Kara was in full agreement with Lyrata. She believed that Helgi would need time to soak in everything that had happened tonight, and even though Hallbjorn would never complain, she thought he should have time to get used to the idea of his brother being back in his life.<br/><br/>She looked at the two brothers, standing in the same position next to each other, and a soft smile touched her lips. Kara did not worry about the silence, since Hallbjorn was often silent. It was not a bad thing.<br/><br/>Kara was a little startled when Helgi traced, since she had bad experienced with people who did that, but it was soon forgotten as Hallbjorn came and took her hand. She looked into his eyes as she tried to get an idea of what he was feeling. Though he showed nothing, she thought he was handling it all very well.<br/><br/>While Lyrata programmed their numbers into Hallbjorn's cell, Kara felt the urge to offer Helgi some comfort. His offer meant a lot to her, since she and Hallbjorn had been through a lot, and it would be nice to have someone they could both rely on. Kara embraced Helgi in a quick hug, and hoped she did not upset him with it.<br/><br/>Her lips twitched with mirth at Hallbjorn's joke, and then Kara began to wonder what kind of things she'd see in a nymph's covey, aside from sex. Perhaps she could talk Hallbjorn into them visiting one in the future.<br/><br/>Kara's spirits were buoyed as they left Helgi and Lyrata, but she kept sneaking glanced at Hallbjorn to see how he was taking it all. After they climbed back in the truck, his words had her leaning over to kiss his cheek. “Anything for you, Hallbjorn.”<br/><br/>There was no hiding Kara's excitement when she was able to try out the beignets from the Cafe du Monde. The coffee was stronger then she was used to, but she still enjoyed it. What froze her in place was the sight of the Mississippi river. It was only a glimpse in-between a few buildings, but the size of it blew her away. “I never realized there were rivers that big.”<br/><br/>But there was so much to see, that she didn't remain still long. Kara was licking the powdered sugar from the last of her beignets off of her fingers when Hallbjorn guided her into a jeweler's shop. The jeweler's words let her know instantly that he was a Lorean, and by the little peek she had of his pointed ears, she thought she might know what kind. He had to be an elf, unless her book was wrong and there were male valkyries.<br/><br/>Hallbjorn's intentions for bringing them in there touched Kara's heart. She drew closer to the counter and offered her left hand. “On my ring finger, if you please, where one normally wears a wedding band.”<br/><br/>It did not take long at all for the elf to resize the ring, and as they waited, Kara slipped her arms around Hallbjorn and rested her head on his chest. “Thank you, Hallbjorn.” She smiled happily.<br/><br/>After the ring was resized, and worn on her finger, she admired it as they made the short walk to Bourbon street. When they reached it, they found it to have a lot of people walking down the street, some of which went from bar to bar. Kara had not realized there would be so many drunk people about, but she tried not to let it bother her.<br/><br/>Instead, she delighted in the beautiful buildings that lined the street. There was so much wrought iron railing, and the blend of French and Spanish architecture was lovely. Kara soon had Hallbjorn's cell in her hands and was taking pictures of anything that struck her fancy. “There is so much history here.” She told him breathily. “I could love this place for that alone.”<br/><br/>They came across a few bands that were playing jazz on the street, and Kara stopped with  Hallbjorn at each of them to listen and applaud them. After that, she was happy to follow Hallbjorn's lead as they made their way through the crowds.<br/><br/>They soon came to a less raucous area of Bourbon street. Gas lamps overtook the somewhat gaudy neon lights, and there were fewer people. Hallbjorn was leading her to a place called Galatoire's. “What is this place, Hallbjorn?” She smiled at him, eager to see whatever he wanted to show her. Kara hoped that the line at the door would not be too much of a problem.
