*melody walks back toward the door to greet her, but stops once she gets closer and notices the cat ears peeking out of her curly hair, her mouth dropping open in surprise. she appears to have a tail, too, and her heartbeat doesn't sound very human either, running at a resting rate twice faster. the contrast of her external calmness and the chaotic drumming inside her unnerves melody, but she gulps down her reservations and responds politely as always.*

i suppose it is! that's my name on the door, melody.
