The entrance was sparsely populated when she arrived. Those that were within the building already seemed intent on being somewhere else, hurrying up some stairs or down the hall, or out the door just as she was ducking inside; for all her height Parvati was agile and didn't so much as disturb the air around the stranger as they passed one another.

At the front desk she paused, in part due to the serious expression on the receptionist's face as their attention was swiftly garnered.

"Cadet Parvati -- I mean, Atiyeh, here for --" She stammered.
The receptionist didn't respond; they didn't appear to even notice Parvati there at all.

It was another body, arriving quite suddenly beside her, that ushered her away from the desk and down a hallway. The assistant was talking but not to Parvati - the Councilman then, through an earpiece. Before she knew it she was being shown a door.

As Parvati opened it and stepped through, she was welcomed in to a large office space. She didn't look around very much because there was a man there, drawing her attention immediately. Even sitting at his desk he looked tall, broad-shouldered, and more tanned than most of the people Parvati had come across. He could've passed for a distant uncle or something.

"I'm.. I hope I'm in the right place...?"

He said her name, which surprised her a little bit, but it shouldn't have. He looked familiar; plus being newly enlisted, many people were not privy to her name and various details within her file. She would have to get used to being recognized (even in this vague sense). When offered a seat she took it.

The candy in the jar, however, earned a brief glance and a coy dismissal.
"Oh, no thank you. I don't have much of a sweet tooth."

The man was going through some papers on his desk. Parvati watched him, trying to remember if she'd seen him before. Maybe he'd come by the house before she enlisted? He looked young but not quite her age; it was impressive to her that someone could have a position such as his, at his age. Maybe she was misjudging things - he could've just had a youthful face.
