Modlen's heart started to race a little as she watched the sparks dance across Makoto's fingers. She couldn't help it, she was excited at the prospect of meeting another mutant.

[color=888888][b]"Oh that's so cool!"[/b][/color] she cried, [color=888888][b]"I can't do anything like that, but I've got..."[/b][/color] she trailed off sheepishly. [color=888888][b]"I've got wings."[/b][/color] she admitted, spreading them slightly.

[color=888888][b][i]Of course I have wings,[/i][/b][/color] she berated herself in embarrassment, [color=888888][b][i]They're not that hard to miss! She's not going to think you're some scene kid wearing fake wings if you're coming to a[/i] mutant academy, [i]you dork![/i][/b][/color]

[color=888888][b]"I guess I'm just used to people back home seeing a difference between mutants and metahumans."[/b][/color] Modlen continued, trying not to focus on her internal berating, [color=888888][b]"There's still some people who think metas are more human than mutants where I'm from."[/b][/color]

She looked around, listening to the sounds of activity around them. It sounded like there was some sort of gym class taking place. She was starting to feel warm too. Walking around in a long-sleeved, hooded shirt had the tendency to get a little stuffy after a while. She debated internally for a moment before reaching up and pulling her hood back and rolling up her sleeves, exposing grey skin and black hair but still opting to keep her goggles on. The girl in front of her might have also been a mutant but her eyes had a habit of unsettling people. Reaching back and pulling her long, raven hair out from under her shirt, she removed a hair tie from her pocket and tied her hair back in a single, long ponytail and let it fall between her shoulder blades.

[color=888888][b]"So, are we supposed to wait here for the receptionist or are we allowed to go look for someone if they aren't here?"[/b][/color] Modlen asked. As much as she was enjoying talking to Makoto, Modlen knew she was at that point where she was about to start running out of things to say, and she didn't want to fall into an awkward silence with the only other mutant she had met in her life, not so soon after having just introduced themselves.
