[ noa startles at the voice so (relatively) close at hand, wings puffing up a little in mild alarm. he turns to look, then, dark eyes very wide. had he been talking to noa? to be honest, the tengu is already incredibly uncomfortable here. it's one thing to be open about what he is in general, just letting people see him.. but like this? in a room full of people? when the whole purpose of the meeting is to talk about what they are and what they can do? honestly, he's been about two seconds from bolting the whole time.
still, there's no need to be impolite. --he doesn't quite smile, but his expression eases slowly, and he offers a polite, brief bow of his head. ]
My name is Noa. It's nice to meet you. [ well, under the circumstances. he hesitates, then gestures toward kitty. ] You're a mutant..? [ he'd taken care to follow all the sticky-note conversations before ultimately deciding to come. he's not quite sure what 'mutant' really means in this context, but he assumes it's something fantastical, like in a manga. ]
