Karen accepted the duffel bag from Bjorn with a slight grunt, the weight on her arms causing her to quickly turn and place it down onto the bed. The Norwegian was every bit as strong as he looked, standing around six feet and five inches tall. Smiling up at him, she gave a slight wink to the blond boy. [color=orchid]"Thanks, big guy. I just need it for some personal business."[/color]

Unfortunately, just as she unzipped the bag to retrieve the case, the sound of Mal's voice caused her to freeze dead in her tracks. She knew that tone of voice rather well. It meant that he wasn't terribly pleased with her.

Turning slowly to look at him, she offered her little brother a casual wave of the hand. [color=orchid]"Heya, Mal. Uh, they were just helping me find something I needed to borrow."[/color]

Lifting the case out of the duffel bag, she held it up for Mal to see. Sealed as it was, there was little chance that either of his two roommates could guess at its true purpose. Still, she was quick to zip the bag up again, just in case one of them decided to take a peak at whatever [i]else[/i] was inside it.
