Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake has invited Nikki over to his house. He is not sure if she would want to watch or maybe play it, but with the release of the new Diablo game, he figured she might want to try it, and who has better net speed than Tim... well maybe Babs, but hey she has better net speed than the government.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki has come to Tim's house, excited for the idea of a new video game, but also happy to see him again. "Tim can play it if he wants and Nikki can watch. Nikki doesn't mind..." She'll likely play it herself sometime soon and it's very likely she's already been able to play it some due to her ties with both Blizzard and Hi-Rez Studios. Perks can be great sometimes. "How's Tim been?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over and says "I am doing ok, I thought you might want to play we can do something else if you want. I had a friend of mine drop off some food for tonight, both finger food and a real meal if we want it."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles. "Maybe we could watch a movie and have finger food. Nikki's just happy to spend time with Tim." Then she bites her lower lip some. "Happy to spend time with...you. Right? You for the now times..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles over to her, and nods. He will show her to a place to sit down and says "I will be right back." He leaves her in the living room letting her look around as he goes to get the food.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles and nods, but she doesn't quite sit down yet. Instead she takes a little gander over things, but keeps her hands to herself. Mostly just trying to catch a glance into the life that is Mister Tim Drake.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake living room is clean, either he spends time at it or has someone come in and do it (thankfully Alfred knows some good services). The room does seem to get some time spent in it though signs people do hang out here now and again. Tim comes back shortly with a wheeled cart with some platters or a wide array of different finger food and a basin with ice and soda and waters in the bottom of it "Seems I was left with a bit more than I thought." He admits.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki turns and glances to the wheeled cart, eyebrows lifting just a bit. "It seems so...don't think...the two of us...can eat all that." She laughs at that and then bee lines to grab a soda off the bottom of the cart. "This is a nice place Ti--you--have. Ni..I..like it." A blush colors her cheeks then as she stumbles over her words and phrases.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles a bit and does notice she is trying, he is not sure if he should mention it and tell her she is doing well or go like it is normal "Yea Alfred makes sure we have enough stuff.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"...I would like to meet Alfred. He seems nice." Nikki pops open the soda and takes a drink. "So. When you're not working, do you have any...hobbies that Ti--you--like doing?" Focusing on the conversation helps a little.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "A few, I do like making things and playing on the computer, so sometimes, the whole work and hobby blend together, I know you know how that can be, I also collect superhero memorabilia. He admits. Tim has sponsored a few in his day and been part of many more."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki raises a brow. "Superhero stuff? Can Nikki see?! She loves seeing stuff like that. It reminds her of when she was saved by a superhero." A chuckle comes from her then as she sips on her soda some more.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods a bit and its a button on the cart and it closes and he says "Sure follow me." He did grab a soda and heads to lead her upstairs to a different room "Sure follow me." He offers her his hand

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki blushes a little but does take his hand as he moves to lead her upstairs. Actually trying to maybe entwine her fingers with hers as she follows him up. "It must get awful lonely livin' in a big house like this all alone. Are you a lone here? Do you have roommates?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head and says "Had someone lived with me for a while, but she had to move out as she went overseas to check into some things.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki frowns some. "Sorry to hear that." Cause she was being taught that sometimes she doesn't have to really indicate herself at all when speaking. She gives his hand a little squeeze as they head upstairs. "Nikki might get lost living in a place like this." Such said with a giggle.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles a bit and says "It used to be a movie theater, I bought it and redid it, I got rooms for pretty much anything I decide to add on." He admits. He leads her into the room which has quite a few things in it, some tables set up with things on them, as well as the shelves on the wall.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"It really does look nice... did you keep at least one theater room to watch movies and such in?" Nikki asks this while he leads her into the show room and her eyes go a bit big. "Woah. And this is like...legit stuff right? Or are they replicas?" Asking as she steps further in and goes to one of the first tables on the left. Hands shove into her pockets so she's not tempted to touch anything.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "Legit as I can make sure of, some I have bought of auctions, but like the blue fur, I had it tested to make sure it was not fake, and then once I confirmed it, I had all the tests results destroied," He admits

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki nods. "Who did the blue fur belong to?" Asking this as she looks over whatever else can be seen. Weapons, tools, perhaps a mask or whole outfit? After a moment she turns to Tim. "Why such a fascination with hero stuff?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "I have a few friends who are in the Titans, got to meet them through charity events and other things, and it drew my attention. The fur is from Dr. Henry McCoy, I made sure there is no roots on it though." He admits. It also gives a decent excuse if Tim Drake is seen around some of the more open heroes, but he keeps that part to himself."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki's eyes light up a bit and she giggles. "Nikki's met Dr. McCoy! He was out in Mutant Town and she was dumpster diving. Well, she had been. Then she went into Frank's Diner and he happened to step in. He's a hero?" A turn so she can keep looking over things. "This stuff is really cool."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake fibs a little bit as he says "Well I can't say for sure, but know he has done some stuff to help people at a couple speeches he was at to help people and it is enough to count for me." He tells her "I have not had the pleasure of actually meeting him."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Nikki's also met a man named Nathaniel Essex. And a daemon named Askante." She proudly admits and then keeps that smile while shifting to walk back over to Tim's side. "Do these auctions happen often? Nikki would like to go to one. Maybe she can collect stuff too!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake makes a soso motion "More often online, but I will keep an eye out and next time there is one going on with a physical presence we can go. With your traveling for gaming you have your passport up to date right?"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki nods. "Aye. It doesn't expire for another six years. She can keep an ear out too, when she's going off on tournaments or something." Then she reaches to take his hand again. "Nikki wants to thank Tim. For being so nice, and the dates and all that. She really likes him a lot."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "I like you to Nikki, and spending time with you is very fun." He tells her and leans in and kisses her cheek. Not sure if she is ok with more yet.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki blushes at that kiss to her cheek, and then she turns to face him a bit better, leaning in to press her forehead to his. It's likely the closest to any sort of affection she's used to showing. "Nik--I--I'm...really happy to hear that."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods and will rest his forehead to hers. He looks into her eyes and says "I am glad, and am hearing I or Nikki," He tells her trying to make sure she knows he does not mind if she changes or not.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki finally pulls back, but does return a favor by kissing him on the cheek as she does. "So, wanna go watch that movie and hang out on the couch for a while?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will nod and leads her back down stairs to where they can watch a movie on the huge screen and snack on the stuff Alfred made for them
