Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake is down in the roost today overseeing some robots he has moving furniture. He seems to be setting up one of the spare bedrooms. It looks sorta like a dorm room, but one of the things of note being put in there is a kick ass computer. Not quite up to Tim or Nikki's but a really good one none the less.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki has actually been missing for a couple days. Though 'missing' is putting it heavily. She did text Tim to let him know she was in New York, and that she was likely going to stay with a friend for a couple days to catch up and such. Just...WHERE she was is likely bound to make anyone who knows of the place go ... what? ... As she steps into the roost, she watches the robots that are moving furniture around and moves until she's by Tim's side. Red Bull in hand, complete with a straw, which she drinks through. "What's up?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over and smiles. He steps closer and gives her a hug, and a kiss on the cheek, since she is in mid drink. "Hey there gorgeous." He greets her "Oh, we got a new outsider, I have been talking to for a while joining us. She specializes in magic, so it will be good to have someone who can tell us about that type of stuff. She is also a computer person, I let her know your the head computer person here so she is looking forward to meeting you.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki leans her cheek into the kiss since she's mid-drink. Once she's done she nudges against Tim affectionately and gives him a smile. "Oh? What's their name?" Asking this before watching again and looking into the spare room. She takes note of the computer set up, realizing it's not like hers but not too shabby and nods. "Nikki isn't really like... the head computer person... she just likes computers..." Trying to diminish her worth - which she's really good at. "How're you?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over and says "Well your my main computer person, and Ah trust ya to advice me when I am out in the field. That should tell ya something hon." He smiles at her and says "I am doing pretty good, and her name is Willow." He will pull out a tablet, and bring up an entry on Willow, that Nikki can see,

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki thinks for a moment and then smiles. "I suppose that makes sense..." She offers and that smile turns into a grin. "I'd like to meet them too." She offers this much before taking another sip from her red bull. When he brings up the entry, she looks it over, and gives a little nod. "The name sounds...somewhat familiar...not sure why."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Well if you ran into her in the past few months, she may have been a bit darker than normal. Her darker instincts had overridden her normal for a while." He explains. He keeps his arm around Nikki "So, how was your stay?""

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Oh..." Maybe it was before then, or maybe not at all. Could be Nikki heard the name in passing. At that last question, she drains the rest of her drink and tosses the can into the recycler. "It was good. I went to a place called Lux and ran into my friends Nick and Nathaniel. Had a few drinks and caught up a bit.. but I was too tipsy to walk home so Nathaniel offered me a room at the hotel they have. Pretty swanky place..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit to this but says "Did you have fun?" He asks her not judging her maybe a bit surprised she got tipsy but not judging no.
