Koriand'r has posed:
A night after holidays, excitement and joy! Kori was all for it and she'd made the most of it...and yet now while others rested and recovered she was currently lounging in the depths of the hot-tub. Hair down and wrapped in a swimsuit, the young alien princess had her eyes closed as steam rose around her in her quiet comfort.

Vivian Vision has posed:
With mostly New York based family gatherings (and visits to her friends) taking up most of the big day itself Vivian has saved seeing her fellow Titans for the day after. Flying over to Metropolis with a small selection of gifts to drop off, safely packed away inside a messenger bag, the synthezoid touches down on the rooftop. Having tapped into the sensors and security systems to verify herself from a distance away.

"Good day Miss Koriand'r," she starts, then with a frown she adds "Or should I just call you Kori? My etiquette look up table suggests that as you are royalty I should use a formal title. But that seems.. odd. I would like to hope we are friends and I am okay to use a shortening of your name?"

She pauses a beat. "Oh and I am sorry it is late but I got you a little something. Just a token of appreciation for both you and Karolina. Do not worry though I do not expect anything in return."

Koriand'r has posed:
Kori had showered people with gifts, sweets, stuffed animals and more...was it really that suprising that Starfire got right into the spirit of the holiday? Still when Vivian moves closer and speaks to her she smiles, turning over in the tub and resting her elbows on the edge. "Of course we are friends!" she offers lightly before tilting her head to the side. "I would be happy to accept your gifts!"

Vivian Vision has posed:
"But is it okay for me to call you Kori?" Viv wonders. "Or should I use the more formal Koriand'r?" She blinks a few times and then shrugs. "I got you both matching lockets. Yours has a drawing of Karolina in and hers has a drawing of you in. Sealed so they won't get ruined if they get wet and made from materials resilient enough to survive a superhero battle."

The synthezoid moves closer to the hot tub and ducks down, getting the locket out from her bag of gifts. Holding it out for Kori. "I hope you like it. If not I can always make a new locket." It's not a very complex design. Durable metal in a little heart shape with engravings with a space theme.

Koriand'r has posed:
The locket brings a little soft 'Ooooh!" of excitement before she sets it aside lest it get damaged by the hot tub. Leaning up to plant an innocent little peck on Vivian's cheek the orange-skinned alien sinks down and stretches out. "You are welcome to call me whichever you like...and you are welcome to join me, if you wish!

Vivian Vision has posed:
Vivian Vision tilts her head. "Oh do not worry about the water. I say 'drawing' but I used a diamond tipped industrial tool and enhanced my strength. Then drew directly into the metal. Technically I guess that it's an engraving rather than a drawing.. It's made of a tungsten alloy with various coatings from GIRL. It's not indestructible but it's about as close as I could make it without accessing exotic materials. Just don't fly directly into a star with it on. Or subject it to Kryptonian level forces."

She glances at the hot tub, then down at herself.

"That is a tempting offer Kori," she blushes a little. "Although I don't think I have any swimsuits in the Tower. It'd take me a while to get back to school to fetch one. Even when I move out, which will be soon, I'm most likely going to be getting a place in New York to take a year out to decide what direction I wish my life to proceed down."

Koriand'r has posed:
"I have many," Kori offers lightly, gesturing to the door. "You can borrow something if you like!" Apparently the contruction of her gift was simply taken in her stride, because of course Viv could do that!

As for moving out she tilts her head and nods. "Karolina and I have a place, and I had one in New York for a while. You can keep your room here too, as I did, if need be!"

Vivian Vision has posed:
"Oh I have never formally requested a room here," Vivian explains. "I was attending boarding school and do not really own many things. I had no need for a place to store them. There are all sorts of issues with my owning a place or even renting. I was really unsure what to do until I spoke to Janet about it.. Thankfully I have her full support for just... taking the time to figure things out."

She looks at Starfire and then coughs slightly. "I'm sure you own several but I don't think any would fit me! My build is not really... going to suit your clothing." She laughs. "Or if it does then it must be very uncomfortable when you wear it."

Koriand'r has posed:
"Maybe just a shirt then?" she teases lightly, a bite of her lip and a little nod as she looks down at herself before stretching out. "But it is your choice, I am simply intending to relax here with a mug of cider and watch the city while soaking. I will not be going anywhere for a while..."

Vivian Vision has posed:
Vivian Vision ponders her choices. "I could just take anything important out of my pockets." She muses to herself. "And then remove my shoes and socks. Allow my phasing to remove all the dirt from everything else I'm wearing and simply join you as I am." She shrugs. "When I get out I will just phase again and all the water will drip out. And you'd never know I was in the hot tub at all."

She offers a tentative smile, hoping the suggestion isn't too weird, and adds "If that's okay with you Kori? I would certainly like to chat with you some more."
