[(Deep. The only thing Hilbert has going for him his is Archeop's ability to have better eyesight in the dark and his own adaption to the dim lighting. The flashlight helps too, obviously.)
The footsteps don't catch his attention much - the idea that people would be wandering around in the ruins like him isn't too hard to handle! - but the growing light does. It's almost enough to make him panic - is it someone he's supposed to know? have they met? - so instead of immediately answering, he grabs his Island notebook from his bag and lays it beside him. He'll flip through it while he talks, skimming the pages.]
Uh -- yeah! Lots of it! Relic and I - that's him - it's been a while since we got to explore some old, musty place. Are-- are you?
[...no, it doesn't seem like he's met anyone here who's supposed to look like the girl in front of him, at least. Or have the same Pokémon as her. He's sure he would've drawn out such a strange looking one the first chance he got.
(And he will be doing that, on a fresh page of his Island notebook.)]
