Koriand'r has posed:
Heroics, a day job as a supermodel and a complete lack of a secret identity thanks to being an incredibly recognisable tall alien beauty with flaming hair...was it any wonder that Koriand'r needed some time away? Despite the still somewhat cool weather, Kori was once more here on the rooftop, her form wrapped in a one-piece swimsuit that might show just as much, if not less than some of her usual costume and laying lounging in the water of the pool with her gaze out on the city-scape.

Damian Wayne has posed:
Robin was visiting the Towers for other things, but hearing that Kori was up on the roof, took the time to come up. He carries a stryofoam cup with coffee in it and a small box that smells of warm pastry as he finds her by the pool and comes over to take a seat in one of the chairs.

"Looks like it's going to be a nice day." he offers to her as he sets down the box. "How have you been, Kori?" Yes, she's an OG, but with the abscence of Dick, Damian's taken it upon himself to check in on them now and again.

Koriand'r has posed:
It wasn't hard to bribe the Tamaranian with food if it was done right, and most were aware of the alien woman's favorite condiment after all...but it wasn't the -only- thing she'd tolerate. Lifting her gaze as she hears him approach, almost certainly because he -wasn't- trying to hide from her, she looks up with a smile. "Damian, it is a pleasure to see you...I have bean busy, but I am enjoying a wonderful chance to relax where I can."

A beat, she considers with a tilt of her head. "Last time I was up here, many others flew by to talk to us, but today it seems quite quiet."

Damian Wayne has posed:
Sipping his coffee, Damian lifts open the box, allowing her a peek of the little Valentine's heart shaped donuts, carefully drizzled with mustard. Just in case someone forgot her for the day. A little late, but he's been busy.

"People think I'm incapable of relaxing." he admits with a small smirk. "When I was younger, that was certainetly true. but hopefully? I'm getting better at it."

Then a chuckle. "I don't think anyone's advertised that you're up here sunbathing, or we'd have a lot more company." That said teasingly, his amused eyes hidden behind his sunglasses. "Anything going on that you need help with or anything? Yes, this is totally a Tamaranian welfare check."

Koriand'r has posed:
Valentines treats? Certainly Kori who was well enough known for her affection and the Tamaranian approach to romance wasn't a stranger to them. Nor was she going to refuse as she comes to turn over, reaching to fish one of the treats out. Even if she hadn't been forgotten, she was going to enjoy the pastry.

"Mmmpf," she agrees with a little laugh muffled by the food before stretching out. "Maybe, but then that's not hard to find me doing such, my powers are as fueled by the stars as Superman's."

A welfare check? She blinks, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "I am well, truly! If anything, I have been worried that I have not been able to offer as much support as I would like to my friends among the Titans."

Damian Wayne has posed:
They're friendship donuts more than anything. Damian has become more aware of certain aliens needs to sunbathe - Kara has taken to the roof of Wayne Manor to do so a couple of times, after all.

"I'm sure they would know you will be there to help." he assures her, "This isn't like... a 'you're slacking off' thing. Just, you know. Making sure everything's good."

He's trying to be a friend. He's not very good at it.

Koriand'r has posed:
Seeing Kara and Kori sunbathe together might be the stuff of some calander dreams or flights of fancy, but it had been plenty common at the tower for a time. Not that Kori would ever consider there being something wrong with them doing so, or others appreciating the sight...such things had been perfectly normal on her homeworld.

"I appreciate it," Kori offers, trailing her fingertips through the water and then looking back towards Damian. "And you? Are you doing okay? I feel like we haven't spoken since Gabby..."

Damian Wayne has posed:
Taking a sip from his coffee, Damian shakes his head. "There's no need to be sad over Gabby, Kori." he promises. "She needed to find her sister, and it was a mutual parting of ways. We will remain friends." he is pretty sure on that. And Damian is probably the last one to cause any type of romantic drama. "I have been seeing Kara Zor-El." he offers up.

"I met with her... in a similar way to you. Just checking on someone that has not been around as much. Making sure she was okay. And we just kinda realized we have a shared experience and feeling and are acting on it. It is... unique."

Koriand'r has posed:
Excitement, brightness, positivity returned to Koriand'r's face with that news as surely as a flood might fill a river, Kori sitting up with a little noise of joy. "That is wonderful! She is very pretty, friendly, certainly an excellent lover to have!"

The story brings a nod, the grinning alien lifting a hand. "Our lives are strange, unique in themselves. My own dearest is a fellow model...but she is also sometimes channeling an ancient warrior spirit and wielding a sword. It is best to embrace this uniqueness and all the joy it can bring!"

Damian Wayne has posed:
"When you put it that way, Kara dating a guy that moonlights breaking kneecaps and swinging across the city in bright colors sounds positively normal." Damian responds and stiffles a yawn, "Speaking of. I had patrol last night. Just wanted to drop in before I return to bed. Be good to yourself, Kori. And call if you need us."

And with that, he heads back inside to catch a ride back to Gotham.
