Lorn took a sip of the broth with the floating mushrooms with a nod.  "There's not much substance here, but the flavor of the broth is good."  He commented glancing at Karen.  "Let me more about where you grew up.  I've spoken some of my folks and living in Texas, and briefly in Denmark.  Tell me more about how you grew up." He gave her an anticipation kind of expression as he sips at the soup.
