Kara stuck her tongue out at Hallbjorn when he grinned at her.  Of course, she was grinning right back at him. When he joined her on the couch, she pressed in tightly to his side and draped her legs over his lap. Kara took his free hand between both of hers and placed them on her lap.<br/><br/>It had been some time since she'd seen the first season of Vikings, and Kara found herself enraptured once more by that glimpse into the past. That she was sitting right beside someone who came from that time, and knew those people, filled Kara with wonder. Perhaps later she could ask him questions, but right then, she was content to simply enjoy the show with him.<br/><br/>Kara jumped up when the door chimed and happily followed Hallbjorn upstairs to their room to get his wallet. She grabbed his cell on the way back down. It was such a simple thing, that Hallbjorn would hold her hand and take her with him, but it touched her deeply. She couldn't stop smiling at him because of it.<br/><br/>When he opened the front door, Kara hid her body to the side and only peeked her head out. She didn't want anyone but Hallbjorn to see her in her pajamas, and added a robe to the list of things they needed to buy in the near future.<br/><br/>Her mouth watered at the smell of all the Chinese food. Kara held her hands behind her back so she would not be tempted to start pilfering what had already been brought up to the doorway. When the driver spotted her, she gave him a cheery wave, then smiled at Hallbjorn's generosity as he tipped the man.<br/><br/>It didn't take much time at all for her and Hallbjorn to carry all of the bags to the coffee table. Kara set about taking all of the containers out of the bags and opening them. Each new, delicious scent of food had her stomach growling. When she fixed her own plate, Kara put a little bit of everything on it, just to sample it at first and decide what she liked the most.<br/><br/>Instead of starting with the soup, Kara settled back onto the couch with her full plate. Her fork was held at the ready as she looked at all of her choices. She looked up at Hallbjorn and chuckled. “With a population only a bit over a hundred people, we were kind of sparse on any restaurants or fast food joints. I have tried Chinese food before though. Sometimes the senior center would have potlucks. Occasionally someone made a dish or two of Chinese food. It never lasted long. Not with me around.”<br/><br/>When he suggested taking pictures, Kara set her plate back on the coffee table quickly. That was all of the encouragement she needed, and the next few minutes were a flurry of her taking pictures of all of the food laid out from different angles, of Hallbjorn on the couch, and then the both of them together with their plates. The last few she needed the use of Hallbjorn's longer arms.<br/><br/>Kara was satisfied that they had properly documented their first meal at home together, and then settled back on the couch again with her plate. Then she was trying out all of the different dishes, which had her groaning after each delicious bite. Though one of the things she sampled was spicy and hot, and had her eyes watering and Kara panting as she fanned her mouth.<br/><br/>When she tasted the lemon chicken for the first time, the tang of it and the sweetness hit her tongue just right, making Kara do a little shimmy of delight. She quickly looked to Hallbjorn with her eyebrow raised, wondering how he was taking her antics.
