The recent trauma had come and gone, almost. There very few fragments, Kory was defiantly on her way to being found after the control of Scarecrow… She needed to recover both mentally and physically. Too help aid in that, if Dick hadn't done more than enough, Kory had assured she was better than worse most days, but delighted in the surprise getaway he had sprung. Not too long, just an extended weekend. As hard working as she knew he was, knew this was very much a sweet thing… He had saved her already in so many ways and he still was… Travelling of course by Oceanic Starfire, to Tahiti. The familiar beach Dick knew she was so fond of… A retreat to also rekindle lost time, which it wasn't long until that was properly taken care of. Sleep had taken a while the first night to come after basking in the sun and waking up late the following morning… There was truly something peaceful about this place. Extra peaceful, Dick was no doubt peace for her. One of the things Dick had mentioned he would want to do was surfing, which naturally peaked her interest and thought why not learn to surf now. She could without cheating and Dick was a great leader. He had shown her many things in this world. Guided her. Why not trust him in this as well… She was quite excited when they had finally woken up, gotten out of bed and had breakfast. Met with sun streaking through the windows. The sound of waves lapping just outside and the sweet smell of sea salt. They were in their usual villa. Quaint and cozy. Familiar. Homely. The bad memories of this place were very much on their way on being replaced… With far better ones.
There was a certainly a pep back in her step, backing the short trip back to the bedroom and small luggage case. She had properly set herself up for this surfing lesson before they had left. Pulling out a surf suit. When she had seen this, there was no doubt in her mind. It had brought a smile to her cheeks. Kory could only hope Dick would feel the same. As she stripped, before slipping the surf suit on. Starting by putting her feet in… It was tight as she pulled in up, hugged her body much like her full bodied space suit did, only that was blue and white. This was Black and purple like symbol on the front. Went up to both shoulders and streaked a line along both arms. It was a little too twisting to try and do up the zip on the back. Sometimes she questioned why the zips were on the back, but she hardly could complain when she had such good help. Grabbing the gloves that could finish off the suit. Wasn't sure she pulled it off, but certainly felt nice. Smiling softly, shaking her head, assured this wasn't too silly. Totally practical and she really couldn't help, but like it… With a band, Kory looped her fiery hair into a lengthy pony tail that hung down back. Before going to look for Dick, which shouldn't be hard in the little villa.
"Dick? Would you be so kind as to zip me up, please?"
Once found. Kindly Kory asked with a radiant smile and turned, face him with her back exposed from the unzipped suit. A orange hand came to pull her hair out of the way and over her shoulder. Feeling the colours at her cheeks. The pulse that gently raced. Both for the surf, but no doubt because of him. It seemed she had been dragged away for almost eternity, forced to watch him ripped away from her over and over. There had been a little fear if it would happen again, but she was more assured. More delighted. More in the moment. Which is where she wanted and needed to be.
"I'm very excited… And a little nervous…"
With the dryness in her throat cleared and the shear heightened joyous tone. Turning her head a little, her green eyes peered in his direction and a bright smile. Truly feeling the excitement. To do something different and funny. Dick was naturally worried and she had felt his concern through most of the recovery, but she fine. Better now… Although with fuse with her brows, she confessed some nerves for the surfing. Not really for anything that could happen, more just simple butterflies. A little look came in her eyes, she could never feel ashamed and this seemed to be similar for a human. Though with confidence in Dick, she was sure she could get the hang of surfing. There be nothing to worry about… Turning shortly to face him as she put on her black gloves with purple strips. Presented in her surf gear that was very much a spin on the Nightwing suit, only purple rather than blue.

Dick had gotten up surprisingly early that morning. But he knew the best waves to work with would be in the morning and the evening. At least out here, the tide was stronger since the moon had been closer to the earth that night than through out most of the year. It tended to affect the tides.
The waves could be heard crashing to the shore. Even with their little shack being only yards from the water. It was a relaxing sound. A bit different the first night out since one was used to patrolling all night. Then listening to the traffic of the city to fall asleep to at times.
With having no time to really pack anything besides the small stuff, they were kind of roughing it. It being early morning, left him a bit rough without shaving. It was a last minute decision, but it was needed. They both needed to get away from the city for a day or two. And especially for Kory. After what she had been through, he needed to get her mind off that.
Dick had been outside for a bit checking on the weather and prepping a few things before they left. So when he walked in, he had the wet suit half way on. Letting the top half hang as he had been walking around.
He walked up to Kory after hearing her voice has he had been right outside the door only a moment ago.
As he was long her side in seconds, he put one hand on her shoulder and with his right started to zip that back of her suit up. His face was close to her neck as he did this.
The temptation was too strong for him not to resist kissing her neck as he zipped it up.
He could have stayed in bed a while longer along with Kory. But a promise was a promise and the surf was in mode that morning for them to work with.
"You know this really suits you well," Dick said as his hand that had been on the zip had worked is way down her side now.
His other hand snaked it ways down around her waist as he wrapped her in his arms. Kissing her softly on her neck between words. He couldn't resist. After all that time they had been apart, he was glad she was back safe and sound.
It had been a nightmare for the both of them. Maybe more so for Kory who had been under Scarecrow control...but none the less, Dick had gone out almost none stop on patrols and terrorizing others for information. He was just relieved to have her back.
"Every thing is all set when you are," Dick replied.
Though he made no effort to pull away from her as he had said this. He knew she had really wanted to surf though. And he could tell she was nervous.
"Don't worry so much. I'll be right out there in the water with you," he said softly into her ear.

The initial turn from the door, Kory hadn't completely set her sights on Dick, but the scent had more than assured her. More so as Kory heard the familiar footsteps coming up from behind. They weren't so far off, given the shack wasn't big, though the moment Kory felt Dick's hands upon her… More than shot her own kind of waves. The evident smile of her lips grew, as did her breath slightly as she felt his own at the back of her neck. Causing the little goosebumps, the good kind of nerves she enjoyed. Even when she couldn't see him directly, he still moved her. Feeling the faint touch of Dick's fingers as he began to zip up her suit. Then soon Kory felt the soothing warmth of his lips at her neck. Sweet affections, she cocked her neck into his lips just a little, with her own bottom lip slightly between her teeth and an escape of sweet giggles. He really could be so romantic, Kory thought sweetly, but then he had always had some definition of cute… There had been a long separation, so in ways there had been a lot of catching up to do and Kory merely needed him close. Maybe they both did, Kory could smile at his deep affections and heard his words. The ton in his voice. He could tempt her back to bed, not that they were restricted to just that, but surfing was going to be fun. Kory was sure of it and much of her nightmares had surrounded a beach. Possibly this one, Kory was on her way to forget, as much as she could, but much of the emotions felt were harder to shake… But right now. Kory was here presently, very much in his arms. Which had always brought her so much joy, but seemingly more so now.
"Gratitudes, babe… It certainly feels homely, not as restricting… As some may have imagined… Although, I feel you'd pull it off better."
Kory brightly thanked her babe for the tender loving words, most certainly in the tone and well the mere fact he was very much touching her… Which had to be noted, Kory liked to do to him, both privately and publicly, much to Dick's nerves. She just preferred him close. As the red headed tamaranean princess radiated a warmer gold colour at her cheeks. The bubbly smiles. Happiness seeping into her golden pores. Her back was still facing him as honestly and easily spoke in relation to the swimsuit, with the Nightwing spin on it. Thus helped the homely feeling. The suit wasn't restrictive as Kory had thought. As her green eyes shifted a little, playfully mostly, because honesty was her key and she couldn't truly hide from Dick… It was fabric, but it was fun.. From the way his hands lowered, driving her a little wild and comfort at the same time, it was fun for him too… Especially when it needed to come off. As the playful smile grew, she certainly wouldn't object… As her head momentarily felt warm and fluffy, with Dick's hands coming around her waist. Encasing her, in this situation it wasn't a bad trapping… Not at all. This was most defiantly the best kind.
"I feel defiantly set… Ready to crash these waves! Maybe both kinds… "
Kory said happily and most importantly truthfully. All she ever could do was feel her emotions and live by them. Even if they were strange at times, but well. The tenderness was tempting, but it was also aiding to the peace. Why not enjoy the fun on their doorstep together. There was an almost brimming smile, given there had been sometime gap since they've really spent such time with each other. Even so simply has the local supermarket shopping or even more so a stroll down the street. Expressed a little amusement in the various terms of waves, she could feel them as much inside than out. There really was some excitement in crashing them or letting them. If that was even the correct term. There was many ways Kory could simply cheat at this. Though somehow that made it seem less fun… Her hands soon fell upon Dick's hands around her waist… Uttered simple happy giggles at Dick's words about not worrying. Somehow she imagined both had worried a lot recently…
"Hmmm… Now thats the best part… Topped with the sun and the fun… I defiantly feel less reasons to worry… Guess thats why they have CPR. Although it technically wouldn't work, but I think we'd value the effort. "
Felt and responded to Dick's soothing words in her ear. Naturally Kory motioned and turned in his arms… To of course best face him. Still with the close space, but could defiantly note his bare chest. Yes he was defiantly tempting. As Kory's warm hands had met at his lower abdomen and casually coasted up to his collar bone. Against his jaw bone, before draping her arms a little around his neck. Bringing her suit covered figure in closer. As Kory could more easily find his lips with her own between her words. Kory jesting in regards to CPR, whilst recalling the fact she doesn't breath oxygen, which somehow she was sure he failed to forget at times. Her eyes looked to hims playfully, but certainly wouldn't stop their efforts or excitement. Her lips pulling him in for more deeper kisses. Catching on his bottom lip, just a little with her teeth. Felt the spark, well it was initially always there, but more so. As her now glove covered hands. Her fingers. Trailed back over his shoulders. Down his chest and torso. Fingers tug a little at the suit that hung off his hips. Yeah X'hal knew she was toying with him a little. With all the loving nature in toe, of course. Mumbling tamaranean ramble of words. Before Kory gently pulled away, not a lot, but there was a beach. More importantly an ocean awaiting. There was time later to pick this up and the lingering was always a good thing to have. Kory looked as to what reaction he may have and brightly smiled. Even ironically taking a breath, just a slightly different kind to his, but it couldn't separate them. Even really fear couldn't. Kory could think a little hesitantly at that, but mostly ignoring it.
"Ok, I'm ready… Would you like me to zip you up?"
Kory happily and kindly asked him in return before motioning to leave for the beach. Although with his bare chest, it wasn't a bad thing. As she kindly smiled as her fingers gestured, but she certainly wasn't in a hurry to do it… Though much could be said in the removal of most of his suits. Well, depending of the mood or moods.

"Nonsense, this look suits you well," Dick replied. "Though I could think of many things you could wear you'd look good in. One in particular I'm thinking or right now."
He had his arms wrapped around her waist by now and gave her a slight squeeze. She'd take the hint right away what he meant by.
"Lets keep the crashing to a minimum. We don't want any wipe-outs. Though for a beginner it is expected," he replied with a smirk.
He kept her close as he continued to kiss her neck. Feeling her hands on his arms alerted him more to her interactions to him. In response, he placed his right hand on her hand to just hold it where it was. In a loving way. He just wanted her near.
"I don't mind the practice of CPR, it's more of the reason why it is used I wouldn't want to experience it," Dick spoke up.
He wasn't try to be dark and gloomy or anything, but it was the truth. Though he could probably recall a time he had face it or used it on others. It wasn't the most pleasant experience to go through.
The practice of it was another thing entirely if that was what Kory meant by. And he was sure it was.
"I was just going to ask if you would like to do the honors," Dick said.
A little sign of disappointment over the change in the mood. But that was just Dick. He was playing around and knew she had something else on her mind.
He had promised her the chance to surf at one point. And he wouldn't have promised it if he hadn't meant it.
He loosened her grip on her to give her the chance to have space. They both knew it was best to head down early considering the best waves were around this time. Beside it seemed like they had all the time in the world at that moment.

Everything felt lighter. With the warm streaks of sun that streamed through the windows and bounced happily on floors and walls. The nightmares seemed far and distant memories. Save that little linger of the emotions felt, but truly feeling the place again. In reality and knowing she certainly wasn't alone was comforting and it was comforting to know this could still be peaceful. Relaxing. It was those traces of the bad, Kory merely wanted to shake off and feel whole… When Dick's arms encased around her, defiantly brought Kory light on her feet and felt complete. Whilst feeling the tingles. Even if she was also encased in the wet suit. Surprisingly it felt just another thin layer of skin. Not to knock back the real thing as even the mere linger of the thought could send up another rippling effect… More came as Dick's words complimented and calmed her. He was usually the more modest, but with his interactions Kory could assume he'd prefer her in anything that would have some way of undoing… Even then if he was anything like her, he'd find his way. Kory sweetly smiled in Dick expressing his thoughts. What exactly he was think? As much as Kory could read emotions, she couldn't always read minds. Even Dick sometimes, though after so long there are certainly hints. Like now in his simple playful manner…. Being here was defiantly the preferred choice. Being in Dick's arms. Was probably the reason for keeping his suits, when she couldn't take him with her.
"That is hard to pass up. Already at the top of my list, if I indeed had such a list…"
Sweetly and honestly Kory responded. Simply feeling his arms linger around her, if this was it. If this was as far as she got to the beach, Kory wouldn't entirely complain nor falling into complete bliss. With lips and the twisting of limbs, but then that was the general given… As subtly Kory mentioned the importance on her list, not that she really had one. Merely wore everything on her sleeves. Nor did she need the clothes on her back. Kory enjoyed life to its fullest as she could, but there was very little she could truly ever need. Kory smiled happily. Warmly in his arms. Born princess with very much surrounded with unconditional love, before she was made and forced a slave. Anything than love… Little would she had guessed she'd find it in such a cute and warm man… So many suits. So many memories. Experiences usually shared… Much like now. There was that extra something wearing in a sense the symbol, his symbol on her chest…. Stretched out a hand to best eye and admire the purple stripe along her gloved hand…
"I have followed you many times before. Why should this be any different? Even if by chance you lead me into a whirl pool, I am sure I'll be in perfect hands… Hmmm, yeah… I'll be fine, maybe a little faint. In the good way!"
It was a hint of a joke, least in response to his suggestions. Kory couldn't see his smirk, but felt the hint of his playfulness in his tone. Even merely his actions. In all ways to distract her, which oddly seemed reverse. Which only meant one thing, Dick was in bliss more so than usual. Perhaps less concerns. Maybe only a matter of time before something would course him to worry again, but it all added to his layers. Dick's comfortable layers. In truth he had more than often been the leader, officially and Kory happily followed. By choice. There were probably few people in the world that could honestly say they would follow someone anywhere… Dick was it. They had faced things together both common and the most uncommon… Even a whirl pool seemed simple. Ok, a little exciting. Though she promised no cheating… Besides allowing Dick being in charge was also exciting. As naturally in his actions and his hands. Arms around. Ah, lips at her neck. Enough to bring more of the bubbly giggles and the spring of happy tears. His kisses were just tender enough. Deep enough. Tickled her enough, to make her tingly and excited all over. Leaving her both wanting him here and now, but even more excited to take him hand in hand on the beach. The giggles ceased into more a lingering smile. Feeling his open and loving emotions pressed up against her.
"No harm in practicing… I'd hope you never do. X'hal knows I'd find a loop hole… At the very least, something to kick in."
Kory said with a simple smile, that could be an excuse, but she certainly was sure they had more than just excuses. The fact he had good lips seemed a good excuse as any. More so than any she had kissed… That at least had been what she had meant. Not that there was a touch of wonder of what she could do if he truly needed the breath of life. Kory didn't want to think of it to fully… Especially not now. As eyes barely wanted to close in many times in her mind she had watched him slip away. She had perhaps let him die. There had probably been every possible way she could lose him… Clearing her throat. Any thoughts she had… Because she knew that there had to be hope. Feeling his arms possibly circle. Trace around her as Kory faced him and a hand played at his chin… Even in moments in reality before nightmares, times when she had saved him. Any loop hole. She'd find it… Wasn't like she couldn't fly him to safety. As lips smiled more intently and her arms circled loosely around his neck… Maybe her kiss couldn't breath air, but maybe something else… More than just absorbing his language… Bringing her lips to press against his for passionate kisses. Smiles within, because there was all the chances he be rolled around in the sand before the sun is down.
"Well, I am curious to find out what its like… I wouldn't think my preference would offer you much protection, Dick…"
Thats of course had it been her choice entirely. As Kory took a step back after he unlinked and loosened even if it made parts of her groan. The look in his eyes. Every touch, she could tell was not a comfort for him, but there was fun to be had on the beach. Together. Which had to be the best part. Kory wasn't about to let any traces of nightmares that linger try to control her. A tamaranean didn't exactly do fear. They didn't do weakness very well, they needed to be strong. She needed to be strong. Dick could certainly help, but he knew the sun added a boost… A boost she was sure he enjoyed… Of course the fact they would both be in suits, did offer her lingering thoughts. As her eyes followed against his chest to his suit that hang. If he wasn't reading her mind, she might have to offer more encouragement. Though Kory certainly didn't rush to zip him up, though really all or in nothing. He'd always appeal to her… Dick was also human, protection might be needed in this situation… Kory laughed silently. If he was the one to promise this. She could promise they'll enjoy it. Stepping back as her golden fingers fumbled with the zip and of course help in aid to put his arms through the correct sleeves. Slowly zipped, in truth she zipped it up a little and then unzipped it a little. Whether just incase or merely just questioning it. He did have nice skin and as she smiled downwards. Nice feet. See not so bad, as her toes almost played with his.
"WOW… I had no idea it was like this… You earthlings, really don't see the parody in this?"
Once Dick was fully protected and zipped. Kory whilst subtle at first. Because either it wouldn't be all that she had thought or it would be too strangely real. Not that she was sure the real touch of skin was always the better way… This well… With all the sense of her own playfulness, gloved hands came upon his suit covered chest. Defiantly feel the definitions between the fabrics. Soon Kory drew closer, covered legs grazed his own. With joy very much written in her smiles. Sure the removal was going to be the most delightful, but why rush it so… Hands graced over his chest and down the contours of his torso. Until stopping before any lower and disappeared to wrap loosely around his back. Feeling it almost so real like as she trailed his spine. Her playfulness naturally lead her hands to his behind momentarily… Playfully asked, if this was half the reason, Kory found it quite cute… Pressing more against him with all intentions to kiss him. Somehow she was sure it had to do with more the bodies in the suits. As slowly she pulled back and her hands. Lightly one falling to his, to encourage them to leave the shack. To meet the sun and surf.

"As long as you keep your strength in check. I don't need to go through another patrol with broken ribs so soon again," he teased her on the case of the CPR
He was loving the closeness between them, but had to withdraw at some point as she wanted to zip his suit up. It was the small moments between them that truly made him treasure the time he got to spend with her. In bed was the fun part.
Though he could tell she was playing around with the zipper. Taking her time, more it seemed as she would back track a bit.
Being all suited up and with Kory alone, there was bound to be the closeness between them again. They didn't like to be apart for long.
He could feel her hands on his back as she spoke. And felt them sliding down further. Loving every moment of spending time with Kory, it was times like this he had to remember they had the whole day ahead of them.
Pulling her in slightly for one last deep kiss for that part of the morning, Dick turned toward the door following Kory's lead.
"Depends on what parody you mean by," he smiled, knowing fully well what she meant by all this.
As they left the shack, the surfboards were right outside the door way. Right where he had left them from last night. They were rentals, seeing as Dick would have no use for them back in the States.
Dick had to let go of Kory's hand so he could hand her one of the boards and carry his own.
"Stick with me when we hit the water," he said.
He didn't rush out to the seas, staying beside Kory as they walked. The waves crashed into the shore as they got closer to the water, it wouldn't be long before they were in/

Kory's hands certainly fiddled with the zip. Making sure she was making the right choice and that he wasn't about to get caught in another. She'd have to probably use her teeth this time. Wasn't so tight that he needed to breath in, nothing like a corset, but it was firm…. Very very firm. Though Kory was making small facial expressions as if it were taking some effort… If she had really used her strength, probably would have given her the other option and he would be bare. Giggling softly to herself, maybe later. He'd just hope she'd contain enough to wait until they're back inside… Her golden fingers coiled around at his waist and chest once securely covered. Patting down her work. He was all but perfect. Kiss on the cheek, now perfection. Kory expressed a small look of amusement from his teasing. As her finger trailed down, tracing the very ribs he had mentioned. To truly hurt him, she just couldn't do… Least by her own will.
"Don't worry, I'd be gentle, though I may not be able to give you air. Maybe get things moving. Do my lips not have enough power? Recharge me… Although who said you'd need to go patrolling… I think we'd prefer you laying in bed, with me feeding you sweets and watching fuzzy toons. "
Kory smiled deeply, with a blush, cos if he was really going, there all the chances she'd go a little over board, but she'd restrain to be more gentle. She'd want to save him, not literally crush him. As her fingers continually caressed at his ribs, then motioning to underneath his chin, whilst going in for the deep kiss. The recharge, as she smiled blissfully. If she felt something every time. More than those simple fireworks, she could only hope he did as well or close… Cutting back to him patrolling with his broken ribs. It was false hope she could contain him to a bed. Knowing him, he'd still go to battle with both his arms and both his legs broken. Still always chances of nurse time. Which when it came to humans, was rather interesting for her, well particularly him as a patient. She was no doctor, least not a human doctor. Kory could happily part take in the pampering one so often sees, plus Dick was extra special and cute. As of course by now, her hand went through the touching and feeling of the suit. Down his back and to his well formed behind. It was almost like she could feel him. Even with gloves on. Felt Dick's extra insistence and fell into the lingering last deep kiss. Least for now. As they motioned for the door. The exit door. Kory picked at her gloves a little, pulling them a little from her fingers. Flexing them. Making small signals as if fighting style. Marital arts wasn't really her style. Stopping shortly where the surfboards were.
"Do you remember when I asked if I could strip search you, to look for sparkles? A parody of that…"
Kory tilted her head with a curious look as she legitimately asked Dick the question and in turn answered his inquiry. Not that she was great twilight fan, that was probably the concern. Especially when he seemed all of a sudden more paler. Didn't exactly find sparkles, but a couple of freckles if he had any. Bumps. More bumps…. Kory smiled assuringly he would remember. Had let go of his hand at that point. One lingered at her hip a little. The other came a little at her hair to reduce a little glare from the sunlight… Otherwise her cheeks were a little more bright, very joyful to be outside. In the sunshine, even felt some shallow sand between her toes. Nerves were there to a degree, but mostly she was excited… Happily taking her board from Dick. It wasn't overly pretty, but there was a big sticker that stated 'surfs up' which had helped her pick it out. Held the board out for a few moments with a studying look.
"Still looks like a flat blimp, if you ask me. Why doesn't it have a motor? Or those little spinning wheels? I guess that would be cheating… "
Kory confessed her initial thoughts on surf boards, especially up so close. Smiling softly to Dick, turning the board around as she held it out. With her brow raised in her curiosity. Before tucking the board under one of her arms. Like she had seen so many others do, only even at the first step, she dropped it. Second attempt, it was all good. Brushing off the sand, as she strolled down the beach with Dick, asking her small questions. Wondering if the motor would make it easier. Be cheating. As her eyes didn't stray to much to any of the other people nor if they were watching. Whether cos she was a tall beautiful goddess or a big dork with a board. N especially not bothering if because she was wearing her boyfriend's symbol on her chest. So far any people she had met on the island had been nice, but her attention was mostly on the sand. The water. The sunshine. The view. Usually she would stroll down this beach for a good sunbathing or swim. This was entirely different feelings.
"Yes, of course… Actually… Maybe I'll watch you first."
As Kory said at first so promptly and confidently. There hardly seemed any other option and there hadn't been many times when she had ditched him. Following him was natural… Stepping at where the water now lapped, the smaller waves. Finally felt the slight chill of the water lap at her toes. Her feet gently sink and that feeling the ocean is pulling you in… Her eyes danced over the levels of waves. Caught someone attempting to surf and as her eyes wandering over the water. Felt a little more hesitant. Not so much scared, rather you dream of a thing so many time. You kinda grow an instinct not to touch something after so many fails…. Suggesting maybe she watch first… She'd least get an idea more then, but even as Dick became to wander in through the water. Kory was a little more nerved.
"X'hal, wait! On second thoughts…"
Kory called after Dick was about four feet away. Bravely with her board in had, splashed a little in his direction, to catch up. She was after all wearing Nightwing's wet suit… Looking to him with an almost assuring smile. Feeling the water level come as they made through the rumbling sea…. It really didn't feel so bad, as she went along. Just distant images. Maybe memories, Kory really wasn't sure why such lingered. Just wanting to forget… Move on. So far she was moving n towards deep water. Stronger waves. Thats of course if they were going to start with the big waves. Which Kory looked in awe as she saw someone catch some massive wave in the short distance, only to get washed out rather badly. Ouch, she certainly thought… Following Dick until his next instructions.

Dick leaned in for the kiss with her. Boy was she right, recharge was the right word. He enjoyed the moment between them, then gave a slight laugh in this throat.
"Your lips are enough to recharge me at touch," Dick replied. A crooked smile on his face as he looked at her. She would understand some of his thoughts.
"I'll take you up on the bed idea later. Keep in mind, I need to get back to work at some point," Dick replied.
As they walked out to get the surf boards, Dick looked over at Kory, raising an eyebrow. The conversations they got into...Kory always kept you on your toes. And this conversation leading back to a strange one.
"Yes Kory, I remember that. And like I explained, that was a movie. And personally I prefer the vampire that come out at night and can be killed by the light," Dick replied.
His expression less than pleased with the subject of reference. Sometimes he did not understand the movies and fads of today. He had not problem with the stripping part though.
Her next question was something he could explain a bit better over the matter. Though that was considering it was a earth sport. An not some fictional book.
"That would defeat the purpose of the board using the surf to move. The waves are what gives it the momentum it needs to propel it over the water. And it's the balance of the surfer that does the stirring," Dick explained to Kory.
He smiled at her. These were the small times he enjoyed to explain earthly traits to her. She was always wanting to learn more about the human ways.
"Alright then," he replied over her not wanting to go with him at first.
He waded further into the water holding his board til he was in waist deep water. He lay the board on the surface of the water. The wave slightly bobbing the board up and down before he managed to get on it.
He heard Kory's voice once again. He sat on the board, straddling it as he waited for Kory to catch up. The waves continuing to push at the board as he balanced it out.
"Well at this point we'll have to swim out further," Dick said.
He wasn't much further ahead before he laid on his stomach on the board. Then he started to paddle through the water with his arms to get out further to sea.

There was almost a rippling effect shooting up her spine, space closed in and Dick leaned for the kiss. His lips kept her in place. With just the subtle mumblings between lips… Even Kory smiled in his lips. Did she just feel him properly wake up? Rubbing her lips together as Dick seemed to pull back and laugh. Kory eye balled him with the cute look in her eyes. Her hand naturally falling from his chin. Falling to his chest. Her eyes blinked widely in response to his words. Recharge… Was, an understatement? As Kory returned the smile from the corner of her lips. As eyes looked to him momentarily in wonder, with that faint twitch at her lips. Her hands then quickly pulled him in again by the fabric of suit. Planting her lips squarely back on his… Only just that little bit longer, just before she felt she would tumble completely over or her heart would race right out of her chest. Hands loosened at his suit. Smiled almost in the kiss, hearing his words….
"Hmmm, defiantly later… Best we not, get carried away, right? If this be what they mean by the saying 'you'd be the death of me'. Whew! I certainly could think of worse ways… Aye, Aye Captain! Wait! I mean, Officer! Does this still mean I'm your co-pilot?"
Taking in a deep breath and happily nodded, in the later of the bed room. As her eyes gently trailed off to the bedroom door, that was if they even made it there… Suppose, the couch could always do or the porch swing… As Kory's green eyes looked to Dick's as she jested in the getting carried away. The surfing could almost be settling between all the ripping and intense vibes. As her hand gestured to fan her face playfully. He could be a little hot and heavy at the best of times. Hard to resist. As her fingers toiled at his suit, but she taming herself from anything that could take them downhill… Then he mentioned work, which Kory of course knew was in evadible. Playfully, Kory saluted Dick, whilst calling him captain, though correcting herself, after all he was a cop. Beaming a smile to him happily, certainly didn't dislike it. Raising her brows playfully and hints of curiosity as she quizzed if she was his co-pilot. Mostly she was just being playful, she wouldn't be the stalking type and insist she join him in the police cab so often. He needed his space, but if he were to have one… Would she be it? They did make a good teaming, As Kory's hand had finally slipped to his own. Leading him outside, also partially pulling herself out of the door… Into the sun, the only other thing that truly sent tingles against her skin. Another kind of recharge… Stopping in their tracks where the surfboards were. Kory caught his eyebrow. Kory returned with an innocent look… Although from his words, Kory couldn't help but smile. Shake her head a little in amusement.
"You swing from building to building. I'm from space. Gar is green and animal like. Vic is mostly robotic. Raven is a daughter of a demon. Garth breaths under water and Wally is potentially faster than Kal. You really think it be hard to believe? But… If I didn't know any better Dick, I'd think you just described yourself or better yet…. Bruce… Come to think of it… Did he ever tell us what kind of bat he is?"
Kory responded in much the playful manner. Was she truly believing in all this, probably not, but was it really a far stretch to believe in really any of the imagination. Listing off their traits and that of their friends. As Kory returned her own brow, before she paused momentarily and bit her lip from any small laughs, that Dick was describing himself. Up at night and preferred to sleep all day. Well, apart from the dying in the sunlight, but Kory was merely poking fun. If all films she'd seen suggest vampires were cold after all and Dick was far from being even remotely stone like or marble. Kory's eyes widened playfully in realisation before she suggested Bruce, he did turn into a bat after all. To which she bubbled a laugh, but that did make her think it over, even if she knew it not to be true, but the dots. There were a lot of dots. Realising she didn't ever ask what kind of bat he was. Even if it was playful talk, even Kory was suddenly feeling calmer. Still with the excitement and butterflies, but happy to be where they were. Taking her board in hand, tucking it under arm and her free hand took Dick's hand. Of course as always when Dick spoke, Kory listened, even when he was serious and ended up with her mostly wanting to kiss him. Though when he did explain the purpose of the board, it made perfect sense.
"Oh I get it. When you say 'riding the waves'. You actually ride the waves and without the board, you'd most likely sink… The surfer does the steering? So that's what you were doing last night?"
Kory responded more assuringly as she gestured waves momentarily with her hand. Somehow she knew it be different doing it, no matter how one explained it well, but she certainly was more excited now. To in ways to feel the waves beneath her feet, without sinking, but what were the chances of zero capsizes? Her hand fell back into his hand, as Kory walked in closer as she teased about him doing the steering. Offering him the play of her eyebrows… Although propelling over the water, Kory couldn't help wander how that would look if Wally did it… Kory offered Dick a simple sweet look as he continued once they met the water. Felt the tingling where his hand was. She really couldn't pin point what had stopped her. Fear it wasn't something she liked. If this indeed as it… Hmmm, it felt more just cautious. As her eyes ran over the water coming in. Dick going in further, that was enough to jolt her into taking the leap. This was Dick after all. When the sand went deeper, Kory pushed her board out. Upon seeing Dick on his board. Kory took it as a cue to get on hers not far behind him. With abled strength she pushed herself on the board. Her hands quickly grabbing at the board, feeling it move. She didn't paddle far before Kory went topside beside Dick. Slipping hopefully mostly gracefully into the water. Gurgling a little water, her gloved hand soon found the board again, lifting her head finally out of the water. Looked to Dick amusingly frustrated, expecting he would possibly be laughing right about now… Blowing the hair out of her face, when that didn't work, brushed the wet red hair back. Not that she needed air, but she was relieved to see the light again. Laughing it off, that certainly killed some of the nerves. As Kory was more than happy to get back on her board, only to make sure to take it more steady…
"I'm not sure we're gonna get there, if I keep falling off… I guess we need to work on my balance… Hmmm, I think I'm good… Woah…"
Kory joked once she managed to get back on her board. Straddling it beside Dick. As her hands held at the board. Least she was determined and 100% not using her powers. Her eyes looked from her board. To the waves ahead. To Dick with a smile. She would be selling herself short now if she simply called it a day. As soon felt the rhythm of the waves. Mostly just doing what Dick was doing. Follow his lead, wasn't like he hadn't lead her astray in the past. Picking up her smile. The excitement to continue on… Especially as her eyes caught some stranger surfer man, ride some massive wave… Too which had caught her attention off balancing for a moment, but Kory managed not to cap side this time. Following Dick's lead, she managed to stay float. She raised a brow as he laid upon his board. Now, now, that couldn't be a complication. As her green eyes looked down. Recalling the tips he'd shown the previous nights, this was going to prove if she was truly paying attention. Slowly steadied herself, soon her chest was the last to meet the board. Was certainly something to get used to. Slowly Kory took her time to reach out her arms as Dick had, but soon pushed through the waves. Kory could almost see how this could become relaxing. Beautiful sunlight. Smell of fresh sea salt. The sway of waves. As her eyes looked ahead there was no darkness that surrounded, but there was just stretch of open clear sea. The almost never reachable horizon. Kory assumed they wouldn't be going that far, but she would follow Dick's lead.

Dick wasn't all that caught off guard with her grabbing the fabric of the suit and pulling him back in. He was not reluctant in any way. Coming back into the kiss, he wished it would have lasted longer. Though he knew there was more on Kory's mind than just that moment.
"Forget the formal titles," Dick replied, smiling at her. "I'm off duty remember."
Dick watched her as she spoke. Their conversations were never short of entertaining at times like this. The small talk was always enjoyable on both ends. And the logic between them. It was fun to challenge topics with Kory for fun.
"I'm not sure. Though as Kara seems to say he's a gargoyle," Dick laughed. Using Kara's name rather than Supergirl was also out of being out of costume as well. But Dick made a point of making little interaction with anyone outside of costume when needed.
There was little said that would go unnoticed by Dick. After all, look who he had been trained by. So of course he had heard the nickname maybe once or twice used as a description by Kara.
Though he knew Kara did care for the League members. After all it was Batman who was one of the three to help her out on earth. Maybe not the most trusting considering they carried kryptonite with them. Yet, Bruce didn't seem to warm up to her all that well either. But that was to be expected of him.
"You'd most likely get pulled under. And yes you ride the wave, but you uses your body and balance to steer," Dick said. "Ah, you noticed."
He continued the playful banter between them slightly as they got into the water. When it came to teaching someone a skill, he usually became rather focused on the target. Not that he was trying to avoid anything.
"Maybe we should have practiced on the beach first before hitting the water," Dick replied.
There was no need to rush so he took his time paddling the surfboard through the water. He was keeping an eye on Kory as well. Just to make sure she didn't wipe out just getting out to the currents.

Kory wanted to linger in that hold as long as she could, but of course it was never ever long enough. With her golden fingers entwined with his fabric. With little effort, but just enough pull. His lips were on hers, almost in them, if she could have managed. Pressed against him, it was like shaking an champagne bottle. Something eventually was gonna pop. Explode…. Kory could defiantly attest she felt all kinds of fizz. The good kind. The best kind. As her eyes had shut within the passionate embrace, but flashed her bright eyes as the words came. The draw between. Hand catching her hair, so not to hinder her smiling response. Sometimes he knew just what to say, more than she could. Whilst titles never really held a truly candle between them, they were somewhat there and saying it. Was just the added stripping down. It really didn't bother her, all she wanted. All she needed was him. Even though there was not a single trace of oxygen in her body, she couldn't help him making her taking a breath.
"If those are the formal… What are the casual? I guess how could we forget, Daddy Smack? Hmmm, Puddin' pop! Am I still the plum coated in the sugar? Off duty. You really deserve it as well. I can put you back on later… "
Yeah, now Kory was most teasing him. Teasing him good, she was almost sure. As her fingers trailed under his chin. Now, now. There were many names that were made. Titles if they were. As Kory winked playfully, bringing up one of the more private, yet memorable. She could have almost returned the favour then and there, perhaps she did just that. As a hand had slipped only moments ago. Her lips motioned to just tease his lips. Most of these titles, weren't often, but hey she couldn't help it. Dick was calmer than she'd seen him in a while and given that while was probably before Scarecrow took her, it was a long time coming, but defiantly worth it. Hmmm, most defiantly worth, being inches. Looking up in his eyes and throw out silly names, that perhaps were more loveable because of past yet better memories attached… Hard to be rid of a smile, when he was indeed smiling at her. Her eyes barely fluttered when he mentioned he was off duty… As if he was trying to remind her, he was hers for these days, at least his fully and undivided attention… She had to ponder if he knew how much she didn't close her eyes at night. Not wanting to blink him away… He was deserving of peace just as much, she could only have imagined, but then did she really have to. He seemed so much more Gleeful… With the close distance, Kory did joke in her flirtatious way that she could put him back on duty. With the playful look in her eyes. The toy at his lips, Kory was sure he'd catch her drift.
Eventually the lead. The pull away leading out into the open. The sea breeze. Smell of sea salt and sounds of waves. Of course the sound of Dick's voice, so close. So real, that was the most calming of all. Even though the conversation was not all that serious, it didn't matter. It still counted. Though there was little bit of an eyebrow raised regarding Kara's thoughts on Batman and joined in with the laughing. As her little golden toes dreaded long the sands, as they made they're way.
"I suppose, I'm sure I've seen Bruce do at least five moves… Would you think he's like Goliath? 'Gargoyles protect. It is our nature. Our purpose. To lose that is to be corrupt. Empty. Lifeless.'"
Kory lightly joked to Dick, of course even as she mentioned seeing Bruce move, didn't rule out he was in fact a gargoyle. No. Given the hunchback and the more beloved animated Gargoyles show. How could the tamaranean forget the variety of tons, that sprang in that tower? As Kory belatedly referenced, surely Dick would somewhat recall. Particularly the tall, dark winged gargoyle with the deep voice. As Kory did her very best impression as she could. Of course she could have related given the divid between Gargoyles and the humans, but Kory, well. She did more than try to reach and get along with the humans, but there were things she could still relate… As Kory blissfully smiled at just the most briefest memories. They were defiantly there. Although as Kory looked at Dick, she recalled her once had similar hair to Goliath. She also recalled how Goliath fell in love with the human. Hmmm! Curiosity, but Dick was defiantly more than a gargoyle. Scooted just closer enough to reach and peck him deep on the cheek. Whether or not he knew the reasoning or not…. Did there ever really need to be one?
"Ah, pulled under you say… I'm not sure I want that to happen, I mean I have my powers, but even if I wanted to cheat… I'm hardly at my best, but what good of a tamaranean am I, if let fear control me… Besides it really does look like fun… Dick, when you provide me with such physical attention. Its impossible not to notice… Nor when you do thee most romantic gestures… If I ever had any doubt, you know just how to put all of them in check."
As much as Kory had pushed back. Away. Left to forget, the shear mentioning of what could, at Dick's word. It did not crippler her entirely of doubt and fear, but there was defiantly a hint as she repeated it. As her hand mildly came to the back of her neck, brushing her red hair across her shoulder. Being pulled under was certainly not pleasant, but as the negative words came out of her words. With her powers she could do all kinds, not to mention she didn't need to breath, but she'd hope to do this as humanly possible, even though her powers felt so utterly natural to her… Briefed a glance to Dick, she didn't feel completely at her power range. There was only ever going to be ways to find that out, but with a smile. Listening to her own words. Offered to spin that. She was not Koriand'r without her bravery. The princess that had battled all kinds of monsters. Even as she escaped to Earth. No, she knew only way around it was to face it. Her eyes looked upon the water. The waves. Who ever was surfing before them. Sure it probably was harder than it looked, but it looked thrilling. If this was something Dick enjoyed, she knew she'd enjoy it. No doubt… As the footsteps had began dreading the water… Kory looked to Dick with a curious playful look at him, about noticing him. The was kinda hard to do. As Kory responded suggestively that he knew. Her eyes following his every move. He was something to gaze at. To admire. She could pity those who just couldn't see it, but she thanked X'hal she did… Her voice lightened in gesturing about the other more romantic gestures he had planned. She had still been taken back, but left her with good memory after good memory…. After her struggle with the board and regaining somewhat balance. Just inches separating the two… Her eyes looked to him there was no doubt, but if there was, he defiantly eased all. Feeling the water lapping around her thighs. Her board. Knowing well there was a good several feet below already, but after that little capsizing. Kory kinda felt a few nerves all, but go.
"Maybe, but I'm out here and I have you as my guide, Dick… I can think of worse guides… I'm sure I'll be fine. So, what if I take a few dips in the water…! Look see. That looks fun!!! X'hal! Can you teach me that? Ah, well least we know I won't feel that kind of pain!"
Perhaps practising on the beach could help, but sometimes you just had to jump out in a whim and well, Kory was already here. Taken the steps. In the water. With green eyes out upon the ocean. It really was one massive spread of water. Land masses from the surrounding islands, but it was open and free. Remembering just some of the reasons why she liked it here. It was clear. The sun streaking down, was the best part. So warm. Little by little as she absorbed more and more energy. She could feel the twitch of her muscles. The race of her heart, but it wasn't thudding out of fear, not so much than it could have been. As her board gentle rocked side to side. Almost feel her toes touch Dick's. As she smiled assuring Dick, she trusted him more than most. Not meaning to put pressure on him, that he may lead her astray, but never had he failed her. Kory really would as she had said it before, follow him anywhere. As one hand gently motioned towards his own, whilst remaining one more securely on the board. If her hand to his, could help assure. It may take a few tries as Kory suggested, but with the light play blow of the hair out of her face, she hadn't quite forgotten she did like a challenge… Just at that with a giant wave nearby. Closer. As she pointed out to the guy doing awesome movements. Tricks. Though, for sure looked like a lot of fun. As Kory's eyes widened at the shear thrill she saw and grinned, before she asked Dick if he'd be able to teach her that… Of course as Kory cringed, as seconds after the surfer landed in a less than implicating position on the board, before he eventually crashed into the water.

"I'm sure you will," Dick replied.
He was enjoy this time between them. Being on their own. No one would find them out on this island. It made it all the more easier for him to enjoy the time. As well as leaving his city in trusting hands that night.
As much as he could trust Arsenal with not running the ship into the ground in one night. Which was unlikely.
And there wasn't much of a chance of being alone for along at Kory's place. Seeing as Roy was her roommate. There was no telling when he would bring company home.
The conversation continued between them of course. And now even in the water, they were having more conversation.
Of course, every minute did not go unheard. Dick looked over at the surfer in the distance as they rode over a wave.
"Maybe not that advanced. You haven't even tried standing up on the board yet," Dick replied.
He sat up for a moment as he looked on as the surfer wiped out. Kory definitely wasn't ready for something like that. Maybe months down the line if they lived on the beaches. That wasn't going to happen.
"You up for trying to stand on the next wave," he asked.

Post by Kory Anders - Starfire on Dec 31, 2013 23:01:27 GMT -5
It was the time of bliss. Full bliss and nothing even remotely less. They had everything they needed. Kory certainly did, her free will at the highest peak. She was defiantly not going to miss celebrating that fact and simply get back into the swing of living. Especially if this meant she was closer to being human, but of course there was always vast reminders she was an outsider. A tamaranean. Of course slightly more cuter than Marvin and sweeter… Kory could simply smile at Dick's words. It was the kind of duty that was enjoyed by both and worked both ways. Of course they could have more playful fun with his uniforms when they got home…. She was sure they still haven't truly, broken them all in. She offered and showed her playful smile at that thought and most likely Dick puzzled… Although with uniforms and suits in mind. As her eyes lingered between them… It was really only a matter of time… Although she was quite enjoying the comfort of hers. Gloves all her own, as fingers ran over the purple. It still probably didn't secure his own forever, but Kory was always content with the taking of his hand. As the rest naturally follows.
With the many weeks, perhaps it had been months she really had no real idea of the time that was taken, but there was certainly a lot of conversations to be made up for. Kory wasn't much one to hold back in conversations with anyone, but she undoubtedly felt the most comfortable with Dick. Even in her ramblings. She still had questions from time to time about the world and around them… In this, as they had motioned across the sandy beach. Met with the bright warm sunshine and waves breaking at their toes. This was just another thing he could show her. Teach her. One step closer to being part of this world, well ok she may have taken a few steps, but these were steps back in… Even though the tamaranean princess was hesitant at first. With vague emotions and memories of days past, it was naturally gonna linger, but of course the bliss of the freedom was evidently a stronger pull. What was the expression? Jump in with both feet! Yep, that was what Kory wanted… Needed. Well, even if that meant more than just her feet. After the flip and dive. Ok, crash into the water. Less Nightwing stealth, she was sure, but eventually with intent. Kory was back on that board. With balance. Precision. As they floated not too far in, but enough they got an awesome view. As Kory was amazed by one of the surfers, until the cringing moment. Flips and the circling thing. She was totally down to doing that. It reminded her a little of flying, just a water trail in place of her fire trail. That was until Dick pointed out a factor.
"Ah, touché… So, no flips and no, circle things! Got it!!! Though I think I understand what Roy was saying about where sea monkeys come from… Should I be concerned, Dick?"
When Dick was right, he was defiantly right. Perhaps after a few more lessons. As her green eyes played upon the waves ahead and surfers attempts. All things she could do quite easily without a board, but no cheating. Simply standing was certainly gonna be a bigger leap. As Kory happily agreed, no flips. No circles. No tricks. She smiled, she was happy to follow his lead. Perhaps a little more than eager, but wasn't this all an adrenaline rush, he use to say? She was Starfire wrapped up in Nightwing… Somewhere, there was a pun in there. As Kory at least could manage to float. Balance closely along side him. Fingertips at reach. Jokingly. Playfully expressed to Dick. Hey, she couldn't help herself… Though her eyes did carefully look down and across his body, as she raised a brow of natural concern, as her eyes returned to his… Grinned an amusing smile. As her purple striped gloves gently waved around in the water below. The gentle play of her toes. It was really quite soothing. No darkness in sight. Just light at every turn. Water so clear and fresh. Going for more trips in the water, hardly seemed so bad, of course even better when not solo, but they were doing the serious stuff now. Playful later, well, maybe a little in between.
"I think so… Yes! Can you tell me when, hon? I have to find the balancing once standing, right?"
A little hesitant in her words. In her thoughts at first, but she knew in her heart. Deep down she wanted to try. Especially in thinking she really could literally stand on a wave, minus in flight. That just sounded like a thrill. Even though she didn't really know how. She knew following his lead, would more less lead her out of trouble. As Kory knew she probably didn't need to ask, but she assumed it had to do with timing. The preparation. Then it was the balancing again. Kory was sure she could find the in between. Not to sink it or completely lose it. The happy medium. She was sure she could go without breaking the board. Be similar to the raft Donna and she trained on, but that was a little larger… Though still Kory was determined, even if it would take a few tries. As Kory smiled and happily embraced the on coming waves ahead of them.

"Don't worry about what Roy says. He most just talks to hear himself," Dick said jokingly.
He wasn't taking a real jab at his friend, he was just trying to keep Kory's mind on track right now. It was important to concentrating when surfing. Well part of it. As well as having fun.
"Yeah, just follow my lead," Dick replied.
Dick paddled through the water a bit to turn his board. It was now facing toward the shore. He now saw up and looked to Kory.
"We're going to try and catch the next one," Dick said. "Ready?
With that, in moments Dick was hopping up onto the board. Feet planted as his body faced sideways and his feet spread apart. This would help for the balance factor.
He was staying low with his upper body. And kept his knees bent. It was all a matter of timing and balance in this sport.

Kory was remaining calm. Serenity. As best she could do. To keep the centre. The balancing. As her Nightwing suited front laid on the board. Felt the sway, but she was mostly beginning to get use to it. Kory was sure minus the board, she'd be able to do this by flight, but no she was looking forward to doing this in the more human way. Although one could almost ask if the things Dick did was entirely humanly possible, but well hey. She really wasn't going to complain about it. Oh, defiantly not. As her green eyes balanced in his direction. He was usually very good at adding the calmness. Wasn't that what made them work. She opened him up to the butterfly he was, the black and blue kind to be less girly, but he brought her back down to earth. He taught her control. Almost, as Kory caught his joke. Causing the vibrant giggles. They nearly off balanced her. As her giggles halted with the added gold to her cheeks. Looking to Dick mindfully with giggles, just more subtle. Though in all truth. She was beginning to enjoy it more and more, ok there were unknowing nerves, but she kinda liked them too.
"You do speak truths, I am relieved… Hmmm, X'hal… Now I kinda want sea monkeys."
With the subtle pep in her voice as Kory responded, inches from Dick. Beamed an endearing smile, partially amusement, as her eyes wandered over him at her relieve, but hey he was Dick Grayson. He was usually his own protection. X'hal knows the chances of Kory attempting to jump boards to save him, she'd most likely end up in the water. Before openly commented at the swaying thoughts of tiny little sea creatures. Certainly it was an innocent thing to say, as she laughed gently with then the gentle shake of her thoughts. As golden fingers swirled lightly in the water. Her attention. Her thoughts needed to be mostly on the surf. The board… Dick! As her green eyes followed his voice. Wow, was this it? X'hal, she suddenly felt her heart kick up notch. Her fingers that had swirled, swirled more eagerly. At first the board tempted to go merely in circles, but Kory soon managed to follow suit. If not for the shear excitement and nerves all in one, she could have taken more advantage of the view. Ok, maybe a little with the extra addition to her smile, as Dick then turned and look at her… Did he know? Wait, its most likely he always knows. As Kory's cheeks went extra golden. Before eyes shifted back to the ocean behind… Woah! Even though it wasn't as massive as that poor bugger, it was still coming towards them. Not that Kory entirely felt the tightening in her throat, once she'd broken the first few attempts, she was sure the enjoyment would really kick in. Her eyes looking back to Dick's innocently at his words, with some added bravery, heck she was always brave. She battled space monsters. What was a little water, that was charging in the said direction.
"Ready! Woah… Hey… I… Ok!"
Kory called back in response. Was everything entirely ready, maybe not, but she had to do it sooner or later. Sooner would be the better, only when she meant she was feeling for maybe a couple more lingering seconds… As before she knew it, Dick had motioned to his feet on his board. Really hadn't thought it be so quickly as she called out, but in her brief pauses. Kory made the effort to follow suit. She recalled the mentioning of upper body strength, that really wasn't something she lacked. There was a little slipping involved, but Kory seemed to manage her golden feet planted on the board, without completely falling off, least not yet. With little motion as Kory was looked to Dick with the sign of 'OK'! At least she felt she was ok for the few seconds, before slowly, least it felt slow, as she felt herself sink a little. Water lapping over the board and around her toes. As Kory looked down… Too much weight? As she began swaying her arms around in reaction.
"X'hal! Too much… Too much!"
Kory remarked out loud, not completely screaming, but enough to hear the tiny bit of panic and enough that Dick would defiantly hear. See. Oh, geez most likely amused. As Kory in her efforts with her arms and to ease up on the extra weight. Too much balancing. That certainly was less than a Nightwing move. Although it had to be some luck, that she still even felt the board under her and not completely lose it. With the attempted to cease up, Kory started to feel less and less of the sea water circling at her ankles. Soon she was above sea level, perhaps a little to much above sea level. Kory just wasn't aware she, it really was second nature at times.
