Tori knew the shock would show on her face.
She knew, and she hated it.
Even today, mutations could still be horrible, disfiguring, scarring things, and here was living proof of that, and she must feel like shit every time some 'lucky' person with a non-disfiguring quirk showed that mix of surprise and fear flash across their faces. She barley whispered the apology out, but she said it none the less. Did that count? Did she dare say it louder? No. She wouldn't.
"Hi. I'm Tori. We were... Just discussing our quirks. You're..." She tried to pin down the naming. European, for sure. Maybe English? No, it didn't sound right, nor did it sound like mainland European. "You're Scandinavian?" she ventured, hoping that she wouldn't fuck it up and somehow cause more insult.
Yeah, she had noticed that. She may be wearing contact lenses still, but she recognised when someone completely deflated upon seeing something, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that the only person obviously noticeable in the room was her and her wings. Maybe she had just had bad experiences with Avians, but she was still pissed at the girl suddenly turning hostile towards her. @Skepic
