The slight widening of her eyes is the only tell this Zari gives. The totem is supposedly lost forever. Emphasis on supposedly. Zari has never been quite convinced. She knows even a full blown gasp wouldn't be clocked by her parents. They're already gossiping in earnest about Behrad being a pleasure in class.
"Very real. They're my newest baby." Zari reassures Tony sweetly. Some of her authentic voice slips in once she finally addresses the totem situation. "Your daughter is getting those shoes once you explain to us what your connection is to our family totem." Her eyes narrow. Behrad looks ready to sink into the floor. Surprise! He doesn't like conflict. This Zari at least is infinitely more reasonable when looking for answers.
