Closing the cabinet door, Darcy locked it with a key from her key-ring which she then placed into a drawer at her desk. Her new desk. New file cabinet too--filled with all the students' profiles. She looked about the room, taking in its details. Her new office. She remembered once being in a similar room when she was still a student here at Bellefonte--talking to the therapist about her problems. Never did she think she would be back here as an adult--and a therapist, no less.
Everything about the place was well thought out. There was a low wooden table in the middle of the room--to put items like food and such to allow comfort. A long couch and a soft armchair on one side--for her patients, either to lie down or sit up according to their preference--and a round red chair on the other for herself during sessions; not tall and leather which could intimidate the patient. The tall window on one wall was open and the curtains drawn back to allow sunlight in--appearing brighter. Hm... no place to sit there--she made a note to change that.
She was just about to sit down on her spinning chair when someone knocked on the door. That was quick. The doctor looked up. "Yes?"

(couldnt resist...)
The young girl was excited. Which was strange, because she was almost never excited. She knocked on the door rapidly, her cat drapped across her shoulders half dozing. She practicly lept through the door with a brillaint smile on her face.
D-D-D-D-Darc-cy! She cried out, racing over to her and throwing her arms around Darcy's waist, Batman gently poking the doctors nose with a meow. Rylee giggled as she looked up at Darcy, her green eyes glittering.

Smiling, Darcy looked down to see a mess of curly bright green eyes staring back at her. She stroked Rylee's curly brown hair--she always had a soft spot for her. The young girl had become more than just another client when the existence of mutants was revealed. She was one of the few that did not leave.
Still, the doctor had to remain professional--this was her first day, after all. She did not want to blow it by being emotional. "Hello, dear." She led Rylee to the armchair. "Would you like a brownie?"

The young girl leaned up to place a kiss on Darcy's cheek, the kind a child would give to her mother. She was quick to sit down on the red chair, pulling her legs up as Batman lept down and curled up on her lap. Gentle fingers run over the maine coons dark fur.
The mention of a brownie made her excited. Darcy's brownies, in her opinion, where the best. Y-Y-Yes-s-s p-p-p-p-pleas-s-se! She nodded entusiasicly with a grin.

Pouring herself a mug of tea, Darcy asked, "New cat, Rylee?" She took the plate of brownies from her table and held it out to the girl. These were chocolate brownies which she knew gave off happy hormones. This often helped her more fidgety patients.
This is the only way I would ever manipulate another's feelings.
She placed the plate on the table in front of Rylee. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" She had already planned to call the girl in but this worked too. She sat down in the round chair, the mug warming her hands. She took a sip while waiting for her answer.

The young girl rbbed the maine coons ears gently. M-m-m-mu-mum s-s-s-s-says th-th-that-t h-h-he i-i-is-s a t-t-th-ther-r-ap-py c-c-c-at-t. She never minded speaking around Darcy, it was almost like she forgot about her stutter. H-h-h-his-s n-n-n-nam-me is-s B-b-b-bat-t-tman
She took one of the brownies and held it with both hands, nibbling it like a mouse. She grins when asked why she was ehere, swallowing gently. I-I-I-I l-l-l-l-lik-ke s-s-s-seein-ng y-y-y-you

Batman, eh?
How cute. Fitting too what with the cat's tall ears and black fur. Rylee must really like it to name it after one of her favourite comic characters. The doctor remembered the day Tracy Gordon arranged a meeting to discuss how to help her daughter's mental psyche. Pets were known to be comforting.
It's nice that she had good company here. Goodness knows I can't be everywhere--as much as I'd like to.
Darcy's heart warmed at the answer. "I'm always happy to see you too, Rylee." She watched her eat for a while before saying, "So how's the Academy?"

Rylee smiles with crumbed lips at her words before her face fell. She placed her half eaten brownie back on the plate and leans back. She shrugged, lasped into silence. Batman mewed and noticed the shift in her mood, standing in her lap and rubbing his cheek against hers. She rubs his fur slowly, clearly trying not to let her emotions get free

Darcy could not help but frown. The change of emotion was too drastic to go unnoticed--especially by a doctor. Even Batman realized this. The girl did not even finish her brownie. She lowered her mug to her lap, watching as Rylee focused on her pet.
"Is there something you would like to tell me about?" she asked gently. The girl was not like any other patient, she did not have to go through normal protocol.
Still I have to keep a calm demeanor. If I fret, nobody else gets to do so.
The doctor fingered the flower on her ring. She considered manipulating Rylee's hormones--just a tad bit to soothe her but decided against it and waited.

The girl remained silent as her cat pressed its face into hers, a soothing purr rumbling from its chest. Batman meowed, and Rylee ran her now shaking hand along his side. She lowered her head so her crown was directed at Dacry, no noise coming from her. Batman moved to lick her forhead, and the girl swept him into her arms, gripping them tightly.

Silence.
Not a word from the girl. Darcy's heart sank. She thought Rylee could open up to her easily now. After all, they had known each other long before Rylee's manifestation four years ago.
The doctor set her mug on the table between them and approached her. "Hey, you know you can tell me anything, Rylee," she said gently, placing a hand on hers. Carefully, she enhanced the happy hormones around them and pulled back before she overdid it.
