"Alright, Lilith. I'll go. We'll be in the suite if you change your mind." Melanie sighed, hoping that Lilith would hear her through the door. Walking in Espn's direction, Melanie shook her head before calling out to her. "Come on, she needs some breathing room. She'll come out if she needs someone." Even though Melanie didn't like leaving her sister like that, she also knew that it didn't do any good to talk to Lilith in such a state. Lilith didn't need a sister that she didn't know or care to get to know, she needed her best friend.

"The suite is this way. It's probably best if we come in here before anything else happens. Wait. Hold on a sec. You go, I've got something to give to Lilith." She had almost forgotten the package that had arrived earlier this morning. It was from a contact, but right before she had left for training she had found some information inside of it specifically for Lilith. If she had known her sister was back in the house, she would have already handed it over.

"Alright, yell at the bad older sister later, but you've got intel from that informant out of New York. I think he's got an interesting lead for you in the Celestia case. It's not much, but it's something. I'll leave what I have by the door, but I'm getting a call on the secure line in an hour." Setting the package down and walking back to her own door, Melanie let out a sigh before entering.

"That's taken care of. So, what brings you to my happy place?" She asked her friend with a sarcastic smile, throwing herself down on the couch in the living room and motioning for Espn to do the same.

Espn scratched the back of her head and laughed, "If I am being honest I don't remember..." The pain was still nagging at her, emanating from the closed door down the hallway. Actually, it was making Espn feel uncomfortable and she couldn't help but fidget with the locks of her hair and the hem of her dress. It was like she couldn't quite come to terms with abandoning the girl she had yelled at. Of course, her feelings of guilty were fueled by the empathy Espn had. She could also tell her own personal feeling of gratification. There was no need for the girl to talk to her that way, "Maybe I should just go?"

Melanie could tell from where she stood that Espn wasn't comfortable being there anymore. She simply nodded before reaching over to a pad of paper sitting on the counter to write down a phone number. Her number, to be more specific. "Here. Call me later when you feel better and I'll meet you somewhere else, or if Lilith goes out you can come back over here." Handing the small slip over, she walked towards the door.

"I'll walk you down. We'll take the side staircase to avoid any other incidents." The faster that Espn got out of the house, the faster she would feel better. Once they reached the entry way, Melanie opened the door for her, with the heavy wood creaking as it moved.
