This is the wrong building. She could have sworn the RA said "take a left at Emily, first on your right", and Bella did exactly that, and here she is and the rooms in this place don't even seem to be numbered, it's all letters and names. She's not going to find Intro to Subtle Therapy in Room 206 like that. Maybe the RA meant take a left after Emily, not before Emily? Maybe she was supposed to go the other way around the quad and approach Emily from the other direction? She's going to be late.

And she reads over his shoulder, and with her free hand outlines a plan and priorities for reinventing wizardry.
The person who opens the door definitely notices Fëanáro; she takes a step back out of the room, looks at the doorframe to make sure it is the room she was intending to be walking into, and then steps back in.
"Hello?" she says in Pax.
Fëanáro doesn't yet speak Pax, so he doesn't understand her, but he does hear the voice and jump and clutch the book to his chest to protect it and look for a place he can run to. He would have to dart through her at the door. He freezes instead.
