Was it that obvious?

[He had tried to be polite about it, honest! Just...yeah, hard to get enthused over something that reminds him of gruel okay]

Yeah? What did they do for a living?

[He grins, leaning over to nudge Allen's shoulder - and letting that quick touch show that there's no hard feelings about it, more just amusement and understanding.]

Any food you don't like is pretty noteworthy, hon.

[He leans back then, leaning his elbow on the table so that he can rest his cheek against his hand]

Mom was an astronomer at Orange County, and my aunt's a seismologist in LA. She studies earthquakes for a living, and since California has a lot of earthquakes, she got a lot of work.
save_the_souls: (well huh)

[He appreciates the show of no hard feelings. Mostly he just feels a little sheepish that apparently he's that obvious to read about food gosh]

Oh wow, I didn't know people studied earthquakes. [That's cool!!] Sounds like your family is full of scientists.
geonomy: (☆ hope is a four-letter word)

Yup!

[The ones that matter, at least]

Seismologists don't just study earthquakes, but also environmental effects on the Earth and its crust. You know, like volcanoes, tsunamis, explosions, stuff like that. They've even been able to predict when tsunamis will happen! She's really busy a lot of the time, and sometimes she even had to travel to places where a lot of seismic events were happening.

[Which meant he'd be left alone, but he was a teenager by that point and was taught to be self-sufficient, so he could take care of himself just fine.]

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-07-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Wow...I can imagine it'd keep you busy. Sounds like really important work!

[He finishes off the last gimbap, making a happy sound from it. Damn that was good]

Ah, that was good!
geonomy: (☆ i see this life - like a swinging vine)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-07-27 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
It definitely is.

[Very proud of his aunt, this guy is. But now that Allen's done with that, Clay gives a big grin, proud for another reason entirely, and rests both elbows on the table now]

Think you're ready for more, or do you need a break?
save_the_souls: (scheming)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-07-27 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He scoffs a little]

Me? Not ready for more food? I thought you knew me!

[There's a smile on his face however, since he's definitely teasing]

Let's do the spicy one next!
geonomy: (☆ sink in the river)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-07-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[He pulls the dak galbi forward until it's in front of Allen, and though it's had time to cool down, it still steams just a bit.]

Careful. This stuff's pretty intense. [He's pretty sure Allen can handle it, but still!]
save_the_souls: (smile and laugh)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-07-27 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, he's going right for it. Taking a chopstick full into his mouth and chewing]

Mm! It is spicy!

[EXCELLENT]
