The door was already cracked, but it creaked open further at Mulan's touch, revealing the barest hint of flickering light from within. Do-dads and baubles of all kinds adorned the wallspace that wasn't already taken up by tapesries and shelves full to bursting with books and bottles and, by the look of one shadowy shelf in the corner, an assortment of human skulls. There was no electric light in the room but candles were scattered wherever they could be reasonably placed; the room seemed hazy and shimmered with their flickering

Ohkay, the decor, it was creepy. Dr. Facilier. Even creepier. The man was not nearly as large as Shan-Yu was, however the hun never talked to himself or had a penchant for skulls as decoration. She stepped forward hesitantly, tucking her hair behind one of her ears. She resisted the urge to run her fingers through it, because it felt as if her every move was being followed.

She didn't know how she was supposed to open up to this guy, but she'd have to try her hardest. More punishment was the last thing she needed.

She stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, occupying her hands with the edge of her skirt, not quite knowing what to do with herself.

"I guess..." She looks up tentatively, "I'm not really sure what we are even supposed to be talking about."

[bffsonotherside]

"Why, anything you like." Facilier made a sweeping gesture at the center table, one side set with an ornate, almost regal-looking wingbacked chair, the other with a well-worn leather one. "Your professor did mention that he wanted me to... help determine some issues you may or may not be having with your roommate--" his tone was dismissive, but the keen gleam in his eyes said otherwise-- "but first and foremost your job is to relax. Come now, how am I to understand anything about you with you so tense an' riled? Have a seat here."

"Anything?" she nearly scoffed. "That's a lot of area to cover."

She walked slowly across the room and sat down in the chair that looked most for a student and made herself comfortable.

"Beyond the roommate..." She made a sour face, "There is the entire cross-dressing event, the dishonor I brought on to my family, and my extreme lack of--"

Whoa. She cuts herself short. She goes a bit red and if Facilier credits himself as any sort of people reader he's sure to notice that this is about her love life... well, to clarify, her lack of one. There was still a lot of pressure at home, both familial and social, to get married, it wasn't something she liked to talk about or get into...

AKA a place Facilier would love to prod.

[bffsonotherside]

Aha, now they're getting somewhere! Time to apply a little pressure. "You mean, you're used to people finding you unmanageable?"

[honor2usall]

Mulan flinches a bit at that, but nods, "Yes, where I'm from a woman shouldn't even speak out of turn, let alone join the army. I'm used to being a disappointment."

[bffsonotherside]

Hold up a second, what's this about the army? "You were an army man? ...Woman?" That's the first he's heard of anything of the sort, that's for sure. He hadn't expected being caught by surprise by anything Mulan had to say, that's for certain.

[honor2usall]

Mulan looks up a bit surprised,"Yes, my father was called to war, but if he had gone he would have died. I took his place.... as a man. For a woman to join the army would mean death."

Then in a small voice, "I guess that almost happened anyway...."
