People don't like things that are different and they especially don't like telepaths.
[ esme hasn't ever had to make friends before, she always had her sisters, they were a set. everyone else was mission related, work associates only. reeva wasn't their friend, she barely looked at them like they were people.
so all this is new and slightly terrible and she is faced with this new dilemma of hiding her mutation or possibly/probably alienating everyone around her (except maybe wanda) because no one likes telepaths. she's mentally steeled herself already for james to suddenly remember he has somewhere else to be and bolt, but she can't help hoping maybe he won't care. she made him laugh! maybe that is enough? ]
