Hallbjorn's arms felt good as they wrapped around her. The small smile he'd given her made Kara sigh happily. But instead of admiring that smile, she kept her face pressed to his chest until the worst of her dizziness passed. Some of it still plagued her when she tilted her head up and rested her chin on his chest.<br/><br/>“I'm sorry, Hallbjorn. I didn't mean to discombobulate both of us. I was just so excited to be able to finally do it.” Her lips turned up in a smile as she added, “And it was because of you that I could. My need to be close to you helped me to ride the wind.”<br/><br/>Kara's brow furrowed slightly. “I hope that you don't mind that I need to be with you so much. I know you have been alone for a long time, and it has to be difficult to adjust to having someone constantly around. You've been so thoughtful, so wonderful, with the way you've stayed by my side. Even when you went downstairs earlier this morning, I could hear you stomping around, and it made me breath easier.”<br/><br/>Her dizziness cleared up quickly, and she was glad it didn't linger. Hallbjorn's idea to try going to the gate first was a good one, but first Kara wanted to make sure he knew how much she appreciated everything he had done for her, and how none of it went unnoticed.<br/><br/>
