"Don't be silly Tori. I wasn't saying to give yourself a beak, you goofy, just to shape the skin of your hands and feet. Only if you wanted to. Don't do it if you're too scared, but if you ever race against Aqua in a swim contest you might want to. And that's all I was saying by beating her." Katie looked a little confused by the girl.
Yes, she was foreign so maybe there was a language issue, but really could the little girl be that out of it? "Um, let's just swim." K'8 said and started off swimming. She was going to get a good workout now that the other girls were gone. She still felt somewhat uncomfortable around some of them and she wasn't sure if they didn't like her but she did get the cold shoulder sometimes. Mostly from the prettier girls.
It might have been because she had a great guy who was sweet and cute and she was not the prettiest girl in school. She did after all have lots of scars from all her years of cutting. Whatever the reason she felt a sense of relief when they left, now if she could just get the little shapeshifter to stop freaking out when she looked at her all would be well.

"No no no no you don't understand!" Torri whined childishly. "I need to think to shape shift, if i think of hands and feet like a duck i think duck! Who knows what happens after that!" She explained, waving her hands in the hopes it made things clearer. “Plus, I don’t like webbed things, they make me think of spiders and I haaaaaaaaaate spiders!” With wide eyes Torri shook her head and looked a little scared for a second, even thinking about spiders made her squirm.
Taking to what D’mnchyld had said and beginning to swim, Shimmer started off on the tale of why she didn’t like spiders. She felt everyone needed to know if the subject came out. It was a fact that she had tried being brave, but she didn’t like it. “I found a spider in the bath once, when I was wee-er. My daddy was there then, he teased me about it and caught the evil little thing with toilet paper and waved it in front of my face. He was a mean about that but he kept telling me I was bigger than it, so I shouldn’t be afraid. But … it had sooo many legs! It was creepy!” After thinking in silence for a second and swimming on her back lightly, the young Acolyte questioned in a high quiet voice.
“What frightens you?” After thinking it over about many people in the school Shimmer found that K8 was one of the nicer students and her thoughts and indeed opinions where very interesting. She liked K8, she wasn’t really chirpy all the time, she was really happy but not the annoying happy. She didn’t seem like someone who had been given everything in her life like Allure, she wasn’t really really happy like Aqua but she was a really nice medium. “You don’t look like anything scares you, like it looks like you had a dog or a cat, from all the scratches. But that’s a good thing, not being scared of cats or dogs. My daddy was afraid of dogs once.” It had become a habit of hers to talk more to people, she was told it was better to be friendly and talk to people. So she enjoyed practising on the other students. Even if they where not too pleased about that idea themselves.

"Ok so don't try it. I see what you mean, being a duck would really kinda suck- hey that rhymed!" K'8 giggled as she swam the breast stroke alongside Shimmer. "I don't know a lot of things are scary, well startling like loud noises or Puppy~Love at an early morning team practice when she has bed head, but no- I think I'm what scares me the most." she looked over at Torri and tried to smile but it went into a frown very quickly.
"My power is scary and I saw what I could become if I'm not careful and that really scared me, so I guess I'm my own worst nightmare." she swam along until they got to the side of the pool and she stopped since they had been talking and swimming for a long time and the sun was creeping down in the sky. "So, I wouldn't mind being a duck... cause to be afraid of yourself, well that really sucks."
She pulled herself out of the water and was very careful not to scrape against the concrete, or cut herself in any way. "Well that was a good swim, huh? What was that, like a couple of hours? Wow the time flew. I'm gonna go in, you coming?" and with that she wrapped the towel around herself and grabbed up her clothes and headed off to the dorms to shower and dress for dinner.

"So ... you scare you? that’s weird. I don't know what your power is but you don't look scary to me. Your kinda pretty, not scary." For Torri having said to someone she didn't find the even the tiniest bit frightening would have when she first arrived been impossible. Over her time at the school she realised how nice everyone really was and that they where no out to hurt her. The younger groups anyway, she wasn't sure if the Hellions where planning on beating her up behind some corner or something. They frightened her.
"I think the only really scary people here are the Hellions. Decibel was nice though, and Stoney is funny. He helps Karma with the littler team. He's really nice. But the rest of them are pure eeeeevil!" She stressed, wide eyed as she watched the New Mutant leaving he pool and getting ready to leave. Not wanting to be alone after today, something made her feel not so safe on her own anymore. "I'm coming!" She said hurriedly while swimming toward the small step ladder to get out. After shaking her hair a little bit and mumbling about it being 'too cold for even ice to like' the tiny Acolyte found her giant towel where she had thrown it from before. Wrapping it around her small body and picking up her other clothes she tried to catch up with D'mnchyld on the way to the dorms so she could get dressed.
