Lee allowed himself to be steered along, not at all aware of the gears that turned in the doctor's head. He appreciated the correction, making a mental note that Facilier's country name was not like the ones he was used to, where every one was so simply named as a 'Land of...' whatever personified the country best.

"I will be sure to remember!" Lee beamed. "Thank you for your help! And for the compliment as well!" Not too many people considered Lee impressive until after they saw his skills. It made him all that more determined to not ever be caught lacking in Dr. Facilier's eyes.

Facilier's way of speaking was attention-grabbing, to say the least. Lee was immediately drawn in, his wide eyes widening even further as he listened. Monsters? That wasn't something he was used to; at least, not in the general sense of the word. He had seen demons and he believed in ghosts, but beyond that he was at a loss. He understood that it was Not A Good Thing, however, as the doctor seemed truly bothered by it. It sounded like more elaborate genjutsu, but controlled by someone Lee had never heard of until today.

Someone needed Rock Lee's help. While he was under no obligation to help anyone that the Hokage did not specify, Lee wasn't the type to turn his nose up at an earnest plea.

"Facilier-sensei!" Lee gave a sharp salute, standing as tall as he could and offering the man his most earnest face. "I will indeed help you in any way that I can! As an honorable Konoha-nin with a Spirit of Fire, I will not let you down!" And he meant it. Lee never spoke a word he did not mean with his entire heart and being.
