smile remained.
"Straight to business, eh? Very well. That suits me just fine, under the circumstances. About which matter in particular would you like to exchange information? Dakota advised me that you may have several concerns I could help with."
He sat back down, and folded his hands on the desk.
"I normally charge by the hour, but I'll make an exception in this case."
The corner of his mouth quirked in subtle jest.
"Excuse me. Are you, by any chance, Nolan?"
"That I am," he replied, in a measured, authoritative voice. A slight rasp may have indicated that he was quite old, but perhaps that was just how his species sounded. "Inteleon Nolan, auditor and investigator. I believe I've been expecting you."
“Hope this is a good time. And…nice glasses?”
He peered around the room as the others greeted the Inteleon, looking around for any interesting clues.

"Thank you for meeting with us on such short notice. When Dakota said he'd reach out to you, I hadn't expected you to be available so soon."
"'Available' is a strong word," said the Inteleon, with a dry smile, and some irony. "However, Dakota is a... He is a decent fellow, and I dare say, a friend. I owe him enough favours by now."
“Right, rumor has it you know some things about these shady Pokémon. Tell us what you know.”
He shook the thought and brought his attention back to the inteleon, ears perked for whatever he might say.
Nolan raised a brow, but the dry smile remained.
