Facilier didn't do this often, but Renamon was a different case. The girl revered him, looked up to him, had practically thrown herself at his feet when he offered the circus as her home. Okay, so maybe that was an exaggeration, but the main point was, she liked him, almost like Helga did. And anybody who had that kind of respect could be useful.
Helga did have her good points, after all. If he ever needed someone to teach someone some respect, or back him up in argument, Helga could do that for him. Of course, Odette could do that too, but they did have their disagreements on things from time to time. So, Facilier was seeing if Renamon could be useful in that way as well. Plus, he wanted to take a look at her skills. He had gotten a glimpse of what she could do, and he was impressed by it, but he wanted to see more to see where she could fit in an act, which was why he had wanted to meet her in the performance tent.
So, he tapped his cane against the ground, waiting for her. He was early, which happened more often than not. He may be shady in some areas, but he was a pretty punctual man. He glanced at his pocket watch before putting it away again.

Renamon walked into the tent where Falicer was waiting for her. she was happy to see him and it showed through her tail as it wagged happily. "You wanted to see me Master?" Renamon wakled over and kneeled in front of him. Renamon wanted to be part of the circus so she had to figure out what she could do for the act which is what sshe thought this meeting was for.

"Please, please, no need to kneel," said Facilier, waving his hand. "I'm a ringmaster, not a king." Of course, he wouldn't mind being one, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He had business to attend to.
"So, I caught a glimpse of your skills when we first met, and I was impressed," he said. "You're fast, flexible, and have a head for heights." He grinned. "And your unique appearance will be good for ratings." People always did like the bizarre-looking creatures. Renamon was far from the most bizarre-looking thing around, but hey, what could you do? "Of course, that was only a glimpse. I want to see how much you can do, so I know how advanced you are. We wouldn't want to pair you up with an acrobat that's not your level, know what I mean?" He gave his cane a little twirl.

Renamon smiled she was eager to show off her talents. Renamon leapt into the air landing on the tight rope at the top of the tent and swung upside down from her knees. next she jumped off the rope and when she reached the height of the tent she spread her arms and something like diamonds appeared around her as she dived and landed with the diamond like things following. Renamon landed and the diamonds hit the ground then dissapeared Renamon stood up and smiled "That's a little something I can do. I can also move at speeds much fast than a normal human which is why I was such a good thief." Renamon stood there proudly as she waited for his reply

Facilier whistled softly. "Nice." The girl could jump pretty high, had pretty good balance, and those diamond things were a plus, too. She could easily finish a routine with one of those and end on a big bang. That would get the audience going. And if she could move pretty fast, she was sure to stun people if all they could see of her was a yellow blur.
"Hmmm, you are pretty good at this stuff," he said, stroking his chin in thought. "Tigress is the Lead Acrobat in this joint, so if you two paired up, you could do some really cool stuff. And I know she's been helping Jess out with the tightrope walking stuff, so maybe you can get in on that, too. The sooner she can learn the advanced moves, the better."
He chuckled. "A thief, huh? Well, I trust you won't stick to your old ways too much. I've already had two thieves join the circus and one of them can't seem to give it up. He's got some serious kleptomania going on." Renamon didn't seem like the type of person that would steal from other circus members, but then again, looks could be deceiving.

Renamon squeeled in excitement. "Don't worry Dr. Falicer I only stole to take care of myself I wouldn't ever dream of stealing from someone here and I cant wait to start training with the others." this was a new feeling for Renamon she was actually starting to act her age and she liked actually enjoying herself.

Facilier didn't judge too much that Renamon used to steal. After all, you did what you had to do to survive. Of course, he didn't like it when people stole from him, but that was a different mater entirely. At least, it was in his mind.
"Feel free to seek them out during practice. I know they're in here often, perfecting their acts. Which is good. I want my performers to be in top form as much as possible." Facilier had always been that way. He had been known more than once to whack someone with his cane if they messed up during a performance. Or at least shoot them a nasty look.

Renamon nodded "I will search them out Dr. Falicer thank you again. I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't rescued me."

Facilier laughed. "Oh yes, that's me. Rescuing all the homeless in the world." He hadn't meant that offensively, but that was what most of his circus members had turned out to be. Homeless people, rejects, those who had a past, or didn't belong. He knew that some hated being bound here, but there were others who would never leave even if they could. They had become too attached to other people here, or to the circus itself.
He gave a little shrug of his shoulders. "That's all I wanted to ask you, unless you want to pass the time with small talk." Which he didn't mind too much. He enjoyed talking with people every once in a while. And he could see that Renamon would be useful to him later. She was certainly enthusiastic and willing to please.

Renamon smiled at his comment for talk because she hadnt had anyone to talk to other than the animals who didnt really have a choice but to listen. Renamon decided to tell him about some of the past she had. "Well I was left in a dumpster when I was very little and I some how live off rodents like rats and mice, but mostly squirrels. When I was 5 I was taken in by an old lady who had cats all over the place. I didn't know how to speak at the time but when she found out I was more inteligent than her dumb cats she decided to teach me how to speak. I had finally learned to speak her family came to visit, they didn't visit very often. they saw and heard me and they freaked and chased me out after beating me with a stick. After that day I decided to never let myself put my trust into anyone who lived a human life."

"Ouch." It wasn't the most sympathetic of responses, but Facilier had heard stories like this before. And they seemed to become more typical as time went on. Or maybe he just seemed to notice it more. He wasn't sure.
"Well, everyone seems to find their niche here, no matter if they're pretty or weird-looking, social or not, a dancer or a clown. You'll fit in just fine. Trust me on that one." He gave a little grin.

"Yeah I hear yah, I'm sure it's a common enough story, but it's mine." Renamon stared at him for a moment as if she was trying to figure out his past by just looking at him. After a few moments she gave up trying to figure it out herself and just ask him "What's your story?" Renamon cocked her head curiously.

"My story?" Nobody had ever asked so bluntly before. Then again, most people tended to know it once they stuck around the circus long enough. It was just a normal thing that tended to happen. Everyone was always curious about the ringmaster.
"Well, I'm immortal," he said. "Made a deal with a demon, got immortality from him. Wandered around for a number of years with Dongwa, that's my familiar, until I opened up this circus twenty years ago." He shrugged. "There's not too much to tell. Besides, I don't think my life got interesting until after I started this joint."

Renamon grinned at hearing such an interesting devolopment. "Oh that's so cool you get to live forever. So how many people are currently in the cicus?"

"Oh gee, tons. I have a hard time keeping track of them all." He tapped his finger on his chin, thinking for a moment. "There's Stubbs, a clown here, and he's got two adopted kids, Chel and Cielo. They can read minds, so be sure to watch out what they're thinking. They get great amusement at seeing what's in people's heads. There's Giselle. She's another tight rope walker actually. She's a nice kid. Likes to be sweet to everyone. She's been teaching her act to a kid named Arthur, but he has a ways to go."
He rubbed his hand against the back of his neck. "There's also Dimitri. He's a playboy. He'll probably flirt with you at least once. Cornelius is the same. And that's just a few. Walk around here and you're bound to run into somebody interesting."
