Exton

As Star sees Guunnar waving the grapes at her, she starts to giggle softly. Her stomach starts to growl loudly, making Erik smile.

“Do you want to eat before we go back to the cabin? Its not a long walk but it might start snowing again.” Erik is hungry too and the sight of the spread on the table has his stomach growling too.

At Stars nod they join the others at the table. Erik heaps up a large plate for himself and a slightly smaller one for Star. She rolls her eyes when she sees the amount he's set aside for her. She points to the plate, then to her waist. The message is as clear as if it had been spoken. Look at that and then look at me.

Everyone at the table starts to laugh and after a moment Guunnar does too. “Erik, you better keep an eye on her, ja? You vill have to eat fast...”

As Star stands Guunnar holds his hand out, palm up. Star hesitates and then slowly places her hand in his, briinging a smile to the big mans face. He squeezes her hand lightly, “Gute Nacht...”
