Kori knew she had every reason to be mad at Dark, but once she looked at her, it was a little difficult to remain so. Her appearance now was a far cry from the facade of toughness she'd shown just a few minutes ago in front of Madison. Her posture, her soft-spoken manner, her downward gaze; Kori couldn't help but think of a sad little puppy. How could she be mad at that?<br/><br/>She took a deep sigh to calm herself, before she addressed Dark once. "Look. First of all, don't call me Miss. It sounds stupid, and I'm pretty sure you're not stupid. Second, I'm not mad about having to back you up against Madison. I'd do it again if I had to, but that doesn't mean you should go mouthing to someone's who pretty much has the whole school in the palm of her hand. You don't want that type of bad rep."<br/>She placed the Dicken book into her open palms and gave her a light pat on the shoulder. "Chin up, though. You did humble that bitch Madison for a while. That's a lot more than most people can say." Korina said with a reassuring smile.
