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.
