( that much is obvious, but wanda has never encountered someone like this before; any of her assumptions would be incorrect, or could give rise to feeling insulted. that's the last thing she wants to do.

I... I've never met someone like you before. ( she can definitely perceive the tick of defensiveness. ) I didn't mean to be rude.

( ...so, )

Is it normal where you're from, to be a shifter?
