(Author's POV)
"Nor, want to go out for shopping?" Dion recommended when he saw a sulking Nora standing with her head down. He had the power to read emotions and even if he did not have those powers anyone could tell that Nora was hurt and saddened by what had conspired. She must be blaming herself because of what those boomer oldies said about her.
Nora shook her head. She was not in the mood. She has been thinking of calling Myra or her parents but didn't have the courage to do so. So, her mood wasn't all that great to begin with but after the fiasco with Maximus Corbin and Clement Sanders, she could feel her energy was drained out. She was reminded of the times where her adoptive parents used to blame her for small things. James Smith and Clara Smith used to verbally abuse her for being from the orphanage.
Alaric could also see her distressful state. Her shoulders were slumped and her head was lowered as well.
