Hallbjorn ate while Kara spoke of the things that she wished to take from Jackrabbit Junction. They all sounded like things that had a deep personal connection. It made sense to him that she would want all of those things with her. He did not think that she would ever forget her parents - Kara did not seem like the type of person who would do that.<br/><br/>When they were both finished and Kara proposed that they do the dishes together, he nodded. He was used to doing it alone and was fine with letting her get out of it, but since she seemed to want to do it, that was alright. He washed and left the drying to Kara. It did not take very long to accomplish the task since there were very few dishes and none of the cooking had left baked on residue or hard to remove bits. The pan had a non-stick coating on that made it easy to clean and it was dirtiest thing. But in no time at all the two of them were finished with the task, and the cleaned and dried dishes were stored back where they belonged. There was a step in the kitchen for Kara now, and the highest shelves were now within her grasp.<br/><br/>When they were finished, he picked up the frame pictures that were meant for the bedroom, and detoured in the living room to collect pillows to return to the bed. He carried things up the stairs with Kara by his side. He returned the pillows to the bed and he set the framed image of Kara alone with her ring on the nightstand on his side of the bed, folding out the little stand in the back of the frame so it could stand up. Hallbjorn took Kara into his closet and undressed, changing into a pair of black silk pajama pants. Then it was her turn to get ready for bed, and he followed into her closet.<br/><br/>They settled into the bed, using one of the new blankets that Kara chose. The large man lay on his back and put an arm around Kara, holding her close to his body. She fit beside him perfectly. "Do you want to watch some television now, or are you ready to go to sleep?" The blond male asked his mate softly. His hair was loose and formed a white blanket beneath him, some straying over his chest but only a few errant strands.
