Her suspicions were confirmed. The girl before her was simply a faunus with wings as her feature. Well, lesson learned - there is no magic in the world, only cold hard science, and myths are myths for a reason. Nickel did her best to not look disappointed by the revelation.

Wait, now she was being asked what [i]she[/i] is? [color=#C0C0C0]"Not any more rude than me asking you, hah!"[/color] Nickel responded without missing a beat. She was pretty sure she didn't look any different from a regular human, save for the distinct lankiness of her limbs. Was it something about the way she carried herself? No, there was no time to figure it out. Dad has told her to keep the whole "android" deal under wraps for the first little while so she didn't freak anyone out while they were trying to settle into school life. 

[color=#C0C0C0]"Anyway, I know I look like a lanky dude but I'm actually a girl. I just haven't, y'know...started growing in any direction but "up" yet."[/color] Nickel's gaze lowered down even further past Morana's face, finally getting around to taking in the rest of her details beyond her wings. [color=#C0C0C0]"Kinda' exactly the opposite of you, actually! Haha, damn, girl!"[/color]

Step one: feign ignorance, complete. Step two: redirect the conversation. Nickel looked around, noticing the crowd had thinned considerably. Looked like the airships had finished dropping off their passengers. [color=#C0C0C0]"Whoops, looks like I kept you. Sorry. Should we head toward the academy?"[/color] Nickel asked, pointing in the direction of the entrance with her thumb.
