Hallbjorn took the picture from Kara and looked it over. He turned it this way and that. His appreciation for the photograph was interrupted by the real thing pulling him in for a kiss, and Hallbjorn returned it, laying the photograph flat on the counter top. Then she asked him about going out or staying in, voicing a preference for staying in. That did not bother him. They had spent a lot of time out and about today and in a lot of the time they had known each other it was out somewhere else. Staying in did not bother Hallbjorn.<br/><br/>"It is perfectly fine." Hallbjorn told his mate. "Do not worry about boring me. I love you the way you are." He told her. The blond male gave her a little half-grin, the left corner of his mouth perking upwards.<br/><br/>"I will make us something to eat." The big man said. He moved to the sink and washed his hangs. He walked around the kitchen, grabbing a couple of pots and a pan. He filled one with water and set all of them onto the stove. He set the water to boil. From a cupboard he drew out some spaghetti noodles, and set the package near the stove while the water rose to a boil. Hallbjorn salted the water lightly. From the fridge he drew out some ground beef, and found a bowl. Hallbjorn put the ground meat into the bowl, and then found some spices and seasonings, which he added to the ground beef. He mixed the spices and seasonings in by hand, and then set about forming the meat into small balls. He put them into the heated pan and they began to cook. Hallbjorn washed his hands when the pan was filled with cooking meatballs. He found a jar of spaghetti sauce in a different cupboard, and emptied it into another pot to warm. The water reached a boil, and Hallbjorn added the noodles to it. When the meatballs were cooked through, he transferred them to the pot of sauce and let them simmer.<br/><br/>Soon enough Hallbjorn grabbed plates and forks for them both. He tested the noodles with a fork and when he found them done enough set a strainer in the sink and emptied the water, separating the noodles from the liquid. He dished up noodles onto the plat and then used a large wooden spoon to pour sauce and meatballs on top of each portion. Hallbjorn took them to the table, and motioned with his head for Kara to join him at the table.<br/><br/>When she joined him, Hallbjorn began to eat.<br/><br/>"Tomorrow, do you want to practice teleporting?" The large man asked her. "Then we could go back to Jackrabbit Junction easily."
