Delilah shivered in the rain as she looked up at the pretty, yet slightly menacing building. It had taken her all week to muster up the courage to come her, and all day to walk across the city to get her. She was scared of federal institutions, mostly scared that they wold force her to go back to that horrible apartment and her parents. The hood on her oversized rain jacked fell back as she looked up at the building and rain slid into it, running down over her back and through her feathers. She hastily pulled the hood up again, drying her feathers wasn't exactly a fun experience. Hopefully tonight she would be able to take a real shower for the first time in years, the would be worth the tedious experience of drying her wings. She pressed her wings tighter against her back so they weren't visible through the jacket and lifted a shakey hand to knock firmly on the from door of the large building.

As Melissa made her way upstairs from Weapons Training, she heard a knock on the front door to the orphanage, followed by some faint thoughts that were barely audible. She didn't exactly see the housekeeper around to reply, so she decided to try her hand in the matter. After all, it wasn't tricky to remember what the Housekeeper said on her own arrival - she'd just mimic what she'd said before. Also, she was still slightly paranoid that it could be one of [i]them[/i]...

The door opens to a rather beautiful young girl with black hair and eyes that shone like gems. Her face seemed plain and emotionless, and her stare was slightly blank. She wasn't quite sure how to begin, though decided to start with something simple.

"C-can I help y-you?" She stutters, giving the impression of a rather shy persona.
