Letting the coolness sooth Kory's throat, as she stood opposite of Dick and Victor. It was immensely quiet. Perhaps it was the early rise of the morning. Well, least for one of them. A gentle smile to herself and as if muffling a giggle in her glass. It was a rather eventful night. Kory added the sweet touch to her smile as Dick gave her that cute look, as if he was worried she'd tell the world. With the occasional missing walls, she didn't have to. Offering him the gentle expressive nod. Her eyes trailed to Victor with an extra smile, as if in something she said or perhaps it was in the way. His eyes seemed lighter? Then as her eyes crossed between them, she couldn't help feel some odd feeling of awkwardness. Not just silence. Maybe they just needed to hang out more. Get to know each other better. That was the human way. Right?
Her eyes smiled with her lips. It was a rather fine morning to a much brighter day. The sun. It beamed with great warmth through the glass. Kory's skin soaked as much as she could, but she knew it was just a matter of time before she'd feel it directly. It should make for a smooth going shoot as her little nerves were settling a little bit. Defiantly more excitement. Today was going to be a good day. Kory knew it. Having friends around, well that was a sun all in itself. Was she thinking overly positive? When was she not. This world was spinning and she was alive. Her finger gently danced around the rim of her glass as she placed it down upon the counter.
Eyes moved to dance friendly upon Victor. Following the direction of his eyes ever so faintly. Catching the struggle of his words. Caused a faint dim to her face. Hoping it wasn't all her. Though if he was trying? That was a pleasant thing to see. Maybe just maybe all he needed was time. She couldn't flip any switch he was maybe hoping to find, where her emotions would all of a sudden change and feel what he felt. She wasn't wired that way. She wasn't wired any way like a human. Though it couldn't hurt them to hang out more often. Kory beamed at the thought.
"You look well... Has it been a bit quiet, in Gotham? Do we need to go on a hunting trip again?"
Kory spoke kindly to Victor. It was true he looked well and given his words. Nothing overly bad has happened, but left with the sense of unease. She wasn't sure what it was. Her eyes softened as she spoke of things be too quiet, maybe more lack of Lupin than Gotham, but it felt to Kory as if someone was missing from his life. Hanging with friends generally helped. As Kory played upon the many odd ways Victor and Kory spent time. Generally involved following his nose. It was hopefully helping, whilst being rather enjoyable. Yeah. This was the thing she wasn't so great on, but was trying. The whole secretive stuff and it made it a whole lot heavier when she had to in ways hide anything for Dick, but he'd understand. Right? How many secrets had he made her keep? Though Kory couldn't say what she would do if Dick came out and asked. Kory didn't like lying and she certainly knew she could trust him. For now Kory was just trying to go along with it, without being too confused about it all.
Becoming more relaxed. As she rested her elbows upon the counter. There was that silence still. Faintly trailing Dick. He was thinking several things at once. Kory knew it. She knew him well. Too well? Maybe. She smiled softly to herself. Even catching the slightest frown. Kory as always wished to know exactly what was on his mind, but she felt she could guess. Watched him take another sip, before he responded to her words. He was simple in his words. He was well himself. Kory couldn't help than to smile. For him it was coming from a sweet place. When it came to Dick he wasn't always one for words, but there is also a lot that he doesn't say. He doesn't need to. Kory could feel it. Feel him. Leaned gently in. For her fingers to gently motion towards his chin. Gently brush. It seemed the natural thing to do. Smiling sweetly to him. With great desire to kiss him, but it was always there. Her hand fell shortly after at Victor's words. Her eyes dropped ever so slightly in a shared soft laugh, but not at Dick. Very few knew who he really was and everything they had been through. It was a long time ago since he tripped and fell on her. Or did she pull him? As she half smirked at Dick.
"Xhal!"
Then came an extra beam to her eyes and her smile of course. As Victor complimented on her efforts. It was kind of him to say. As she looked to see him truly enjoying it. It must be the mint. She half giggled to herself. Well, there was plenty more. As she moved through the kitchen to the blender. If Victor needed refilling. He could indeed be very charming.
"Thank-you Victor. Here, would you like some more? I added extra mint... Now its been a while since I've modelled..."
As Kory motioned the jug as she offered. Kindly and sweetly thanked him. He made it easy for her to be herself, but Kory naturally found it hard to be anyone but herself. Though he allowed extra positiveness from her. Although he did not make her feel the same amount of emotions as Dick did. Winking softly at the mentioning of mint. Before shortly stepping back as Kory found her voice upon the actually reason Victor was here, what she may of been stalling ever so slightly, but mostly she was excited. It was very true, her words. At least a year, maybe more. It was hard to really know between time and space. Would it just come back naturally? She couldn't know until she tried. Kory then motioned out of the kitchen. To the side Victor and Dick were sitting. Her hand tangled between the ties of her robe.
"Do you think this be good to start with? I have others."
In the normal natural speed, Kory untied her robe. To reveal her purple bikini underneath and the general amount of skin. Kory was clearly comfortable with a lot less. So it wasn't always easy to know when she over did it. It was not entirely a direct question to one, but rather to both. As her eyes trailed between them, then to the bikini. It seemed to work for her, but a second or third opinion could hurt.

Dick narrowed his eyes over Victor laughing at how he responded. He was more concerned over other things going on lately than he was on trying to put thoughts into words at the moment. Besides, Kory didn't need to hear him speak his thoughts over what ever she did. She knew how he felt.
He sat silently sipping at his drink. He let is slide. His eyes watched Kory as she moved.
And he heard her words. And at seeing her. He was a bit silent. The question seemed directed at Victor so he never really left it at that.
His eyes though scanned her over of course. And she would know she had gotten his attention over all of course.
But the a little bit of jealously was brewing over a bit of this. Something he wasn't going to show. Kory was a model and that was what she did.
"To start with? Planning on quite a few more," Dick asked out of curiosity.

It was true abit of jealousy was messing with Victor's head. After all It was now clear that Kory and Dick had..... Well they had...... No they couldn't have. They just couldn't have. He looked into his smoothy. Another thing messing with him was the lack of Lupin. For so long he had the mental voice of Lupin in his head. But since loosing his long time companion There has just been something missing. But Victor wasn't going to bring this up.. he wasn't going to talk about any of this. He would have to eventually. But not now he didn't want to ruin Kory's first day back at modelling.
He looked over at the jug and thought about her offer. He was tempted to take her up on her offer for another smoothy but decided against it. He didn't want to give her enough time to get old feet. It worked for him when he was getting used to teaching i front of a class so he figured that it would work for her. After all she may have been alien but she was still human like in someways. "No thank you.... Maybe later?" He said politely leaving it open for him to get another one later. Of course if she batted her eyelids at him then it would be possibly that he would just cave and ask for another glass.
He brought the drink back up to his mouth and put the straw back into his mouth and started to take a sip as Kory made her way around by the two of the guys. He looked over to Kory so she could see what she would be wearing. He expected her to wear something breathtaking but when he saw what she was wearing he found himself at a loss for words. He stopped sipping out of the smoothy and held a mouth full. He looked at her somewhat shocked after a second he swallowed the mouth full and nodded. Eventually he managed to find his voice. "Uhhh..... It looks good." He said nervously.

Oh, they defiantly covered several things last night. Kory could humbly recall, but she was joyed simply to greet the day. Though sure, she could feel perhaps Victor realising. Dick held more than just a special place. Kory didn't like seeing friends hurt or in pain, but Kory couldn't deny what she felt. Catching the small expressions Dick made. Making her smile. He was maybe not perfect, but he was everything to her. Daydreaming a little? Her eyes trailed over him, knowing exactly where every scar was. He almost had a new one, but he… At Victor's polite refusal. Kory kindly took the jug back with a friendly nod and a sweet smile.
"Of course… Just help yourself when you like."
Placing the jug back down in its place. Offering that seemed rather natural to her. Victor he at least had his sweet nature going for him. It was nice to be around him. Kory wasn't going to deny that. Eventually leaving the kitchen and took to revealing her bikini underneath. As of course she valued Dick's opinion as always. Her cheeks coloured lightly, though it was very rare when he didn't flatter her. Even if it was in the smallest words. Watching Dick notice, sure was nice to know she could still divert his attention. Standing there openly as she did, didn't feel uncomfortable. It was just some exposed skin. At Dick's words, which suggested a lot. Eventually slipping her arms free of the robe. Moved in closer and placed the robe on the table. Feeling less the need for it now.
"Hopefully not, I just need a few extra shots today. Like Donna always told me, to always have options… So, you don't think I should start with this one?"
Calmly and honesty Kory stated to Dick. She hadn't planned on doing a lot of outfit changes, but she needed options incase some just didn't work so well on the camera. Though it seemed in tack and in place. Kory's hand lightly traced the fabric. Not entirely sure if Dick was meaning more in what he said. He was still human and a lot of times say something, but mean something entirely different. Looking to him curiously as she asked and stood comfortably close to him. In which case, she was sure he'd more than happy to help her pick out another one. Before assuming Dick was more questioning out of curious if it would take the so called relaxing time away from them. As it was those times didn't come often.
"I assure you we'll sunbath today, if thats what your wondering about… Dick doesn't get a lot of time off. And your very much deserving of it…"
That seemed the simplest way and still it was very true. As Kory mentioned Dick working hard, to Victor. She had no place in telling him exactly why, only that he deserved more than Dick ever asked for or felt he needed. It was a honourable quality, but it sure made it fun for Kory to offer him a peace of mind. Very sweetly and innocently Kory motioned to kiss him lightly on the cheek. It seemed harmless, although it meant a little more than her usual loving affections towards her friends. They did all have a wonderful place in her heart, which Kory would do anything to protect. Joyfully smiling. It was a beautiful day. Before Kory caught Victor's compliment. It was simply amusing, he was still nervous. Somewhat proud he did find his words. He's was getting braver in opening up. It was a beautiful thing. It seemed hard to do, but once you've done it, you find it is one of the best ways to live. For Kory it was just natural.
"Thank-you… I felt it was quite classy and plus I adore the colour purple. So how can I lose!… "
With great warmth Kory responded and of course in her sweet kind way. She had felt very positive about the bikini, yes a hint of sarcasm. She was quite the confident kind, so sometimes it was hard to know what was acceptable. Not that she'd always abide by it, Kory still needed to be herself. In everything that she does. As much as Kory could try to fit in with the humans. Kory would always be a tamaranean and she'd prefer not to hide it. Kory took pride in who and what she was. The rules on this planet made it tough sometimes and many that still didn't sit well with her…
"You know I could always use more guidance in Bludhaven, if you needed the practise? What should it be this time?"
In Kory's way referring to Victor's sense of smell of course and their many trips so far. To help refine his nose of course. Thinking maybe that might cheer him up, if he needed it and Kory could always use more time with friends. When the time wasn't spent with the Titans of course. It was maybe overstating or hinting. As if Kory could even get lost in Bludhaven. Given her talent in flying, but yes the day out would always be fun. It was always fun watching Victor follow his nose. What could they sniff out this time. Surely one couldn't be sick of pies.

"I never said to not go and do it. I have no sense in fashion and you are a model," Dick replied. "I'm just here for support, not input."
He'd keep out of it. He may be defensive and a bit protective of her. But it wasn't his say. Kory could do what she wanted to. And besides, some of the stuff she came up with to wear, he rather found her more so attractive. Though it really wasn't the cloths that made her attractive. She just made what she was wearing more interesting.
"Hard to get time off with work and all. And who said anything about sunbathing," Dick asked. Challenging her in a joking way. As if to say, since when did I hand my schedule over to you to plan.
He couldn't take his eyes off Kory. His mind more alert now. But remembering that Victor was there. And Victor by far was a stranger to the way of how Dick and Kory often carried on around their friends. And right now Dick was being a little more closed off.
Holding off on the comments that he would most likely being making to the conversation had it been Roy or Beast Boy there.
Victor was an unwelcomed visitor in his books at this time. Constantly challenging him. But Dick had nothing to worry about. He knew he didn't.

Victor nodded politely when Kory said that he could help himself to another smoothie when ever he'd like. It was entirely likely that he was going to get at least one more glass full by the time he left. After all Kory made the smoothies.
As Kory spoke to Dick about her bathing suit Victor's mind was racing. 'Why does he have to be here? Why now? They couldn't have. They did!' Where the thoughts running through his mind at the moment. Now more then ever he was wishing that Lupin was still with him. If he was then it was likely that the mental wolf would have had some words of encouragement to help Victor get through all of this. But at the moment he was on his own.
When Kory mentioned that this time off was rare for Dick Victor had multiple reactions. Inwardly Victor tensed 'Sure he doesn't.' He thought dryly. Outwardly Victor nodded. "I understand. I'll try not to take up too much time." He said with a kind smile. It may have been a forced smile but Victor was good enough at acting to hide the forced part. He was also trying to figure out what they could have possibly meant by 'sunbathing' did they really mean sunbathing or was that code for something?
"Well I think it looks great on you." Victor said after Kory spoke about why she picked the bathing suit she did. It was clear that he was still somewhat nervous around her but he was getting better.
Victor chuckled when she asked if he needed more practice. "I could always use more practice." A smile crossed his face as he thought of something that could possibly mess with Dick. And right now Victor would do anything to mess with Dick. "The candles were nice that night. And I remember there being alot of whipped cream." He said vaguely. "Maybe next time we could mix it up and use candy or some kinda lotion? Or maybe some oils?" He offered hoping stronger then he ever had before that he was starting to make Dick's mind race the same way his was now.

Of course he couldn't be sweeter, why try and hide it. Kory smiled softly. It was defiantly encouraging that Dick was here. Was there a sense of protection. Of course. He was always someones hero. Fingers lightly played at his shoulder at his notion he did not know fashion. Looking over at him, she wasn't sure if that completely true. Although what he made her feel was certainly above any item of clothes. As her eyes trailed down his skin and started to lose her train of thought. Before clearing her throat in regaining her senses. Her eyes trailed to Dick more playfully.
"Well, I'm not sure about you, but I'm rather fond of your trademarks, Dick… That is very sweet… No input? So you don't want to help me with the next bikini… Who knows they might start biting me?"
Kory sweetly complimented in response to Dick mentioning he had no sense. It was Dick himself that had made a point of calling them his trademarks. As smiled kindly as her finger gently motioned along his shoulder. Of course she was meaning overall. She was not protesting to what he was wearing or not wearing right now. Yes, she was very fond. As she playfully eyed his skin. It was better than fashion. Whatever it was made her pulse tighten… Kory sure loved his support, but no input? No fun? As Kory played upon the words to him out loud. Somehow Kory would assume naturally he would find that difficult to turn down. Looking to him playfully as she choked, though if the bikinis did start attacking. She wasn't sure she'd be surprised, it least would make things more interesting. Kory listened interested as Dick mentioned work. Her fingers had strayed to his hair lightly as if a small gesture of comfort. Of understanding of just how much that was true. At his question Kory had to playfully roll her eyes, the sign his sense of humour was still there and also his quick sense no doubt.
"Maybe your boss and I, need a little heart to heart… You said you wanted to spend time with me and I said I was going to sunbath today. I just naturally put the two together… Why am I wrong? You don't have to join me."
Lightly jokingly Kory suggested in regards to Dick's 'Boss', in most cases it was him as she knew how difficult he was sometimes, but she knew some ways around it. Like the heart to heart last night. Naturally as she was talking half found herself on Dick's lap. He was very comfy. Giving him innocent looks in regards to the sunbathing. It seemed the more safer example she could of said at the time without throwing to much for Victor to play with she didn't know if Victor knew who Dick really was, though sunbathing wasn't code. Kory was set in sunbathing and it was something she did very often. Of course she hadn't meant to drag Dick into it, just assuming he would. She was sure there were other activities such as training and working. As her mind worked sunbathing would ultimately make her stronger for work, especially with what power she used last night. A recharge was defiantly on her cards. Or on her table. Or on his chest. Eyes. Kory bumped herself with a silent giggle. Then helped as Victor's voice broke through. Oh no. Kory shook her head at once. That hadn't what she meant.
"No… I didn't mean… I wasn't suggesting. Please don't rush, Victor. When I said your welcome here I meant it…"
It was completely off from anything she had meant, but Kory felt bad for making Victor feel unwanted. He was a friend. Someone she did care about. If anything Dick had to wait, Kory was merely trying to make conversation. Surely they could be friends. As Kory half jumped up in her seating. Assuring Victor that he was indeed welcome here. He could take his time. It probably wouldn't happen often him visiting Bludhaven. So she was more than appreciative of him being here for sure. It was defiantly good to see him and looking rather well. Then she was hit with another compliment. He was very polite. It was very sweet. As she beamed to hear it. She wasn't the overly vain kind, but of course hearing such things was pleasant to take. It defiantly gave confidence in her choice.
"Thank-you, Victor. Then I guess this be the chosen one. Or one for now!"
Kory kindly adding the gratitude with her words. As she tempted a quote, but who was she kidding. She was the last one on Earth keeping up with how things rolled around here, beside how the plant orbits. Though it didn't stop Kory was trying. Giving up just wasn't in her DNA. As she added her general giggles. It defiantly was the perfect fit for now, she had settled with. At the sound of his chuckle, it defiantly made Kory more at ease. Was a much familiar sound now. Softly laughing in his response. Of course more practise never hurt. Plus they were generally enjoyable as Victor enlightened upon the past practised they had done.
"They were, I always have candles going, they give an extra special touch… I think I almost had cream coming out of my ears at one point. It was very messy, but delicious… I defiantly put my hand up for more candy. Popcorn! I think we need to make things more challenging… What about the cinemas? Could make things little more difficult, but we should defiantly try it there… You should come too, Dick. Always more fun with a group."
Kory happily responded as she felt they were lightly talking in code of his nose skills. Smiling happily Victor enjoyed the candles, recalling he felt they were quite strong before, but perhaps its settled down. After all there was always candles in her home, not lit in day, but mostly at night when she was here. The last thing she wanted to do was create an unexpected fire. Laughing at the cream bit, as messy as it was, it sure was fun. All those pies. Kory was surprised she wanted to see another pie after that. Kory considered the lotions and oils, but seemed less eatable. She was sure they'd seen enough candy, given her candy themed party more or less. Popcorn sprung to mind and apparently out loud on her tongue. She thinks out loud, it happens often. Which led to the Cinema suggestion. They had stuck on practising certain objects, Kory felt Victor was ready to advance. There were more options at the cinemas. Not to mention the fun atmosphere. Sure it was public, but that could be work in their favour. At some point Victor is going to have use his nose in public situations and more than likely without her. Seemed a win. Win. Of course watching a movie was a plus. It could be a fun trip and naturally Kory invited Dick. It be rude not to include him, given she was close he could push her, even though she was stronger than him. Plus it could give Victor and Dick more chances to become friends. Least hang out. Then there was the working around the fact Dick didn't know Victor's gift, Dick could be trusted Kory had no doubt, but it was Victor's wish. So, they could just play it as him thinking he's physic. Kory was sure it work. It would be a joyous event.

"I'm sure it won't take all day. Besides, Kor knows what she is doing when it comes to modeling," Dick commented.
Ok, so maybe the comment was a bit double edged. But the guy was giving him a bit of reason to comment the way he did. But in truth, Kory was good at her job.
"That depends on how many more you have though," Dick commented. Knowing the trouble the two of them could get into if they lost focus.
He noticed her getting closer and playing with his hair. Ok, maybe her mind was now showing less interesting in the shoot. Not that Dick was objecting to this. But Victor was still standing there.
"I never said I won't join you. Just seems you want control of my schedule today," Dick commented. And he wasn't arguing over her wanting to either.
Dick sat back a moment, lost between the two now talking. And Kory apologizing over making Victor feel unwelcomed. Which he was in Dick's case. Not that he would say that to Kory flat out. But the guy bugged him. Just the way he acted around the two of them.
At the conversation between the two, Dick felt sidelined at the moment. Annoyed by Victor being there. But happy for Kory to be getting back into modeling. He didn't want to tie her down. She needed to keep active in society, And she definitely had the body to show off.
But at Victor's words and how he was saying it. Wait....What? What were they talking about?! Ok, now he was just getting confused,
Sure Kory and him were together. But just what was going on with these two. And then Kory made a suggestion of them all going out to the movie. The last thing Dick wanted to do was spend time with Victor.
But as the conversation went on, Dick knew he had no reason to worry. But what was Kory going on about. Victor was saying one things. And it was clear to him Kory was saying another. But really?
Dick jumped up slightly from his seat. He was done with this conversation. He had no idea what was going on between the two. But he knew Kory. But Victor was just being weird.
"Whoa, no one said anything about going to the movies together. I mean it's different if it were a double date situation," Dick started to speak. But he was just tripping over his own thoughts put into words.
He was slightly annoyed by this secret way everyone was talking to each other in it seemed. He looked at Kory and grabbed a hold of her arm. "Kory can we talk for a minute," Dick asked in a more hushed tone.
He wanted to know just what was going on. Victor was implying one thing and Kory another. But either way the plans did not sound good either way.

Victor smiled and started to feel like he was doing better then Dick when Kory turned to him and started to thank him. Finally she was talking to him and not Dick. And she wasn't in his damn lap anymore. After all Victor was positive that his lap was way better then that..... that...... that guy's.
He started thinking quickly trying to find something to say that would really get under Dick's skin before Kory mentioned them going to the theater together. He stood up from the stool he was in. Almost in sync with Dick. 'Hell no am I gonna hang with that..... that........ that guy.' He thought as Dick spoke. I'm not gonna go to the movies with him." He said with a tone of disbelief before widening his eyes realizing he had said that out loud. He looked at the two his mind working overtime."I mean..... Ya know... If we made it a double date then...." He paused trying to think of what to say. 'He'd steal her too!' Was all he could think. "Ya know........I'm gonna go get another smoothie." He said as he shuffled into the kitchen.
Due to his enhanced hearing Victor heard Dick whisper in a hushed tone. But he didn't say anything instead he just kept working at getting a smoothie. When he looked back and saw Dick holding her arm he started to squeeze the handle on the pitcher with a white knuckle grip. 'Come one Victor count to three.... One...... Two..... Three..... Its not working.' He thought to himself as he finished pouring the drink and set the pitcher down. He started counting again as he sipped the smoothie resisting the urge to do something drastic and quite possibly make an awkward moment even more so.

The seating had been amongst the natural way of moving. So her position hadn't taken overly heavy as she half sat on his leg. It hadn't been intentional in anyway. Her eyes had lingered easily and rather her friendly self between the two boys. Yes, boys. She really sure if the extra purpose in their stares were really directed at her. There was something, she could understand it coming from Victor. The step he had taken wasn't an easy one, she should know. Just at first she thought Dick was talking to her, but apparently Victor. Wow. He had so much faith in her it seemed. She smiled. Then that was no surprise, really was it?
"I do?"
In her undertone she asked with her smile very much following. With her inner thought,'Sweet'. With the added hint of laughter, but it wasn't of comedy, but of joy. Her fingers toyed naturally in through her own hair, just a little preparation and overly she was feeling mighty comfortable in her appearance thus far. Not overly one to shove it ones face, but this was the only body she had. She had to work with what her planet blessed her with. Warmly her attention was brought back as Dick was being more direct with her. How direct was he wanting to be? Least he was still somewhere with her. She smiled softly. Her fingers of course continued a light assault on his hair. A gentle motion at his head.
"Enough, I would hope. Just because I know how fond you are of them."
Kory lightly joked. As if Dick was making it sound he wanted to see more bikinis. He was the one that informed her the reasoning for them, otherwise she would have gone rather bare and there be more eyes to adjust. He was rather sweet in his explanation. Trying to help make her fit in a world, Kory wasn't so sure why she had to try and fit. What was there to fix? Though light pointing out the guys needed fixing not so much her, made it well easier to take. In all the changes she did do, was most likely done to Dick asking of her. She trusted him. There was little she wouldn't do. At his next comment. She softly giggled in his ear. Her fingers through his hair, moved to his bare chest. Again natural reaction. He was going to be dancing around this for a while. Yes? Her eyes looked to him searching for how that was a possible yes.
"Maybe a little… Just a little bit of your time."
How could she completely deny that? Kory replied innocently, but much with the kindness in her way saying that it was not from any place of force. Just as she playfully expressed little with her fingers. If she didn't. If she didn't voice it. Then how often would she exactly see him and to give him the chances to breathe, when it was clear he was forgetting to do. It really didn't matter what, as long as he was enjoying what they were doing and the most important doing it together… There was the small hint of withdrawn, as Kory made a way to apologise if she had made Victor unwelcome. The last thing she needed to do was show any rudeness. He had never shown it to her or any reason not to trust him. No way around it, her honest nature always sort it out of others. At least there a smile to her words. She felt the honesty in it, that he had taken her words to heart. Hopefully he was on his way to feeling a little better. At least welcomed. It was a natural thought that Dick may be confused at their talk. Kory thought they had done it playfully enough that it wouldn't hinder ill thoughts. It was innocent. Given all Dick's speeches on secrets, she would think he'd understand. Maybe if he got more friendlier with Victor, then it wouldn't have to be a secret. Though really how was a secret helping someone out in a positive way, was an overly bad thing. Then it was still a secret and in that Kory took little joy from. Suddenly with very very little warning. Her seat was gone.
"What the… X'hal?"
Kory cursed lightly, there was a more telling curse hidden under her breath, but no humans would know of her tamaranean native, though Dick might. Trying to gather what had just happened, without being completely thrown to the floor. Stopping herself just in time and stumbled to her feet. He just pushed her? Kory blinked away the swirling stars. She wasn't angry in anyway, just more taken very far back as to why it had just happened. It clearly wasn't intentional as she continued to blink in his direction. With a rather amused expression and slightly less in colour. That wasn't her best moment. Her hand rubbed her head a little. That's when the words began. All at once. There was a lot of emotion going with them as well. What? As Kory looked to Dick and Victor. Date?
"X'hal… Hold up! Firstly I never said anything about a date. It is only a film and hopefully a lot of blown up corn. I thought it was something friends do together. Then maybe that was why Gar was so excited, it still was enjoyable. Especially when the Jaffa fight started between Gar and Victor. There were Jaffas everywhere…"
Kory was adamant that going to the movies was a friends thing. Ok sometimes a date, but there were countless times the titans had. Whether at the cinemas or on the couch in the tower. Looking to them both as she wasn't sure what this elevated emotion was really meant for. This was far more innocent in her mind it seemed. Even if 'date' was why Gar had agreed or not. It was enjoyable. Along with Victor. As she went on telling of how it went, Kory began laughing as her hands expressed all the Jaffas bouncing off of Victor. Then it was a be there kind of moment. Ok. Kory lightly thought and nodded with at Victor mentioning the smoothie. That was when Dick broke space and took to her arm. His eyes dead in hers. That there was more going on than she knew.
"Secondly, you know a date would require us to be dating?… Aren't we already? Oh, you mean… Sure. We can talk in my room."
Making the time to point out to him date would suggest their dating. Officially. Of course it was more of the way as she paused whether he was going to admit they were and make it official. Was he her boyfriend? It would insist on a whole lot more cuddles. Ok. So perhaps the excitement of him confessing to it, was maybe distracting her a little from what was bothering him. Not that she wasn't seeing it. Questioning that weren't they already speaking. Though looking more. He was maybe trying to open up and she could respect that fact he wasn't so open as she was. As her eyes revealed hopefully knowing what he meant, to talk more in private. Offering him a sweet smile. Feeling the hold was more his way of need. It was a simple reaction… There was the sounds in the kitchen. Turning for that moment from Dick to Victor.
"I'll just be a moment and then we can start if you want… Wait… Victor, Are you ok?" As Kory said kindly to Victor. Not to make him feel unwelcome again or in anywhere near it. Adding a smile as she mentioned they could start the photo shoot afterwards. Not knowing what it was exactly, but Kory could guess it shouldn't take too long. Though even as Kory thought about moving to her room. She caught sight of his hand. The way his chest was rising. Tightening his grip. The way he stared. Kory asked with concern. Was this the wolf thing he had said. Was it trying to take control. Her eyes followed his to where's Dick hand was. Was it jealousy or need to protect? Kory believed either way was from a good place and it show strength he was holding it back. Though was that always a good thing. What happens when you can't hold it back any longer.

Dick caught what Victor had said. So the guy did really hate him for reasons. Reasons only Dick could figure as jealousy over Kory.
He let it slide for now. But had caught Kory off guard by accident. A slight look of sorry to her over his sudden movement and dis seating her.
At Kory's words, he knew she was talking about their friends the Titans and not this Victor standing before him. Unwelcomed and unwanted here at the moment. This situation was just getting all the more awkward as the conversation went on between them all.
"Kor..," Dick started before he then swallowed his words.
He was a bit taken back that Kory would say such a thing. Hadn't they already been going out places. And doing things together. To many words need to be put out there. And label such a situation or status. Maybe things were different in the mind of women when it came to dating.
But wouldn't being over like this and going out to placed together already suggest that they were together?
He let Kory speak to Victor that moment. Noticing the anger Victor seemed to have over the situation. He was half tempted to tell Kory to let Victor just settle down for a moment.
"I think there it more to it than being ok," Dick grumbled over the situation.
This was getting really annoying. This reminded him of the times when he and Roy would stand off against each other at times. But that had passed between friends. But Victor was more a threat than a friend at that time. It almost seemed to be a dominance thing going on here.

Victor felt somewhat embarrassed at his reaction and was in effect trying to hide his face behind the smoothie. He had never done that before. This was also another point he was wishing he had Lupin wit him. If he had Lupin he would be getting advice on how to handle this as well as he abit more in control of himself.
He started to relax as Kory spoke about the not-date. Victor tried to calm himself down as he started feeling an urge to try and get under Dick's skin. He guessed that part of the reason he was feeling something close to anger towards Dick was because of his relatively recent encounter that had caused him Lupin and he hadn't been able to talk to anyone about it. He was partly hoping to talk to Kory about it when he showed up today but now that Dick was hear he didn't want to let him know about it. That was when he heard Kory's question. "I'm fine. Don't worry." He said putting a smile up on his face. "Thanks for asking though."

Was there any difference? In putting Vic and Dick in a dark lit cinema room than where they are at now. As Kory blinked the last few stars as she looked between them at the tension and she just couldn't see why. Throwing her out of the middle, what was really between them? They were both honourable men. Kory could see it. Even with eyes closed. There came the reassuring gesture. As Kory met Dick's eyes, it was a moment kind of thing. She understood, there was nothing hurt by it. If anything it just surprised her a little bit. In which now she laughed a little, before adding a smiled and her finger gently ran across his cheek bone. He had more pressing concerns that a tamaranean coming after him. As her eyes caught the glares. The death stares. Really who was going to explode first? So maybe honourable, but they left out gentle, maybe?
Ok, so that wasn't entirely what she had expected. In Dick's reaction. To see the hurt in his eyes. Not to mention in his voice. She could feel he felt much differently and in someway Kory found it very sweet. Even if it took him so much to say what was in his mind let alone his heart. It wasn't entirely things were different because she was a woman, because Kory wasn't a woman given she wasn't human, she simply wanted something real. Up until now everything, even last night was mostly because they were having fun and she had no problem with that. She agreed to take it slow and take what she could get, but it was getting more than that. Oh maybe it was some inner girl thing, but mostly it was nice to hear what she already knew or felt. If anything to know what he wanted was what she wanted. Her hand fell upon his arm. A finger lightly traced up and down the inner side, tracing to the inside of his hand. She really hadn't meant to say in any cruel way or ill intent nor trying to trap him any which way, She just wanted to hear the honest.
"Don't get discouraged… Dick, would you like to go on a date with me?"
Kory spoke kindly as she looked up to his eyes. She asked it quietly. Yes. This wasn't the greatest time and she hadn't wanted to do this with Victor here, but the moment came. Hopefully Victor wasn't overhearing too much. It was just an innocent chance she took as finger lightly danced upon the palm of Dick's hand. He knew she hadn't meant to hurt him, he had to of know that. She knew he had been thinking it, really did he object to referring her as his girlfriend. Not as if anything would overly change, save maybe more affection. Kory just took the chance and hoped for the best as she sweetly smiled to him. Before lightly pouting to his sadder reaction, hoping she had cheered him up enough.
"Of course this doesn't have to be the date we go on and you don't have to come… I'm sure Victor and myself can entertain ourselves. Right? I assume we'll be lost in the darkness and all the loud screams, if it gets hefty you might just need to hold me… So what should we go see? How about this Indy? Will he be there?"
Kory added that going to the cinemas with Vic, didn't have to be the date and if Dick really didn't want to come, then he didn't have it. She just offered him the invite if he wanted to. After all it was just the cinemas. As she mentioned Victor and herself, she picked up her voice enough now that Victor heard her. As she then spoke more directly at him and moved closer to kitchen bench. For some reason she was imagining some horror film, thus the screams she mentioned. The holding part was more of a joke and she lightly laughed. Given not much scares her, so she might just need to hold Victor if he starts getting scared. At that she wasn't even sure what was at the cinemas these days. As her eyes looked to his Fedora hat as he mentioned the film back at her party and that he'd show her it sometime. As she kindly smiled and asked if they might see him at the cinemas. He sure looked a lot of fun. Though looked over. He was missing something.
"Just don't forget the whip, next time?"
Kory lightly asked, recalling the whip moment back at her party. No it hadn't been her best moment, but maybe he practise his scent skills. Kory could practise the whip skills. Oh. Maybe not at the cinemas. She re thought, that might be dangerous and they'd just get thrown out. Given their such rebels. Smiling warmly hopefully looking for the peace in the group. To see Victor smile a little more again. Rather than the one he was trying to put on. As Kory turned to Dick as he spoke on behalf of Victor.
"What are you talking about? Maybe you both need to have a little more faith in people. They might just surprise you."
Kory questioned at the words she had managed to catch. The annoyance was clear. Oddly in both. Victor's was more understandable, but he was here and trying. Dick was least still here. Kory could see the good in each of them and as she said it, maybe all they needed was faith or simply an open mind. There was more to Dick than Kory was sure Victor was seeing, just as there was more to Victor than what Dick was seeing. Then Victor's words cut through. Again. He was trying and he was still her friend. Of course. Kory smiled warmly even if he was finding it hard to, she was happy he was here. More than happy. He was good company.
"I don't have to remind you to breathe, you know like last time? Just in case, Down Boy! Did that help?… Do you want to go talk, now?"
Kory asked not overly loud, but not at a whisper. Referring to the Wulfen, the canine side however Victor put it. The inner beast, seemed correct in Kory's mind. As she hinted about last time, but not wanting of course to spill his secret to Dick if Victor didn't want him to know. At the restraint in his hands and the look in his eyes. Kory couldn't help at least say down boy. It helped last time, at least Kory hoped it did. Smiled innocently hopefully if he needed it now, it helped now. He did seem calmer once he heard her voice, maybe that was all he needed. Kory was feeling the hint of being torn, but she turned back to Dick as she sweetly asked. As her hand pointed to her bedroom. Was it really just talking? As Kory half looked to him as if he was going to try some naughty. Well, more than being topless. As her hand instantly moved to his bare pecks. Her knees still felt weak and slightly buckling beneath her, but she'd manage to stay up right.

Dick was tense now. There was a stand off between him and everyone else in the room. He reserved himself. Kept away from others for a reason.
He only opened up to certain people. Kory being one of them. Probably the only one this close to him in a while. He kept his circle of his closest friends small, but it was hard for him to not have a lot of friends with the people he met.
Kory knew this as well. AS this was what made him such a strong leader. He knew how to adjust to things when situations became difficult.
With Kory's slightly whispered words to Victor, Dick avoid eyes contact with either of them. But he was alter and watching. He always was. And he rather get out of this situation without causing any form of an argument starting up.
At Kory's words and hand motion to him. Dick took her other hand in his and walked to her room with her. Once in there he closed the door most of the way. He wasn't going to get overly excited in his words. He just wanted to know what was going on.
He let go of her hand and walked away a bit of distance. Rubbing his head the way he did when he was frustrated and confused.
"Kory, were you and Victor at any point together? I just can't shake this feeling of what he is trying to suggest," Dick said.
He turned back to her. His eyes filled with regret over bring this up. There was fear in them, Fear he was going to upset Kory with his questioning on a subject like this.
"I'm sorry if it sounds like I don't trust you. And you know I trust you with all my heart. But you and him seem to be talking on two different views on events. I just want to know where he and I stand," Dick said.
He seemed to be holding his breath during his words. Saying a mouth full. Just trying to get the words out like he had been holding them back for a while. But this was honestly how he felt. He wanted to know what was going on. Was there anything going on?

Victor stayed where he was as he listened to Kory ask Dick out on a date. Or at least it seemed like that was what she was doing. He mentally crossed his fingers silently hoping that Dick would say no. But when Kory seemed to direct her words towards Victor he looked up from his smoothie and listened.
"Sadly I don't think there's gonna be an Indy there. He just doesn't seem to be having any new movies out at the moment. Unless they're playing older movies." He said trying to keep himself calm. "I won't forget the whip." He added with a slight laugh. Her voiced did seem to be having a calming effect on him. And he was mostly wishing that Dick wasn't here at the moment. It was just the loss of Lupin plus showing up and seeing a half naked Dick with a now half naked earlier wrapped in a towel Kory. It just wasn't helping him much.
When Kory made her down boy comment he simply smiled. He had no comment to make no way to reply. He couldn't think of any sort of joke he could make. So he just smiled. Smiled and sipped the smoothie.
When Dick took Kory into the bed room and closed the door. Victor slowly and calmly moved over to the door and stopped when he could hear their voices. He kept his distance from the door to the bed room and closed his eyes so he could better focus on what was being said. It was oddly enough a good way to practice trying to direct or control his hearing. But he wasn't think about that at the moment. At the moment he simply wanted to know what was being said. yes it was childish but what also wasn't on his mind at the moment.
