"We should probably eat first while it seems we are all still settling in," Dick commented. He gave a smiling glance in Kory's direction.
She was always thinking and putting others before herself. And he knew she was trying hard to make Charlotte feel comfortable. Though he could tell it was too hard. The signs were there from Charlotte's irritation. Dick had taken note of that. Whether she didn't like Kory in general could be questioned. But it was best to just try to keep the seas calm between everyone.
"That and I'm sure Alfred wouldn't look forward to us attempting to clean up any spills. It didn't go over well the last time Tim and I had a game night," Dick suppressed a slight grim that wanted to sneak onto his facing.
Recalling the time him and time had spilled some salsa on one of the rugs a few weeks back. They had attempted to clean it up before he would notice it. But Alfred has eyes like a hawk, though had been too late to try and stop them. They had offered to help him after they had attempted to clean the stain up, but Alfred had said they had done quite the job of making a normal stain even more of a challenge.
Sure they had felt bad over that. Though growing up here, you got used to a few stains...such as blood having to be cleaned up. They were all thankful for Alfred tolerance of them and their actions. Though salsa was a minor thing compared to the blood.
Dick felt a bit bad for abandoning Charlotte to finish setting up the game system. Though she caught on rather quickly as to how to set it up.
Once everything was on the table Dick took to Kory asking about a drink she wanted. And we was sure he could get everything a tab bit more quickly than Alfred. No offense.
"I know how you like it," Dick replied to Kory.
He turned his attention to Charlotte. "That or we have soda and what not in the frig," Dick replied, giving her a few more options.

With the two offering different answers to her question, Charlotte feels the need to side with one or the other if only to prevent a possible argument about it. "Yeah, we can eat first - it's easier that way," she replies, siding with Dick. And not simply because she's finding it easier to get along with him, but because she thinks that he's brought up some good points. Frankly, she feels uncomfortable with the idea of giving Alfred anything to clean up at all, let alone something that would be tricky, and the odds of that happening would be much higher if they attempt to do too many things with their hands at once.
Having said that, she finishes with the console and leaves the game running so that it's ready to go the moment that they're done. "Dibs on Sonya," she declares as she heads over to get herself a hotdog - because she has a favorite and she wants to play using her favorite. Though as she selects a hotdog (one of the regular kind - she gets wary when people start saying something is spicy, and she'll leave eating vegetarian anything to vegetarians), she's asked about drinks.
Which is actually kind of a tricky question since she's a major soda-lover who is trying to cut back because she's trying to get into better shape. But plain old water sounds boring, so after a moment of hesitation, she says, "Milk?" It ends up coming out as a question, because a part of her is wondering if that's a weird thing to want to drink.
Either way, it's easy for her to distract herself from that issue with the topping options. Let's see, what would taste good together? "Maybe you and Dick can be a team," she suggests as she starts putting it together. Luckily for Kory's fire-starting plans, the process of selecting ingredients has Charlotte distracted enough that she's not really even paying attention to what Kory's up to, let alone how she's going about it. Chips, chili, cheese, and a squirt of both ketchup and mustard find their way onto her hotdog. Let's see, anything else to add to that? Maybe a bit of pickle...

So much for any game plan in that. No of course that wasn't Kory's reason. She really wasn't bothered before or during. Most just choosing and it seemed… Do able enough..! Ok, as Dick went on now, he made some more pressing points. It could upset Alfred and he's the last person most would wish to upset. Let alone get mad, but Alfred get mad? That seemed almost unlikely… Coming to think of it, she wasn't sure she'd ever seen him mad… Oh, no wait. She can recall once. Giggling to herself. Being caught between Bruce and Dick. Its bound to happen at one point…. As Dick rattles on the mess and clean up. Kory's eyes looking around.
"In other words this isn't like Tee's couch… Though it could probably use an Alfred. X'hal knows, what is actually under that thing… I swear I looked once and saw a monkey's paw… Would this be the same night you played in Bruce's office? I would have sent you to bed myself. "
Kory responded to Dick, mentioning Tee's couch to reference the couch in Titans Tower. It certainly was infamous, even on the occasion it was replaced after being accidentally and once very much intentionally blown up. Those crazy hormones… The tower wasn't completely always a mess, but it was a bunch of teens. It saw its fair share. Though Kory hardly needed to go into that detail, save joking it might have benefited by having an Alfred. Who knew was under that couch or even under the cushions… At Dick mentioning the 'game night', which was utterly adorable, she couldn't help ask and tease a little as her brow raised. When she said office, she meant the other office of course. Joking yes, but she liked hearing his 'stories', especially the ones where he was potentially a mischievous boy. Smiled him a playful smile. Though suppose putting the game aside for now, would least allow for more talking than just eating the hotdogs. Despite Kory's stomach quietly rumbling at this point. Putting thoughts of a controller aside.
"Oh she sounds lovely… I'm thinking Flash for now… And maybe this handsome hero later, though I'm confused as to why he's locked up!"
Sweetly Kory remarked at Charlotte's choice of Sonya. As Kory picked up the booklet and flipped with the various characters. Usually playing Mortal Kombat she'd pick Reptile, but she opted to go for something different with this. Especially with familiar face. It almost seemed odd to be pinned against them. For now she favoured Flash to start with. She has a lot of powers, she was fast especially when she flew, but she couldn't super speed on foot. There was that and the fact she greatly admire Flash. West most of all course. Though with the look of this Flash belt, she was almost sure this was Barry. Though the proportions seemed more fitting for Wally… Kory flipped and soon spotted the black and blue. Her lips smiled briefly. Before wondering why it was reading he was unlock-able… She wasn't exactly familiar with all the game lingo, though she was wondering why in the earth he was locked in cage, raising a brow to Dick…
"Indeed, Gratitudes… Ooh, splendid choice. They always have fresh milk here… Also all kinds of fruit, I still think there's some in the back… They can make the most fantastic smoothies, if you desire something a little sweeter with your milk?"
Naturally Kory cracked a smile at Dick's response. It certainly was true, though she hardly expected he'd come out dipped in hot chocolate, she playfully teased at how she'd REALLY like it. Then again that would be messy, suppose Alfred would send them both to his room. One could only hope… Kory kindly responded to Charlotte wanting milk. She loved milk, something she wasn't really sure she would at first, but after the convincing from the titans, she tried it. Then hooked in a manner of speaking. It wasn't so common on Tamaran to drink other species teat milk. It was something to get use to. Kory had certainly came to quite like milkshakes and smoothies. This world, seriously was filled with amazing things. As Kory mentioned the mansion was stocked with a lot of fruit, referencing the back, her potential hiding spot for some tamaranean fruit. Before suggesting if that be something Charlotte would like, from hearing the unsureness in her voice, otherwise milk seemed perfectly fine to Kory and not weird at all. Delighted with a smile. Not that Charlotte had any clue up to this point that Kory was indeed of the stranger kind. Such a reference to 'aliens', Kory took to be quite endearing.
"Thats a great idea… You wouldn't feel outnumbered? …. X'hal, your hotdog looks amazing… I love a lot of mustard on mine!"
Kory expressed sweetly. It was rather fitting, given they teamed up in life, literally, but Kory couldn't help to ask if that really was fair, before getting to her feet and starting the fire… Then again she was sure Charlotte was more than capable, there was no way to tell until they got to the fighting mode, just how trick savvy they were. This would almost be the perfect time for Tim to come home… With the cascading amount of the killer hotdog spread. The video game, it was almost surprising he didn't come running… Thinking of hotdogs as Kory returned to her seat on the sofa and was marvelled at Charlottes construction. It was beautiful. It looked delicious. Only made Kory's stomach speak that little bit louder. A little bit more angry…. As her eyes looked over at her bare hotdog and then all the toppings. It was gonna be hard picking, but starting with mustard always seemed to be the starting block. swirling it down the lengthy piece of meat. Sprinkled potato chips, they happily played with the mustard. A little bit of onions and a little bit of mint to count the bad breath. More mustard. Mango salsa, a fair sharing of it. Smoked watermelon. Topped with lemon aioli and sprouts. Oh and of course. More mustard. Whilst waiting for Dick, she pulled open a hotdog bun and set it upon a plate for him. Ready to go.

Dick smiled at Kory's reference to Titan tower. He could recall a lot of moments everyone seemed to fight over video games. At least mainly Gar and Victor.
"Not quite. Tim's not as malicious over which control he wants to use. There is the occasional wrestling match," Dick laughed a bit.
That would explain something getting spilled. And that happened once and it was done with.
About ready to serve the drinks to the girls, he stopped at Kory's question.
"It means, Tim's slacking in the the vid department lately," Dick replied. That might be enough of a hint to tell her Tim hadn't gotten far enough in the game.
This could be true. That or he got a new game to play at that time. Dick was sure Alfred was keeping up with Tim in regards to homework as well.
"Milk it is," he said as he made an exit.
Dick got into the kitchen, his mind running over where everything was. Easy enough for him. Alfred always kept the kitchen in a systematic way. He could remember watching Alfred make snacks for after work, it was like clock work. Alfred kept the everyday used items close at hand and the more formal occasion items a bit out of the way.
Heading to the frig to grab the milk and the chocolate syrup, he made head way to the cabinets were there were cups.
After getting everything prepared and heating what needed heated, Dick headed back to the living quarters.
Re-entering into the conversation of video games, he commented, "Teaming with Kory probably would play in her favor for help."
His comment, not trying to offend Kory, but explain she needed the backup sometimes when playing.
"Here," he said as he set the milk down on the table for Charlotte, seeing she had a control in her hands.
He sat down near Kory, and was ready to hand over the mug.

Figuring that they're talking about some guy called T with a messy couch, Charlotte isn't really paying that much attention to what Dick and Kory are saying to each other. Why bother when Kory is clearly so unconcerned about including her in the conversation with all her tangents into people and places she knows nothing about?
There's a simple reason that she prefers Sonya: while the woman somehow has magic powers - she never bothered to look up why that makes sense since it's a video game about fighting and who cares about the plot? - mostly she's simply just a badass fighter who can hold her own against all kinds of aliens, monsters, and such. And Charlotte likes that a lot. Nevermind that she's a fictional character - if anything that makes her better able to appreciate the character since real people are so fallible and prone to disappointing you.
At first Charlotte is pleased that Kory seems to approve of her drink choice, but then she frowns when the woman seems to think she should make it even better. If she wanted a smoothie, she'd have asked about smoothies - this doesn't seem like the sort of place that wouldn't have the supplies for one, after all. "Just milk is fine," she comments. They're already having overly elaborate food, do the drinks need to be super fancy too? Then again, this seems like the kind of place for people with that kind of a mindset to be. She already gets that enough from Selina for pity's sake! Charlotte is one who tends to appreciate the simple things more. Even if she is really, really attached to some of the new things she now owns since living under Selina's roof.
"No, I don't mind," she says simply about them being on a team against her as she adds pickles to her hotdog. Though after that she scans the ingredients and figures that she better stop with that. There's definitely such a thing as too many toppings, especially since not all of them go extremely well together. Case in point: Kory's hotdog, which is just... would you even be able to taste the hotdog in there? She's pretty sure that not all those things go together... Hence when Kory compliments hers, she simply accepts it by saying, "Thanks." Any attempt to return the compliment would be a lie.
Taking a seat now that she's deemed her creation finished, she gives Dick a quick smile and thanks him when he puts the milk in front of her. In spite of all the discomfort and annoyances today, it appears that she's actually got a meal in front of her that'll make up for a lot of that. Though she wasn't overly generous with the number of toppings she put on her hotdog, she was quite liberal with the quantity, so she doubts her ability to pick up the hotdog by the bun and eat it that way. But she knows how to solve that, and starts by picking out one of the chips and using it as a scoop to collect some of the stuff that's spilling out. Once she's cleared out the excess, then she'll actually be able to pick it up and eat it.

When it came it down to it, occasionally. Kory could almost be her own version of the Da Vinci Code. Almost, wrapped in a mystery coated in golden skin. Of course it was not in her intentions to make Charlotte feel not included. Perhaps it was lack of the lengthy human experience, but surely someone knows someone thats slightly messy… Although messy hardly even begins to describe the tower… Kory's eyes glistened a little behind her glasses as she noted Dick's smile. The knowing expression, that just screamed he knew just how to unwrap her… For all she knew he was potentially doing that now. As she mindfully played her golden finger agains her jawline in thought, whilst making her seating on the couch. Amusingly smiled with her tongue teasing at the brink of teeth. Before ultimately giggling soft laughter along with Dick's. Malicious? Kory simply shook her kind head in agreement. Tim could never be malicious, least not to anyone or anything that didn't deserve it. Hmmm, but wrestling match… Somehow she was hoping it wasn't as intense as the wrestling matches between Dick and Roy. That might almost be horrifying….
"Oh, my… Would these wrestling matches be like the wrestling match we had with your pillows?"
Simply Kory responded at first. Half amusement. Half adorable. Half thinking Dick is like twice the size of Tim, but then again Tim he's stronger than he looks. But it was least assuring they were bonding. Before Kory leaned a little more towards Dick in her seating as she asked. Whilst pointing an elusive finger towards the ceiling, ultimately signalling to his bedroom. That almost lingering memory of feathers scattered and certainly Alfred a little red faced. Possibly wonder had little Robin lost his wings. Oh, but it was fun though. Half burying her curly red hair into the couch. Ah, pillow fights. Half blowing a strand or two of hair out of her face. Before a bright grin to Dick. There be a time. Again. Maybe not too soon. Then again she never could be prepared well enough, she could never really know when he would attempt to sink her battle ship… Though as her golden smile had widened a little. It kinda fell short a little as Dick commented and responded on the locked character in the game… Not really sure that answered her question why he was in a cage… You have to win something to unlock him? Oh, like a mission. What a weird concept, she thought.
"Oh…! Where is Tim by the way? He's missing a killer spread!"
Kory said shortly as her fingers fiddled a little at the game cover. Looking down at the caged wingman. Perhaps they could rescue him. Ran a slight thumb print over it, before Kory would put the cover back on the table, with what room there was now. With all the hotdogs and toppings. It easily aided in stomachs talking. Before calmly yet curiously asking where was Tim. Mostly just out of curiosity, as she briefly looked about the room and door ways to additional rooms. School? Up stairs? In another city? Half of her was wondering if they were meant to pick him up as well… She'd feel horrible if they had forgotten him. Before commenting on food he was missing and ultimately the game, most importantly the company. Her eyes moving from Dick. To Charlotte. Before smiling kindly and simply in response to Charlotte just wanting milk. Kory thought that was wonderful. She had merely suggested, well mostly on chance given there were tamaranean berries in the mansion, but then again reminded she really couldn't voice she was tamaranean right now. Food on Earth was a wonderful addition and well, Kory can be a little over board with it. Perhaps put it down to her natural nature or being locked away for over 6 years with a whole lot less… And a lot worse than gruel. Least one thing could be taken, she was making up for it. As she built her hotdog. Yep, it was almost bursting at the seams. Pretty in its fruitful and mustard way. Catching some fallen mustard on her plate and brought to her lips… Tangy and delicious.
"Oh, I'm glad, Charlotte… It should be very enjoyable. Do you play very many games..?"
Sweetly Kory spoke in response to Charlotte saying it was ok for the teaming. Suppose, it was a game after all. The element was to have fun, though Kory certainly could enjoy simply watching if there came a point in which Charlotte changed her time… Though Kory was certainly keen either way, particularly with a game she was rather new with. Surely a little competitiveness was expected, that was part of the fun. Plus more company time with Charlotte, was extremely welcoming, despite the secrecy. Kory though was mostly herself… Curious in ways to make conversation. Kory asked Charlotte if she played many games, wondered perhaps what kind if she did… Then it was about this time, that Dick rejoined them in the room. Kory should have known, from the sweet chocolatey aroma. He really had good timing, her eyes momentarily taken, before dropping for a moment.
"Am I really that bad?"
Asking with a curious look to Dick, with a slight glow at her cheeks. He was probably right. It wasn't like she sat down and played them that often. It certainly took some time before she crushed Gar, let alone Vic, but suppose it was a little down to practice. Smiling softly once Dick set down the milk, half eyeing his wonderful behind, before he ultimately sat beside her… She certainly had no complaints to being on his team, Kory always enjoyed it. Ooh! As her smile brightened at the sight of the hot chocolate. Taking the cup in her hands. Before she motioned a kiss to Dick's cheek and then brought the cup up towards her nose. Smelled the steaming aroma. It was truly wonderful. Though her heart certainly skipped a beat when she eyed what was on top of the chocolate.
"Gratitudes, hon… It looks amazing… X'hal! Is that what I think it is? It is… Its a Zorkaberry."
Happily Kory thanked Dick. Feeling the warmth of the glass tingle nicely at her fingers. It certainly helped sometimes to have the ability of warm fingers, it kept things toasty and in some cases some people… Her eyes falling from Dick and more whole heartedly upon the berry on top. It was almost cherry like, but there was no mistaking it. As Kory' golden fingers tugged a little at the stem. Lifting the purple berry. With textured skin. Whilst quite bitter, a little sweet and a slightly creamy inside. It easily brightened Kory's green eyes behind her sunglasses. Little to do, other than to pop it. Before Kory let the droplets of the berry juice squeeze in circulating motion on top of the hot chocolate. Before she stirred it in with a little dainty spoon, pulling out the spoon and ultimately tasting it. Ooh! Yeah. That hit the spots. Maybe several others, she innocently blushed. She was far from being home sick, but tiny little things like that, most certainly offered a little homely touch. Leaning in again. Lightly to catch the inner corner of Dick's lips. Before Kory ultimately took back to her space. Half wondering what would be next…
"You are very sweet, Dick. You can share with me, if you like… What were you gonna put on your hotdog? I got your bun ready, I hope you don't mind… How are you enjoying your hotdog, Charlotte?"
With a little lost for words, but Kory managed small. Little kind words. A smile. Before taking another sip of the delicious drink and ate the rest of the berry. Before of course offering Dick to share it, if he so desired. Kory then reached to place the glass on the table. Then took her plate in hand with her overly topped off dog and placed it on her lap, whilst sitting facing towards Dick and Charlotte. Her finger poked a little at the mustard and popped it in her mouth. As her eyes kindly caught Charlotte digging into hers and then shifting to Dick's bare pair of buns. Curious. Playfully nosy to see how he was going to construct it, as she pointed to the presented open bun she had placed on his plate. Not because she could simply say she had her hands on his buns… Before looking over at Charlotte again, not like completely stalker like, watching ever move as she ate, but was delighted to not hear any sounds of distaste so far. As Kory curiously asked, sincerely hoping Alfred and herself had done well in the kitchen. She couldn't say she made hotdogs very often, but she may have to… To that notion Kory began to pick up her own hotdog. It too, did a little capsizing, but Kory managed before it went all up in smoke. Her tongue catching the trimmings that fell, before finding her teeth biting a nice sized chunk out of her hotdog. Feel every layer hit her taste buds like a rocket. Intense, just the way she likes it. Filled with kick. After kick. After kick. Then half smoothed over by the freshness of the mint.
"Oh… !Wow!"
Was Kory simple words of extremely delight and loss for words. The expression written easily upon her face. Bringing her hand up to her lips, in the shear added delight and potentially catching any stray trimming on her chin or on her lips. Despite being a princess. Being tamaranean, didn't always mean they were the most graceful eaters, although she was certainly most grateful. Placing her hotdog down on her plate, as Kory chewed and eventually swallowed the wonderful party happening in her mouton. Her finger catching a stray seed, jamming in between her teeth.
"Is this your first time at the mansion, Charlotte? In case you need a bathroom at any time. If you just go through that door, head left, its the first door on your right… For some odd reason on my first visit I kept finding myself in the laundry room, before ultimately locking myself in the garden room… I do really love the laundry room. It has one of those enormous chutes…"
Openly and kindly curious Kory asked Charlotte if she'd been to the mansion before. See if she was familiar with it at all. Or completely new. Knowing from even her own experience it could be little overwhelming. Not to mention. A lot of house. In case Alfred or Dick hadn't mentioned, just for the sake of being kind. Kory mentioned where the bathroom was. Motioning a finger towards the door a few feet to the side of them. There were probably countless others, but surprisingly it was easy to get in this place, you'd think after a while you'd just run into one, as Kory lightly shared. Jested. Even now she doubted she had seen every room… As her eyes moved between Charlotte and Dick. Given he knew it far better than she did. Not to mention someone had to come save her from the Garden room, before she potentially took out the door. Commenting in liking the laundry room, of course that helped by the show Dick put on in the laundry room, but the gigantic shoot, was also… A lot of fun… Not that she knew from experience or anything. Smiling between faces, before picking up her hotdog for another good and juicy bite.

"Not so much Kor. Tim's got enjoy strength to fight back. That and he's walked enough wrestling to try some of those moves. He knows how to get out of a good headlock," Dick replied.
He gave a slight smile at her comment over the pillows. He remembered.
"Tim's still at school. Probably has two more classes yet," Dick said as he looked at his wrist watch.
The watch was more than a basic digital watch. It looked slightly advanced and expensive, but it was something the bat family had created. It having digital and hologram screens connected to the mainframe of the bat cave.
"You? Bad? You just need more practice," Dick replied to Kory's question over her skills at video games.
As she saw beside her, he was glad she realized how he had prepared her favorite drink. He always remembered how she liked it.
"I might take you up on your offer then. It's cool, thanks. I think I'll go for those cajuns" Dick said.
He sat forward as he reached for two of the cajuns hotdogs. Setting them in the buns, grabbing some ketchup, mustards, and piled on the chili on top of it.
Thankfully Kory had made a few of them. After a long morning at work, he had worked up quite an appetite. Two was just the start.
He sat back, plate in hand to enjoy the meal.

"Depends on what you mean by 'games'," Charlotte answers Kory's question rather cryptically. She goes silent again as Kory and Dick discuss Kory's gaming skills, but if either of them look in her direction they'd see a hint of a smile on her features. The rest of what they're talking about doesn't really interest her though, and even if it did she'd still probably be far too focused on enjoying her hotdog to articulate a thought at the moment anyways. In fact, when Kory asks if she's enjoying it, she answers in the simplest possible. "Mmm!" she grunts, quietly but emphatically - perhaps the only polite noise one can make when one's mouth is full.
Speaking of politeness, she makes the mistake of glancing over at Kory when the woman expresses her delight in her own hotdog. It's a mistake because, for one, though Charlotte isn't necessarily too fussy of a person Kory's table manners are enough to bother her just a little. And for another, she again just plain doesn't believe that combination of things would be at all delicious and her tastebuds revolt at the mere idea of guessing what it must taste like. Fortunately, Charlotte is not easily put off her lunch - she's a teenage girl, after all - so all it takes is for her to remove her eyes from Kory for her own hotdog to seem appetizing again.
Also fortunately, Kory's put her hotdog down when she starts talking to Charlotte again, so that when the latter reflexively looks at the person speaking to her she doesn't get a repeat of the thoughts that she just barely banished from her mind. Though she's working on chewing a mouthful when Kory asks her question so she doesn't respond immediately, and by the time her mouth is empty and available for speaking (well, mostly), Kory's gone on to express her fondness for the laundry room. And by that time all that Charlotte can do in response is give Kory a very weirded out look.

There was certainly a little more insight. As Kory happily listened to Dick, detail a little more into these so called wrestling matches he was having with Tim. Perhaps she was a little less surprised to hear Tim could held up his own, but she was still evidently a little happier to hear it. Suppose it was as its said upon occasion. Boys will be boys… Despite it still felt a slightly silly saying, but suppose silly was the point. Though as Kory could almost tip her glasses to Dick, he was certainly no boy no longer, but suppose. As she could recall, he could be silly in his warm ways. Smiling sweetly in response as Dick did.
"That is good to hear and impressive… Maybe Tim be up to trying my headlock?"
Kory clarified happily, without too much inner detail. She kind walked with spoilers, but she could keep secrets when required. Though she couldn't completely help suggesting Tim try escaping her headlock, suggestion for a training session in the near future… As she flashed an additional smile to Dick. Not to completely discredit Dick's headlock, but… She was still stronger, as she was sure he recalled his own experience with her headlock. Or even her fist. Of course it wasn't just shear ability of strength, but vastly helped. Shaped by her many many years of warrior training. Or perhaps that be to much for Tim. Kory half pondered, he was vastly improving, which was excellent to see and utterly charming whenever she encountered him. Kory nodded sweetly as Dick checked his watch and confirmed Tim wouldn't be joining them, or at least not in any time soon. It didn't totally cease all concerns, mostly because there was on the brief of what was going on mentioned…. The rest was pure guess work at this point until Bruce and Selina came home. Her eyes then looked more over the hotdogs, the large amount. She was convinced there would be enough to leave some aside for Tim, when he does come home.
"Oh of course… Any games in general, really. Video games. Board games. Sport games… What games do you prefer?"
Kory kindly responded to Charlotte's enquiry of what games Kory meant. In reality, Kory didn't exactly have certain games in mind, but now as she thought about it. in general. Whatever was considered a game, well… At least here on Earth… As Kory could sort of play a rather mixed list of games she had thus far throughly enjoyed, generally she preferred the interactive games… Oh, and of course how could Kory forget the infamous flower game, Dick had taught her, but that was slightly more… Intimate… Right? As she glanced as Dick made himself more comfortable beside her and in turn made her throughly comforted.
"Would we ever play Clue, again? That was fun…. The game part, I mean."
Rather casually as it sprang to Kory's thoughts, she asked Dick. Openly. Recalling a time once played by the Titans, whilst on vacation with team… Which of course Dick wasn't planning to come, but in fashion surprised everyone when he showed up at the door… Quickly turning into a game of murder and mystery, that of course… Turned into a real murder they had to solve… As Kory mentioned fun, apart of that particular part. Though it had been a very interesting and revealing investigation. Solved of course. They were titans after all… Picking a little more at her hotdog, as Dick questioned her being bad. Kory half smiled at the tone, that suggested could she truly be bad? Evil? Hmmm, well. She was sure she her devious moments, but no. She was mostly on the straight and narrow, but then again it wasn't like she could or hadn't broken someone literally in half…
"You're not so bad yourself… Practise. Makes sense… After all it didn't take me long to crush the virtual tennis!"
Sincerely, though playfully Kory commented about Dick and his overall behaviour. Not that he didn't have edges. She playfully smiled… Despite Dick skipping saying no, she happily took the need for practise and when Dick was right. He was… Usually. It was practise that allowed her to harness her powers in a more controlled manor so her emotions didn't exactly get completely carried away. That and depending on the video game perhaps. She was certainly no game wiz, she rather play outside, but Kory could certainly enjoy the video games. When she could… Practice, certainly aided her a little better with other games. Playfully hinting at an interactive wii game of tennis… With the enabling sound effects, it was most effective… Most enjoyed. As Kory grinned, before taking a slightly unattractive bite of her hotdog, but it was good. Beyond good. Her covered a little at her mouth as she swallowed. Smiling happily as Charlotte was enjoying hers. Lack of words, was certainly not a bad thing. Sound effects, definitely a good thing. Seemed the hotdogs were more of a hit than a miss, to which Kory was delighted, she was able to offer that. Not simply to enjoy herself.
"Ooh… That is hot."
Kory said in prompt response to Dick's choice in hot dogs. It was both an interesting choice and an almost telling choice. Bold, perhaps. Brave… A little spontaneous. Least, one could hope it would lead a little to that kind of behaviour. Kory without being completely intrusive, watched as he piled the dogs with even more heat. His taste buds would do some serious talking, Kory half imagined, though he was surprisingly almost more resilient these days. Kory made a soft giggling sound. She needed little proof to know he was quite a wonder… Though it seemed in Kory words. Detailing… Maybe too detailing words to Charlotte. About around the mansion… Well, particularly the laundry. That was a kinda be there, see it kind of thing perhaps… That and she didn't quite enjoy doing the laundry, but that was another thing entirely. Pausing as Kory was about to take another bite from her hotdog.
"We could give you a tour around later, if you like?"
Kory offered… Well, mostly. It wasn't her place to show around, but she was sure a brief tour wasn't out of the question… Just a matter of not showing the forbidden places, but they were more or less out of sight. Kory half looked to Dick as she offered, seemed a natural thing to offer, but of course needn't be taken. X'hal knows what was truly in this place, though she happily get lost in the library, it was a good library… Then again who knew how invested they could get in game play… A feast. Some game play, Kory might almost be down for a nap afterwards. X'hal knows how much sleep they'll get this night. Not that Kory could ever complain. As she happily picked up her hotdog and enjoyed another bite. Along with the company.
