"Oh, yes." Hallbjorn replied when Kara turned to ask him if they were staying at the Grand Hyatt. Her reaction pleased him and he was able to feel like this made up in some way for his morose behaviour during the drive. It was easy to see how much his mood affected Kara, and when his mood was poor it dragged her down too. And Hallbjorn did not like to drag her down. Perhaps it was just because Kara was a compassionate person, or perhaps it was an affect of being mates.<br/><br/>Her amusement on the way in was a pleasant sight to behold, and he was glad that she was having a good time of it. The large cowboy hats and belt buckles seemed a little silly to Hallbjorn too, but then, he of all people had no room to judge. He thought his gold aviator glasses had been<em>really cool</em>.<br/><br/>Having the choice of film fall into his lap put Hallbjorn into a tough position. He did mind watching a movie that he did not enjoy if it was one that Kara liked. It was more important to him that it was something she liked than anything else. She was off in her mad dash while he called down for room service. He ordered a pair of filet steaks, asking for rare for Kara and medium rare for himself. To go with them he picked the baked potato and a bottle of water for each of them. There was something on the menu called chocolate sin cake that he decided on a whim to try and asked for that for them to share.<br/><br/>He was hanging up when Kara called out that the bath tub was huge. He considered putting the size of it to use. It was easy to imagine sharing it with Kara. He stopped himself before his imagination could get too far and he risked getting carried away. He let a long breath and calmed himself, walking to where Kara stood at the balcony. He came up behind her and put his hands around her waist, holding her without changing the way she stood. He looked out over the lights the glittered below them and found it in himself to be awed at the sight. The woman in his arms was a big part of it.<br/><br/>"No." The large man told her. "This is the first time I have seen this particular sight." He leaned forward and kissed the top of Kara's head gently and softly. The gesture was meant not to distract her too much from the sight while satisfying his urge to show her some affection. "I am sorry that I did not enjoy City Slickers, Kara. But I liked to hear you laugh." The big man told her while they took in the sight of San Antonio at night. One of his hands moved from around her waist to settle over one of her small ones at the railing. He dipped again, and this time he kissed her bare shoulder and up her neck, stopping when it reached her lower ear. His body was warm against hers and his breath was as well when it wafted on her skin.<br/><br/>With his lips hovering just below Kara's earlobe he paused to smell her, drawing in a slow breath through his nostrils. "The last time I came to San Antonio I stayed in a Motel 6. It was just a place to close my eyes for a few hours. The experience was unimportant to me." He nuzzled his cheek against her and then straightened up behind her, standing close so that her back was touching his front completely. "I am glad that I could see this with you for the first time. If not with you, I do not think the sight would affect me at all."
