Birth-date || Melody & Leon

[★] ---- Melody twists her face in frustration as she stands on her toes, trying (and failing) to reach a book that sat on the highest shelf of her bookshelf. After spending what felt like several minutes in that position, Melody begins to hop in place in hopes of grabbing the book that way. While her fingers manage to brush lightly against its spine, that’s as far as she can get, and the girl eventually falls back on her heels with an indignant huff. “Ugh... why do bookcases have to be so stupidly tall!?” Or rather, why did she have to be so ridiculously short? She huffs again, rustling the bangs on her forehead. “Looks like I’m gonna need a chair for this...”
Just as she starts to turn away from the bookcase in search of a chair, a knock sounds out from her front door. Not expecting to have any visitors so early in the morning (if at all), Melody ends up starting in alarm at the suddenness of the noise. This in turn leads to the witch tripping over her own feet and stumbling forward awkwardly, her heel landing right on the toes of the Wooly that had been sleeping at the foot of her bed.
The Wooly lets out a loud yelp of pain then, and Melody immediately kneels down and picks him up in a panic. “O-oh no... I’m so sorry, Pippy...!” She stammers out, frantically petting at his leg as she rushes to the door. “I-I didn’t hurt you too badly, did I? Shhh, shhh... it’s gonna be alright, sweetie. I’ll make it all better soon, okay?” Pippy bleats pathetically in response, and Melody holds him close with one arm while she uses the other to pull the door open.
“Yes?” She says, looking up at the person who -- for some reason -- decided to visit her so early in the morning, “How can I he--”
“....Huh? What are you doing here?” Melody’s expression immediately changes into one of confusion when she sees Leon, of all people, standing at her doorstep. So early in the day, at that! Coming into the bathhouse just to annoy her was one thing, but coming to her home was just a whole other level of strange. “Do you know what time it is?”
