Torri looked up fearfully, her hands shaking at the mans rather booming voice. Pulling her arm from Heathers grip she positioned herself behind her, speaking out quietly in her thick scottish brogue, "a-aye sir, but i do tell you, not many people wish to get to know others, i for one hold strong to that minority."
Keeping her head down she started rubbing her arms furiously, trying to spark off heat but not being able to do anything else. "But a-aye sir, i didn't introduce myself." she added as she turned to start walking away.

Again he cleared his throat. His voice reaching Torri as she walked away. "Alright, we are not starting out on the rigth terms there. If I am to be helping you here. You will have to start talking to me and the others. So I will try this again. Welcome to the Academy. I am Colossus. And you are?" He was standing firm and spoke with authority.

Heather stood there, watching Torri become more and more uncomfortable the longer they stood there. She waited for Torri's shell to open a bit.

Shaking a little more, Torri felt her hands ball into fists in fright. Trying to quell her fear. Lifting her head up she closing her eyes tight she said slowly, "Torri Moore." her voice high and frightened from the man but her will strong. "I apologise for seeming rude." she remarked, turning to face colossus warily.

He smiled wide. He was a large and intimidating man. But when he smiled truely he was like a huge friendly bear. Crossign his arms in front of him he nodded. "A pleasure to meet you Torri Moore, and do not apologize. Just understand that if we are to work together. Yo uhave to be able to talk to me. Besides, your part of my group. So you will be gettign to know me very well." He chuckled deeply showing there was nothing to fear from him.

Torri forced a smile to her face, she wanted to hide behind something that wouldn't show her, but right now that seemed to be only him. She groaned inwardly as he mentioned she was in his group, trying to seem nicer she forced another smile and laughed "yea.......great....."
She looked around again and focused away from colossus, not being rude, but she found everyone intinidating, and her friendships and even respect were hard to come by.

Heather joined in the conversation, trying to make Torri less uncomfortable. "Oh so you are her team leader? I am with Shadowkat, do you know her?" She smiled and looked Colossus.

He smiled and could tell that this one was going to be difficult to get through. but his sister was the same way many years ago. "Yes it will be great. If you give it and me a fair chance little one."
Turning to Heather he grinned and nodded. "Oh yes I know of her. You will have a good time learning with that one. But do your best to stay focused."

Laughing again as he looked ot Heather. His dark eyes meeting hers. "Well now that is a good question. But you will have to wait for a better time. It seems Torri isnt that comfortable yet for me to be showing those kind of things off."

Heather forgot about that. Torri was still very uncomfortable. "Oh right, sorry Torri." She smiled hoping the shy girl would open up more. Heather beleived herself to be very shy, but Torri had a titanium wall up compared to Heather.

Shaking her head lightly, Torri wrapped her arms tightly around herself. She mumbled with slight worry, "It's alright, i shall go. i don't want to hold you two up from talking." she said quietly as she turned to walk away again. She didn't like people, even worse, people determined to befriend her.

Heather frowned, but understood that Torri liked to keep to herself. "Alright if you really want to." She didn't want t bother her and make her more uncomfortable.

The large man just shook his head watching the girl walk off. She was in his group and she wouldnt even spend a minute talking. How was he going ot get through to her.
He looked back to Heather and smiled. "I really hope she opens up. Though im glad you were trying to talk to her."

She winced. "I thought I was a shy person but, she really keeps to herself." She looked to Torri as she left and then back to Colossus. "So now that she isn't here, why do they call you Colossus? I...I mean if you wouldn't mind telling me.
