Sometimes, their job is a difficult one. Karen has never minded the fact of that — her life back in New York was difficult, too — but it's nice to have a brief sort of reprieve from that. Although she obviously wouldn't take the threat against this man's son anything less than seriously, for the time being, their work is just a little less dismal than is so often the case. Besides, while it could change at a moment's notice, it's nice just to have a fairly casual afternoon out with her boyfriend. They aren't pretending to be other people or sneaking around or in any sort of imminent danger. They can relax a bit and enjoy themselves, just while still remaining aware.

Abruptly, that seems like it might be about to change; she's as conscious of the way he moves as she is of the sound, the source of which quickly becomes apparent. She huffs out a quiet laugh, shaking her head. "Well, there are worse things to be interrupted by," she says, half-teasing. There may yet be trouble, but there isn't right now. The couple on the blanket look so happy that she can't help but smile in turn.
