[LB isn't quite sure what it is about this guy, but she found herself more comfortable in his company than she might have first assumed off of looks alone. He didn't resemble anything nostalgic for her in the least, but perhaps his energy just simply played well off of hers?
She perhaps looks a little wary as he places his arm over her seat for a moment - simply because she was just a little skittish in general, not out of discomfort from him specifically - but quickly eases up. She was still a little unsure about the extent of her touch-based powers, but LB was pretty sure she couldn't accidentally harm him this way (and she wouldn't).]
If I look silly for it, at least we'll look silly together, hmm? [She eases back into a smile as he continues to speak.] Ah, you live on an island, then? For what it's worth, I never had the chance to catch a swordfish, so that'd be quite fancy to me.
[Seeing him lean forward, LB does the same, trying to look for something with tentacles or anything that might possibly be eel.] It's been a long time since I've gotten to even sit down for meals like this - eheheh - but even back then, it was never anything this big.
[The proportions in her home country of Norway was considerably smaller than this! It was almost overwhelming to look at, but thankfully she's spared of looking through all the dishes at the stranger's discovery. Craning her head away from the various dumplings and rice dishes, she glances over the nakji bokkeum with excitement.]
Oh, these look smaller than the octopus I'm familiar with, but yes! That's got to be it.
[Since he found it first, LB politely waits for him to take a portion of it while she glances over the sushi dishes. Now that was something she was definitely foreign to - all she knew was what she heard about raw fish sometimes being in it? But if she had the opportunity to try it, she might as well.
There were so many kinds of sushi that it takes her a bit to eliminate the brightly colored fish rolls, as well as the shrimp ones, before she finds one that seemed to have a cooked meat on top of it - could that be the eel one he was talking about?]
Do you think this is the eel kind?
[It would turn out that she'd be incredibly lucky in her guess, but in either case? She reaches over to grab a piece from the dish, ignoring the ginger and wasabi that seemed to be served next to it. This was too new for her, okay.]
