Kara doesn't remember fully how they ended up back at her apartment after the hot spring. Everything from last night is a haze as the sun falls across her face through the window. Part of her expects it to be a dream, a very vivid dream, but a dream none the less. However, the warmth and weight of someone else in bed with her, behind her, makes certain that it's not a dream at all. She had ended up in that hot spring, and they had been very intimate with each other. Slowly the memories are coming into focus, and it causes her heart to race a little, both because they're really good memories and because this is out of character for her.

She's just lucky it's the weekend, and she doesn't have to be anywhere. Which means she has time to wrap her head around what they promised each other last night, and figuring out how that's going to work. While he's still sleeping, Kara will slip out of bed silently. She'll pull on a pair of sleep shirts and tank top and move to the kitchen to start brewing some coffee. Her apartment is a loft style, with the bedroom only really being separated by some curtains she's hung to give it a little bit of privacy. Which means that the smell of the coffee will easily reach her sleeping companion as she gets out some stuff to make eggs and bacon.

If not for the tantalizing aroma of breakfast wafting through the curtain to assure him he was not alone, Thor might also have questioned whether the previous night had been a dream. The memories come drifting back to him as he rouses from bed and dons his trousers, but more pressing than recounting the words spoken and promises made is the sudden craving for a cup of coffee, and a hot meal. Whatever had happened, it had left him with quite an appetite.

Seeing the lady of the house at work brings a fresh wave of recollection, and he smiles a little sheepishly as he makes his way toward the kitchen area, softly clearing his throat. "Good morning, my lady."

Kara has quite the appetite herself right now, which may be why there's a lot of food on the counter as she busies herself with making some bacon at the moment. Not just some bacon, a lot of bacon. She can hear him up before he makes his way to the kitchen, but she doesn't let on that she knows he's here until he clears his throat.

She glances over at him and offers a small smile. "Good morning." Taking a deep breath, she pointed over at the coffee. "That should be almost ready. And I'm cooking some bacon and eggs. Is that okay, or would you rather something else...?" Kara's not a hundred percent sure how to do this, to really broach what had passed between them last night considering they barely new each other. So she figures distracting with food for the moment seemed good to her.

"Excellent!" Thor smiles back at her as he makes his way to the coffee pot, watching eagerly as the last drops trickle through the filter. He glances over at the large quantity of bacon, and nods his approval. "For the two of us? That will do. The mighty Thor may have a great appetite, but not nearly as legendary as my dear friend Volstagg the Voluminous, may he rest in peace."

His expression grows a little wistful at the though of his departed friend, but even the memory of loss does not entirely dampen his mood. Being here with her seems to bolster his spirits, even now.

He pours himself a mug of coffee, and then turns his attention back to her. "Might I be of some assistance?"

Kara watches as he pours himself a cup of coffee and talks about his friend, a small smile finding its way to her lips as she cares over the bacon a little. She gets that going before she moves to crack eggs into a bowl. The plans are to scramble them with a bit of cheese.

She nods toward the coffee. "Can you pour me a cup? And how well do you cook, or should I manage the food?" Because this is important. Burnt bacon is just gross, after all.

[thunderthews]

"As my lady wishes," Thor answers, returning to the coffee pot. "Ah! Tony once challenged the Hulk and me to a Cook Off, because he was tired of hearing us argue about who is the strongest Avenger. I have prepared steaks, hamburgers, and veggie burgers. I have also grilled the hot dog, with its meat of questionable provenance, but I was bested by the beast that is the lobster."

He turns, grinning as he offers her the second cup. "I am also skilled at breaking eggs."

[justanassistant]

Kara's head tilts as she listens to him, her smile brightening a little because that sounded like both a fun cook off and a delicious one. Her hand takes the cup from him, fingers brushing his hand in the process and the softest blush raises to her cheeks. "Thanks. I've heard that lobster can be really hard, even for trained chefs sometimes."

She nods toward the bowl and waiting eggs. There's even a small container that has some already broken shells, she keeps them and uses them for fertilizer on some of the plants on her balcony. "If you're skilled at breaking eggs, do you want to crack some for our breakfast while I tend to the bacon?"

[thunderthews]

"Indeed," Thor answers, nodding his agreement. "It was a formidable foe."

He smiles happily, as much at the sight of her reaction to his touch as anything, and sets about preparing the eggs. The feelings of warmth and affection he'd felt for her the night before are still there, as is the steady pull of attraction. It's nice to know she still feels something as well. "I'm afraid that I can be a bit over-ambitious at times."
