[The best time for Raihan to have any free time would be outside of League season. Even at the beginning of the Gym Challenge when no one has made it to him yet, his city served as a waypoint between others, and it was his duty to not only hype the challengers passing by up, but also keep an eye on the Vault and make sure no one tried sneaking in without his permission.
Once the season was over, he was a Gym Leader in more of a traditional sense: keep the peace in the city, approve projects, oversee the infrastructure, etc. There was a lot more that went into the job than just being a competitive sports players a few months out of the year, and while it was a lot, Raihan wouldn't give it up for the world.
Still, that did free up some time for him, so when Sonia asked if they could grab lunch together, he accepted. There was a cafe he liked that was away from the general bustle of Hammerlocke, and they agreed to meet there.
Sonia was the only person who could keep up with his historical ramblings, even healthily debate with him, though she got so much more into it than he did. It was nice to have someone whose eyes didn't glaze over when he talked about the ancient days of Hammerlocke or the historical significance of an artifact, and he deeply appreciated it.
Raihan's in his regular, civilian clothes now, which is a general sign to not disturb him, and the people of Hammerlocke respected him enough to follow it. He pushes his designer shades up to his head when he sees Sonia, much like the way she has hers, and gives a wave.]
