People certainly seemed less concerned about looks here but it still wasn't easy for her to even imagine walking around without her scarf.

And considering how she'd been kept in hiding her entire life and every single person that saw her nose ran, Penelope wasn't exactly gung-ho about giving it a shot here.

"They may not be," she finally spoke up, voice quiet but firm, "But that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with revealing it. People can be as curious as they'd like."
