Ambrose was invited over to Kodi's apartment. He was happy to get to see his new friend in what would hopefully be good circumstances.
So he would make his way over to the apartment, knocking on the door, wearing his hoodie open, a white tee shirt and a pair of comfy shorts to hang out in.

Ambrose would end up waiting around for a good minute or so before the door finally swung open, revealing the mess of a human being that was Dakota. She wore her usual skimpy clothes, except her camo jacket was nowhere to be found. Her hair was matted and what seemed like random food stains attacked parts of her overshirt and skin, but still, she wore a cute little smile.
"Hi, sorry for the mess, I just woke up." She said with a yawn, stepping aside to allow Ambrose entrance.
Ironically, as he would notice, her apartment was very well kept. The decor was simple (and of course, nerdy), and as they passed the mostly empty bedrooms (except one of them had a bed and a few random pieces of furniture, and the other had a few boxes), and approached the living room, he would immediately notice that that was where she spent most of her time. There was a couch pushed up against the wall, a pallet between it and the entertainment center which housed all of her games, consoles, movies, and books, and next to it, a desk, where her triple monitor computer setup beamed all sorts of colorful lights into the otherwise dimly lit room.

As the door opened, he would give a calm but surprised expression. He didn't quite expect that. After a moment, he would just let out a giggle.
"Would you like a minute to go take a shower and wake up?"
After he walked in, he would notice all the decorum and machines. It was honestly a bit of a culture shock. He would find a spot to stand and just observe a bit.

"No, I'm fine," She said through a yawn, collapsing into a butterfly style position on the pallet, and turning back to meet his gaze.
"You can sit down, you know," She said, gesturing to both the pallet and the couch.

He seemed to get snapped out of his head when spoken too again. He would simply nod and take a spot beside her on the pallet. His posture was perfect from training.
"So how have you been?" He would ask kindly, observing Dakota closely.

As Ambrose sat down, she turned her attention to the TV, which was on a pause screen for whatever game she was playing the night prior. Her hands idly danced around on her knees as she thought about the question. How WAS she doing? She never really stopped to think about it, anymore.
"Okay, I think," She said with a little shrug. "I've had a lot on my plate recently. But more like, an abstract plate, if that makes sense." She explained with yet another shrug. She was an intelligent little creature, but not when it came to her feelings.
"What about you?" She then asked, finally turning to look at him, her smile as genuine as ever.

Ambrose would nod along, he understood what it was like to be emotionally busy.
"Well, that's good. You can have today too relax." He would say sweetly.
At her own smile, Ambrose would give a big smile back and say.
"Well. Pretty busy with a psychopathic turbo-midget. So this is an especially welcome treat."
He said this as though it were normal before looking to the screen.
"So this..."

A psychopathic...what?
Dakota tilted her head curiously. "I won't ask," She said impulsively, though she really was curious.
Turning back to the screen, as if meeting his gaze, she gave a little sheepish grin, a slight blush stroked across her cheeks.
"This is a video game," She murmured, as if embarrassed.

Ambrose would give a brief explanation.
"I hosted a community event to learn more about the strength of the other metas. Turbo-midget came and I learned that being a regular human just doesn't cut it in this world. So he offered to train me."
When the topic switched, he would stare enamoured at the screen for a bit. Dakota's voice would jump him back to reality and give a blush on his face as he let out a nervous chuckle and smile.
"Can I watch you play?" He would ask curiously.

Dakota allowed Ambrose to tell his tale, offering a thoughtful gaze as she listened along to his words. When he notioned watching her play her game, her attention immediately shot to the screen, and the usual blush that plagued her returned to caress her cheeks.
"Are you sure? Something tells me you wouldn't really like it." she murmured, turning her gaze away from him.

"I like you. Even if I don't enjoy what's on screen I'll enjoy the fact that I am hanging out with you."
He would say simply, looking at the screen with a smile.

Dakota just returned a quizzical gaze but said nothing. She wasn't so sure she was comfortable enough leaving him to his own devices while she entertained herself, even if he was perfectly content staring at a screen (that he probably wouldn't even understand). You should be able to both like a person and enjoy an activity, and she was determined to be a good host.
"Let's... pass on that for now. I don't really have a lot to do here, I'm still kinda settling in..." she explained, her head shrinking into her shoulders a bit. "So... what about a word game? Do you know any of those?"

Ambrose would meet her gaze curiously. He would move on mentally though, beginning to think about her question.
"A few, do you have one in mind?"
His smile would brighten up a bit, clearly excited to play a game.

"Guests' choice." she said with a purr, shifting around on the blankets to fully face him.

Ambrose would blush a bit before starting too think. After a few moments he would come to a conclusion.
"I'm debating between charades and 20 questions. You have a preference?"

Dakota considered the options for e moment, before, "I like questions," she said sheepishly, turning to him with shy eyes.

"So there are two known ways to play. We can ask questions about each other or we can play it where we pick something and you have to figure out what it is via 20 yes or no questions."
He would explain as though this weren't common knowledge.
"Which would you prefer?" He would say with an excited smile. Trying to help his friend perk up.

"The former is more practical. I want to learn more about you, so..." She murmured, idly tapping her fingers on the floor next to her.
"You first," she purred, bobbing her head from side to side wearing a cute, sheepish smile.

Ambrose would give a small blush and his own smile.
"So you're a Meta, but are you from this world? If not, what was your world like?"
He would ask with a soft smile, eyes aglow with curiosity.

"U-Um, sort of... It's complicated. W-Well, not actually that complicated, but I'd only make it sound complicated..." She murmured, turning her gaze to the floor and swiping at her bangs.
