"A slumber party?!" Phoebe asks, instantly excited by the idea. It is, after all, on the list of things that she's never done. Then again, that's a very, very long list. But one that Kory seems to be determined to shorten. Though she frowns slightly in thought when she's asked about a sandbox. "I don't think so..." she replies. Then again, this place is so big that she's yet to explore every nook and cranny - especially outside. Then again, playing in a sandbox is something that she has done before. Well, it was more of a desert than a sandbox, actually... pretty much the same thing though, just on a larger scale.
Yet as exciting as all of those thoughts are, they're easily forgotten as Dick explains what he wants to talk to her about. If he'd hoped that she'd greet the idea with the same enthusiasm with which she'd given Kory's plans, he'd be disappointed to see the increasingly troubled look on Phoebe's face. It's not that she's uninterested - in fact a part of her really yearns to be able to use her powers for good. But after a moment of thinking about it, she asks, "How is that different from working for the FBI?" Naturally she'd be worried about that, after all that's happened. Very worried, in fact.
So much so that she only gives what Kory's doing now half a glance, as her attention is now fully on Dick. While she's sure anything that has pink ribbon involved must be awesome by it's very nature, some things somehow manage to be more important. And not repeating her past mistakes is certainly one of them, so she's not going to believe that what Dick is asking of her now is different just because it's different to him. It has to be different to her for her to even consider the idea.

It was a day of chocolate. A day of togetherness, joy was inevitable to follow. If not, Kory would certainly find it. There had been too many days without it, which best put behind her. Freedom was once again on her tongue, in a manner of speaking. Being back with friends. It was a delight, Kory could never take for granted. No matter, of stature, of age… Happy to keep her arm linked with Dick's, just that little bit longer as the tone. His words, as simple as they were. Simply made her smile. He seemed content on the girls spending time, even if it meant minus him joining in the activities… Unless, as Kory playfully ran her fingers up and down his arm. He would feel left out. Her green eyes looked with the mischievous look, he knew, mixed with that honest intention.
"You are welcome to join us. We can certainly offer you a pedicure, brighten up your finger nails… X'hal, paint them black and the middle two blue. What you think?"
Spoke bubbly and kindly, light hearted humour. He was man enough to do girly things, from time to timer. Offering him a pedicure, even though she may have confused it with a manicure. As she half bit her lip from showing to much amusement. Motioned for one of his hands, pointing to this little, index and thumb to paint black. The two middle fingers blue. Asking for both their opinions, with a simple, playful wink. Kory thought it would be good colours. Matching, though he could run risk of being caught. Laughing softly as she had pondered before if anyone would be able to tell Nightwing was Dick Grayson, simply without his gloves, just by looking at his hands… Well of course, apart from Kory, there was probably no inch of him, she hadn't overlooked and with every inch would bring a new sense of admiration… Simplicity certainly enabled her joy, life simply most of all and she wasn't the only one good with children. Dick could be quite able, whether he realised it or not, maybe that was part due from leading the much younger titans. Somehow Kory could very much pin it down to his caring nature… He could at times come across as stubborn and cold at times, but he was one of the warmest people she'd ever really known. It truly wasn't hard falling in love with him. Over and over again.
"Indeed, a slumber party… Or parties. Something tells me there is a lot of fun to be had… Even if minus a sandbox…. Although in doubt, I could always make one appear."
There was a warmth very much in Kory's heart for this special girl. Still no officially notion on her name, but that would hardly stop any connection. Nor any quality time spent, which Kory was more than delighted to see the excitement. The joy brighten up the small girl's eyes. So filled with wonder and opportunity. Kory hadn't really experienced slumber parties, until titans, so Kory was just excited. Then she was Koriand'r, joy was usually not far off. With a warming smile, suggesting more than one slumber party. Not needing to be the same kind of party, but Kory was in no need declining to spending time with her special friend. Hmmm, maybe sister. Of course, spread the time out, they were busy women and Kory wasn't always just play, just right amount of balance. Hopefully. Lingering a shift of light eyes, mentioning the missing sandbox, when all else failed. Kory could always find something else up her sleeves, her generally invisible sleeves. The same ones she bore her most strongest emotions. Kory rarely felt anything half filled. Whether it was complete bliss or complete anger. Not really usually someone to be in-between, she was honest. Not that Kory couldn't be unsure at times, even then she'd admit to it, rather than hinder with it. How else was one meant to become unsure? And, well, there was probably always going to be something to be unsure, but Dick had shown her vast things on this planet. Help fit in. That was all she really wanted and after being locked up, who could blame her for simply wanting to live her life. Especially how she wanted to, with of course staying close to the laws. Not like humans aren't guilty of bending even the tiniest laws… In a short pause, before raising a somewhat valid point, that she could always make a sandbox happen… Which may have sounded like a magic trick, less pulling out of a hat that Kory didn't so much have. Although already thinking hats could be fun, add that to the list, but no, more she could use her magic tricks as far as strength and flight… Not that she was suggesting she was just going to pick up a random sandbox in a backyard in Bludhaven, but you know. She smiled innocently, she could make one happen and she wasn't talking just your simple everyday sand castles. Oh no. These were a little more… Of course her favourite sand castle usually involved Dick, but that probably wasn't always exactly kid friendly. Burying him. Covering him in sand. Ran playful goosebumps up her arms. It was fun testing his patience or even at times her own. Ah, boys… Although in his case, Kory would defiantly say a man. The sweetest man of them all. When you really allowed him to open up. See him for all the wonder and amazement that he was… Right now… It nothing short of the peace, Kory had wanted. Whether it was on the battle field or chocolate hunt or even going to the market. They were a team in every sense. Trust. Natural trust and comfort…
At the notion of the discussion of work, which Kory didn't want to make it seem less than important to her. She was more than delighted by the chances of working with Force, there was so much potential of someone truly amazing and ok, there was part of her that wanted to take her under her wing. Kory may seem all bubbles and sweet, but she very much a skilled trained warrior. She was much stronger than she looked… This of course as Kory sat upon the couch, putting the little stitching on the bunny ears. She certainly couldn't be mistaken in her uniqueness. Though, the surprise in the contrast, benefitted her quite well, whether or not it was intentional or not, who could know… Smiling humbly to herself as the conversation did start. There was something about Dick when he spoke like this, you just wanted to listen, well, until it was too much cuteness to take and it was just hard not to make out with him… Well, at least in the quieter times. That really didn't happen on patrol. Kory would never be his distraction. On tamaran when one was in battle, even in training, one had to be emotionally involved, which was why it had been a struggle to stop the killing instinct her race had, but with Dick's help. The retraining, not to say it hadn't been rough and there weren't some to come, it was almost becoming a new instinct. When in battle, there was almost a feeling of 'how can I harm this guy, without killing him', it was astounding when Kory was actually beginning to feel that… Kory was sure, Dick could answer Force's questions. She really didn't know about the FBI well enough to compare, but difference they wouldn't have a Nightwing. Nor a Starfire. A Supergirl or even a Wulfen. Arsenal was even harder to duplicate. Somehow Starfire could imagine Outsiders would be a little more low key and smaller. FBI was more well known, despite their secrets of course, but most people knew of them… Outsiders was also seeming to be a perfect group for metahumans and they were probably most likely going to hit crimes that was suited for these abilities. The other crimes would be abled to be taken care of the police or even the FBI themselves… For Kory really it was helping with the use of her abilities to stop high en crime. Save lives and most of all be along side others, she very much trusted. She was probably most tied to each teammate than the rest of them. Somehow caring for each other, Kory could assume was going to come whether or not it was avoided. There was very little convincing… Kory decorating of baskets and bunny ears really wasn't going to take long, but these was no rush either. Wasn't like she had put legs on any of the eggs… Well, there could be given she didn't plant them and she'd hardly put it past Cyborg if he had. That would almost be cute, but hardly unlikely. As with her pair of ears stitched. Kory spent time putting hers on her head. Which took a little adjusting with her thick red curly hair. Ears kept falling out, still she tried until it seemed they almost floated… Well, good enough. Kory not to deflated hands gently moved away not to cause it suddenly fall… Wondering if it was good. Smiling brightly, it certainly seemed to be…

"Because you have a choice," Dick replied to Force.
He looked down at her from where he stood. The questions almost reading in her eyes. There was no need to read minds over this. The matter was simple, a group of heroes out to fight crime in the city.
Similarities to the work she had done were glaring in her eyes. But she did not see it from their level. Why they did it. Not to just protect or lock away. There was more to their side than the FBI had seen.
"We will be taking on some work that is not always in the lines of the public's sight, yes. But we aren't out to destroy any one. We want to see justice brought to them in the right way," he continue.
He stopped for a moment, thinking this all out. The words he was saying. And how it must sound to her. The same promises and words that had probably passed her ears many times before this.
"Alright. So maybe to you it sounds like the field you once worked in. But there are many qualities to a team like this the FBI would not be able to gain. And we don't just protect this town. We are there for others," he tried again.

Though she's not familiar enough with the Nightwing costume to understand why Kory is suggesting that particular combination of nail-polish for Dick, that's one of those things that's actually easier to explain based on the picture in Kory's head than the words that she's using. And so she laughs with Kory at the suggestion.
But who can think about nail polish or other fun things when Dick is asking her about this of all things? It really makes her very uncomfortable. And if anything, his answer to her question only makes her visible discomfort grow. "But I did have a choice," she responds, frowning slightly as she adds, "I mean, some of them didn't think that I had a choice, but I did."
She frowns, looking at her shoes for a moment as she tries to figure out how to say what she needs to. There's a lot of things that she understands in her head, but translating the thoughts into words can be rather challenging at times. "The FBI weren't bad guys," she states with a frown, "You think they were bad guys because they didn't like you, but most of them were really good. They wanted to stop the bad guys so that the bad guys couldn't hurt the nice people in the city. You want to do the same thing. But the FBI didn't know that they were doing it the wrong way - they were really sure that they were doing it the right way until it didn't work. Instead they just hurt a lot of nice people, and didn't really stop any bad guys..." She pauses, frowning, figuring that he can see the difficulty she has in sorting all of this out. But though she can tell that he's confident about what he's saying... well, so were the FBI. It's a tricky, tricky thing for her.
"...Um, so how is it different?" she asks again, hoping for a better answer. She can tell that he's trying to be very sincere, so maybe if he tries again he'll have a better answer?

There was the nearby chat which Kory kept open too, of course being nosy wasn't such a given trait of hers… Although listening was kind of one of them. Kory kept mostly at bay with the easter gifts she was doing the finishing touches on. Soon chocolate would run down or more like cascade down the stairs. Well, ok that was maybe an over statement. Kory mildly amused and companied her thoughts. X'hal, could help that it wasn't so open, but Kory was well the joyous kind. As the smile naturally grazed her lips. The sun streaking through the windows… Which having gone through the many passing days under… Well, there was little need to recall. No. Today was very much about taking steps. Steps forward. Moving on. Stretching wings out, in a manor of speaking… Blushing at her cheeks mildly, as it was literal moments ago and many… Many moments after. One could hope, but Kory could be sure… With ribbons completely entwined, as crafty as Kory could be. Names stitched. Kory putting the baskets momently aside. With the ears now upon her head, floating in amongst her red hair. Picked up or brushed any loose threads that may have be fallen on her purple dress.
Before regaining back to her feet. With the other pair of ears in her hand. Hearing the words spoken and passed between. As the tamaranean stopped short between. If anyone was gonna give you reasons it was Dick, but Kory could be bias. Smiling slightly, she knew him as leader for most of her years spent on this planet and also knew more intimately. Somehow leadership was not all she saw, but she would ultimately follow him anywhere he'd ask. That was the trust… Kory couldn't know vastly about the FBI, her experiences with the government, hadn't always been so accepting of her kind. Also noting Kory hadn't known Force had worked among them, but that was hardly going to sway the friendship. Though Force with a badge would be rather endearing on her, if that was what an FBI carried, as much Kory could picture it and stepping closer.. With more of a vision of bunny ears, but x'hal just as endearing.… Kory made a simple sound out of kindness, not to disrupt or scare. The serious talk wasn't above her, she was very much a part of this team, well as much as she could, but soon she'd have to leave the Titans officially. Which Kory maybe not in such a hurry, it certainly would be strange, but oddly once a titan. Always a titan. Kory smiled, as Outsiders might not be so far from home. Dick very much was. Roy, a slight bonus.
