“What do you want for dinner?” Ahsoka asked, plopping down onto the couch and pulling her legs up underneath herself. She was hungry and was more inclined to order out than try to actually …. cook anything.

Though to be entirely fair she wasn’t very fond of cooking.

“We could do take out, or go out somewhere and socialize like normal aliens and demons.”

Raven had been levitating above her spot on the couch and reading when Ahsoka asked the question on what they should eat and the half demon blinked as she marked her spot in the book, tilting her head to the side in thought.

“Good question. Haven’t thought about it.”

Which...not surprising when Raven had a tendency to get lost in her reading if given the option.

“Eww. Socializing.” Still didn’t answer the question, “Indian? Both meat and vegetarian options though…”

“You should try to socialize at least once every month or two,” Ahsoka teased. Raven was the definition of introvert, which was one of the things Ahsoka liked about her. Some crushes never died, merely faded away. “We can do Indian take out, get something for each of us.”

She ran her hands up her lekku, “I really miss veggies sometimes.” Teen!Ahsoka would be appalled at how reliant she was on meat. “Just never quite enough for the stomach pain I’d be in for if I ate some.”

“Gross. And I’m guessing you’re going to take Dick’s line where me going to see him and Ruby once a week doesn’t count?” Raven’s nose was scrunched up but she wasn’t actually bothered. It was a fairly normal thing for her to be told and at least it wasn’t ‘be a normal teenager ignore your abilities and need to help people’ that had made her feel so out of sorts before.

“Yeah, that would definitely not be worth it.” Would Raven have been able to adjust to a meat only diet? That was hard to say. Empathy made it a bitch to eat meat. Not that she had before so her body didn’t process it and she did eat it in some of the Dreams. Either way though? She was glad that despite her appearance change, her dietary restrictions hadn’t.

"That only counts a little," Ahsoka allowed. And it was probably more socialization than she herself got these days, outside of work which actually did require her talk to people if she wanted to help them. But that wasn't personal. Did Anakin count? Barriss? Probably not.

Some days she really wished Rex was around and not just to help her with Anakin. (And to be entirely fair Rex was as likely to do crazy things as the rest of them and it was a miracle he'd survived the war)

"That's why I keep you around, to live vicariously through you." Ahsoka never ate anything that was like, straight up slabs of meat around Raven, at least. She was considerate!

“Ha. Partial socialization, I’ll take it.” It was hard to say what did or did not count. She had helped Lucifer with his wing situation but again, that was just helping someone. It didn’t count as what most would call socialization. There was Kory as well who was actually in Orange County? But why did she need to meet people if she already had friends?

She did miss the Teen Titans though, even Beast Boy (not that she’d admit that one). Even so, she was good with her current and small group of people who were hers.

“Ah, I knew it.” She did appreciate the fact Ahsoka didn’t eat straight up slabs of meat around her at least. Some people wouldn’t care or like to be all ‘look what you’re missing out on I can’t believe you don’t eat meat’ and all sorts of obnoxious commentary.

“Okay.” Ahsoka pulled out her phone and looked up the nearest Indian place. She listed off a few vegetarian menu items once she’d figured out what she wanted. “Any of that sound good?”

Raven was pretty good at finding things on the vegetarian menu of places, especially when it came to Indian food and so she nodded at the question.

“Yep, there’s a few options there I like.”

“Guess I’m surprising you then,” Ahsoka said, sticking her tongue out. She called in the order, then leaned back in the couch, phone dropping into her lap. She could get there in two minutes and wait another 10, or she could leave in 10 minutes and pick it up as soon as she got there.

Better to stay in, anyway.

“What do you think we’re going to be in for this year?”

Raven certainly wasn’t going to say anything about the decision to wait at the house first instead of go and then have to wait at the restaurant. In the end the time would remain the same. So instead she tilted her head to the side some at the question on what they were in for this year.

“No clue. I figure it’s best no to try and predict. It just leads to headaches.”

“The older part of me wants to prepare for it, the younger part of me wants to take it by the seat of my pants.” Ahsoka grinned at her, “Maybe I’ll just plants it!”

She should have seen that coming, she really should have seen it coming. It wasn’t as if Raven hadn’t dreamt of teammates who would make similar comments. Which meant she just groaned at how predictable that was.

“Well unfortunately for the older part of you, there’s no way to monitor or detect things before they cross over or where they would cross over from. So I guess younger you wins this round.”

Ahsoka probably would make a great Teen TItan. She kept grinning at Raven when she groaned, like somehow that was mission accomplished.

“Seat of the pants it is!” She hopped up. “I should probably get these pants to pick up the take out though, huh?”

Raven certainly felt that Ahsoka probably would have fit in well with the Teen Titans. Then again, it could be argued Raven probably could have fit in with the Jedi as well. Perhaps that was one of the reasons they got along despite the differences that most would notice and not understand.

“Yeah, probably a good idea.”

“Man the fort, I’ll be back in a bit.” Ahsoka floated her keys off of a table and caught them when they were close. She winked, then bounded out the door.

Shaking her head some, Raven watched as Ahsoka left before she went back to her book. Food would be here soon enough, for now she had a chapter to finish.
