despite getting discharged out the infirmary     a short while ago, and being advised to rest as much as possible ( basically, do not leave your damn bed ), cora was in the mood for video gaming ... and what better way to satiate their need than to sneak in ... well, she guesses her now boyfriend’s room and compete against his maverick skillset? frankly, cora still couldn’t fully comprehend the situation at hand. it’s been a month or so since the STYX “incident”  and her brush with death’s sweet grip, yet her concept of time was beyond messed up. many would be scarred to the point of no hope for salvation, but oh, cora was not many, unfortunate souls which fell to lethe river. maybe there was something to thank her bastard of an “old man”, after all ... but, now’s not the time for dark humored jokes. the hurt was present, yet slowly dispersing the more she sat alongside idia whose cocky smile and tone would’ve irritated her, but now brought a myriad of glee and giddiness. 
such changes felt rapid, yet more than welcome. here she was, believing the elder of two despised her guts for treating him horribly, despite so many issues happening to them both, but this only proved her wrong  -  could she finally stop being strong, just once? maybe she can finally, once and for all, show a smile ... one that was relaxed, joyful and full of overwhelming love for this adorable nerd.

however, if idia really thought she’d be any nicer just because they finally came clean of the filth piling on both their backs and now pursue a relationship, then he’d be dead wrong. it didn’t take long for cora’s snarky smile to return on her face, hands taking hold of her own controller.   ❛ look at you, getting cocky with your high score ... ~ talk about being ‘fair’, eh? ❜    she pauses to adjust on his bed as comfortably as possible, icy blue eyes looking back at yellows with a hint of coyness.  ❛ wow... i’m in trouble, now. look how scared i am. ❜   the sarcasm couldn’t be more than obvious at this moment, though cora ends up chuckling.   ❛ keep yapping, i’ll just listen and wait until i make you eat all your words ~ ❜   familiar jingles tuned out the screen, which now showed a character and vehicle selection.  ❛ hmmm...wanna use default characters or go for custom? you’re the maverick, here ~ ❜
