Owner Pose
Sarah Rainmaker It was sometime later in the evening, and she was running around the track. Not particularly fast, just repeatedly. Not up on the rooftops for a change. Sarah Rainmaker would be running around again and again, not pushing her limits, but just going for as far as she could. Panting, coming over to a stop and having not paid attention to how long she had been going.

Sweating, if not exhausted.. Hand going up, control of the water being used to pull the sweat off her, then taking the air to make a breeze, turn it to water with a wave of a hand, then bring it spraying down on herself.
Koriand'r Returned from dealing with crime, patrol and a little quantum chaos, Kori arrives into the gym. Out of her usual costume, the orange-skinned young woman was wrapped in a pair of workout shorts and a midriff-baring sports top that was really just as modest as her usual costume for 'heroics'. Pausing in the doorway or only a moment, she was headed for the weights....

"Sarah, it is good to see you!"
Sarah Rainmaker The amazon orange alien coming towards her has Sarah wave and pant, "Hello Koriand'r, how are you doing?" She would smile. "I hope that everything has been going well with you." She would offer while pausing, going to admire the other woman's physique.
Koriand'r "I am well," Kori offers, stepping towards the other woman as her path diverges and instead coming to stop within touching distance. Something easily demonstrated by the touch of her hand to the other girl's back. "How are you? Are you feeling better since the last time we spoke? More comfortable here?"
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would shake her head softly, "No, worse." She would reply sadly. "Things are getting worse than they already are and will keep on doing so. And I've seen what would have happened to me.. What could happen to me.." She would shiver. Leaning in to the touch.
Koriand'r Kori shifts this time, reassurance intended and slow-burn abandoned as she sweeps arouns the other woman and simply turns that shoulder touch into a proper embrace from behind. She didn't need to be an empath to escalate the comfort, she knew full well how Sarah had been last time, so her body simply pressed against the other heroine with a warm, firm hug.
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would accept the hug, closing her eyes and resisting the urge to sob. It wasn't there. There was just the comfort of that cling from Koriand'r. "That's what I am to become if they get me. Just someone to casually go out and torture. That's what they've done to anyone they captured."
Koriand'r "I do not know which foe harmed you," Kori speaks, her head resting against Sarah's own and leaving her to speak softly. "But, it is a truth that many of them would torment or kill us if they could. It is part of what makes them them, and persisting is what makes us..."

She trails off, a little squeeze given. "But I am here Sarah, but a call away and I will come to your aid..."
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would close her eyes, "My family. Not that they ever were.. But they're what would have happened to me if.." She was the lucky one. She lived a life that was mostly free. Her half siblings.. Did not.

"Thank you, I'm sorry." She would cling to Starfire.
Koriand'r Kori knew what it was to be imprisoned, tormented, even enslaved. Of course, she didn't need to share such tales with Sarah, only her sympathy and the strength of her embrace to the young woman she held. A little peck of her lips to Sarah's cheeks was given without thought or hesitation, the Tamaranian offering the comfort and reassurance as best she can.
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would close her eyes, finally allowing herself to cry, "I'm sorry, thank you, and I'm a bit of a mess now. Thank you, I needed that." She would take a few breaths. "And I do feel better. And.. I'm not infringing on your space now, am I?"
Koriand'r "Never," Kori offers, her form still pressed to Monet and clearly not concerned with the idea of being discovered or feeling any embarassment from the extended contact. "I want you to feel better, to know you are not alone." A smile, her cheek rubs lightly against Sarah's own. "You're cared for, loved...and you will always be rescued if you need it."
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would close her eyes, "Thank you. I.. That means a lot to me. And you are making me feel a lot better. Thank you." She would close her eye sand lean in to the taller woman. Taking a few breaths and shivering and shuddering. "Thank you."
Koriand'r Sweat, tears, whatever it would be, Kori simply seems unbothered. Her workout forgotten and likely having been less needed than simple mental release. Something easily no longer a concern with Saraha needing more. Her grasp shifts lightly, scooping Sarah into a bridal carry with little ceremony and smiling lightly. "Come, you will shower and we will relax, I promise. I will be with you as long as you need."
Sarah Rainmaker She's lifted so easily. It's easy to forget wiht how soft Starfire is that she's also strong. Sarah's dark cheeks would flush as she would wrap her arms over around the taller woman. Then she would close her eyes and go in to kiss Koriand'r. Timidly at first. Presuming it was allowed or returned, she might try a litlte more intensely.
Koriand'r The carry doesn't break, doesn't falter or even waver, but the kiss is returned with that same ease, that same warmth and comfort Kori had offered. Of course she wouldn't be too forceful, but Sarah's own intensity would be easily matched with that same passion that Koriand'r people were famous for.
Sarah Rainmaker Sarah Rainmaker would close her eyes, "I, I'm sorry, this was inappropriate of me." She's seeing stars over and her already dark skin is flushed even moreso. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." She's soft and confused as seh's taken in to the showers.
Koriand'r "No," Koriand'r offers lightly, pausing as they enter the showers but not continuing further as they speak. "It is not inappropriate or unwelcome..."

Starfire pauses, settling Sarah down on her feet gently. "As long as it is what you want..." she leans in, this next kiss (if permitted) lingering longer, long enough to shorten breath before she draws back just enough that her breath would be felt on Sarah's lips. "I am here, and I am going to shower and return to my room...you are welcome to join me."
Sarah Rainmaker With a fierce blush on her face, Sarah Rainmaker would timidly nod over at Koriand'r, "Ah, I.." The look of uncertainty on her face. But also that of a girl desperately needing some level of companionship. "... Thank you. You're too good a person." She would hold the taller woman tightly as she would return the kiss more.
Koriand'r A smile, the kiss is once more repeated before her hands gently draw back from the hug, the offer clearly standing as Starfire's touch instead strokes Sarah's cheek lightly. "As are you," she offers brightly before grinning lightly. She could see the uncertainty on Sarah's face after all and instead offers her hand out to her once more. "There's a shower in my room too...if you'd prefer not to be alone at all..."
Sarah Rainmaker There's a timid nod from Sarah, "I.. I think I don't want to be alone right now." She would offer timidly over then and go to lean in over against Koriand'r, gesturing to the carrot-skinned alien to take her along.
