Snippet #1836422

Kore tilted her to the side and stared at Conor. He'd gone silent after the 'not exactly' and now seemed to be deep in thought, considering what she had said. She wasn't quite sure why, although she did have a faint feeling that she and Conor were fundamentally different. Something about being...what was the word?

She couldn't remember.

Finally, Conor seemed to come out of his trance and asked her, curiously, "So, is there... Anything else you can... Do?"

The question took Kore by surprise. It wasn't one that she was expecting to hear, and she didn't know how to respond to it. Was there anything else that she could do? Well, she could breathe and walk and talk - but he had already seen all of that. She obviously healed faster than he did - there was a possibility that she digested faster as well, but that had yet to be confirmed. She glanced at the kitchen absently, before returning to the question at hand. What else could she do? That was actually a good question - she wasn't even sure what the right answer was. If there was a right answer.

After a moment, Kore shrugged helplessly and opened her mouth to say, "I'm not sure what you mean - I mean - I breathe - air? But I don't think I have to. I can make plants move. They listen to me. I can make them grow faster, too. I -"

"Conor ~ Hey, Conor ~"

Distracted by the call, Kore broke off in the middle of her sentence and glanced away from Conor's eyes and turned to face the rest of the diner. A brunette with blond streaks in her chocolately locks was waving over at them. She had on light, glitter eyeshadow and mascara and looked as if they doubled the length of her eyelashes. It was a pretty effect, and Kore admired it, although it was a bit distracting. The girl seemed to be with a few friends, to whom she said a few words and then patted one guy on the back before making her way over to Conor and Kore's table.

She slid into the seat next to Conor and smiled at him warmly. "Hey, Conor. How're you doing? If you were going to just come to Pizza Hut, you should have just come with us." Her eyes flicked to Kore and she cocked her head to the side and smiled. "Or is this a date~?"
