"Oui, and now you have," the professor smiled, "What do you think of it so far?"

"We'll, you are a tourist and as the resident professor I try to help any tourist I see come to appreciate Kalos," Sycamore smiled warmly, "It truly is a beautiful region."

"Just general maintenance," he replied lightly as they strolled along, "Repairs need to be done before the city starts to crumble and no on wants that. The City of Light and Love reduced to rumble would be a horrible sight."

"Accessories are important," he agreed with a nod, "Do you have a favorite stone, by any chance?"
