[ She's grinning now, as she moves through her work with an almost mechanical efficiency. This is nice, being able to chat while her hands are consumed with a task her mind does not need to be fully present for.
Cho's not sure if Ben has forgotten the little bit of chatting they did about her family when they first met, or if he's just being polite and wants to let her talk about herself. She could see either one. That first trip, the things she'd said without meaning to, the things she'd said fully meaning to and desperate to make him understand how certain she was, it would overwhelm anyone. Also, he's kind, and he seems to like it when she talks. Doesn't hurt that this is one of her favourite topics, in general. Anything to do with the ocean. ]
We own a fishing fleet, and a lot of land near the ocean. My childhood bedroom had a perfect view all the way down to the bay. There's nothing like really fresh fish. When this batch of fingerlings is big enough, I'll make you something delicious. Maybe not the udon. I do know how to make it, but it's a little involved, and it needs some things we don't have.
I could make a different kind. The noodles are easy enough. They just take time.
