The rain drummed hard on the roof of the Owlery, little flecks of water splattering in the windows, dewing the owls' wings and Paolo's face and hair. "Sanguis, " she called in a soft voice, and a sleepy hoot answered her. She looked upward, spotting Sanguis near the top of the tower. He stared at her for a few seconds before grumpily fluttering down within reach. Paolo thanked him quietly, tying the letter she held to his leg.
"It's for... you know, him. You know where he is." She stroked her owl gently, as he glared at her. He didn't want to fly in the rain, but she carried him over to the window and tossed him out. Sanguis fluttered a bit, shrieking angrily at Paolo, but eventually gained his balance and glided off.

((Ooh, sorry. *winces* I forgot to say it's not open. Sorry dude, but this one's already all written out on paper, so there's not really room...))

Raphael ran toward the Owlery int he pouring rain. He stumbled into the doorway gasping and huffing for air. He looked up and saw a girl standing at the window pushing and owl out the window. Once he caught his breath he straightened his back sighing heavily since he was drenched from head to toe. He yawned randomly, he needed to get some air back into his lungs.
He pulled a letter out of his soaking wet jacket, he had it tucked in his shirt so it wouldn't get wet, unfortunately it was a little damp. He sighed lightly looking for his owl. A brown owl with a white spotted belly hooted at him. "Hellion," He spoke softly as the owl glided slowly down to him, "I want you to send this to mum. And watch out for her..." He leaned over and whispered to the bird so the girl wouldn't hear him. "Temper." He shook his head tying the letter to it's leg, the girl didn't need to know about that. He watched as the bird hooted and sored out an open window into the rain and disappear.

Paolo turned from the window, where she had been watching Sanguis steadily disappear into the distance, and nearly walked into an unfamiliar boy standing at a window nearby. She must've not heard him enter; the pounding of rain had drowned out his entrance.
"Oh, " she stared harshly and almost curiously at him. "Sorry." She blinked. "I didn't realize you were here."

Raphael gasped when the girl ran into him. He looked at her and smiled awkwardly at her, he didn't know her, he didn't know anyone really, yet.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't realize you were here."
He stared at her and his smiled turned more into a straight line since she was looking rather harshly at him. He took a deep breath contemplating what to do, or better yet, what to say.
"It's quiet alright, luv, didn't mean to be in your way, me." He smiled at her again, he was a little hard to understand, his accent was really strong. He whipped his drenched hair out of his face and nodded at her.

Paolo backed up a little bit. The boy looked a little intimidated, or maybe just awkward. Shrugging a little, she turned for the door, but then paused. She stood for a moment, looking thoughtful, then glanced back at the boy.
"Are you British?"

As the girl turned to leave, Raphael just stared at her for a second, then turned around glancing at an owl perched on a sill sleeping soundly.
"Are you British?"
His right ear twitched, he was expecting her to say nothing really. A drop of water form his hair, dropped on his shoulder as he turned and stared at her for a little bit.
"Yes." He said nodding a little at her. "Why?" He didn't understand why it mattered, but he didn't care really, he was enjoying the company of the girl. Maybe I will finally get to know someone a little. He smiled at the thought staring at the girl.

Tapping her ear, Paolo said, "[maroon]The accent. I was curious.[/maroon]"
She stopped, turning back into the room. "[maroon]I'm Paolo.[/maroon]" She held out a hand.

Raphael stared at her hand a second before doing anything. He blinked then reached his hand out clasping her hand in his shaking it a little.
"Raphael. Raphael Clemins. Terribly nice to meet you, Paolo." He said bringing his hand back to his side. He got annoyed by his accent sometimes, since it was so strong, and girls seemed to swoon him for it, and he was a mini pretty-boy in looke, but he had a kind personality and was fairly intelligent, for an eleven-year-old. He smiled happily at her.

"Yes, nice to meet you as well, " Paolo replied dispassionately,looking distracted. Out of the corner of her eye, she had caught sight of Sanguis returning. Already?...
"Excuse me, " she muttered, crossing to the window where her very wet owl dropped a rain-spattered letter into her hand.
Sanguis flapped away, disgruntled, turning his back on her.
"Where was he?" Paolo asked Sanguis, who merely gave her a tiny twitch of his tail in reply. She shook her head, rolling her eyes, and turned slowly back towards Raphael, muttering quietly to herself.
