this conversation was starting to sound way smarter than he actually was. how can anyone just pull this type of information from the top of their head and sound so confident about it too? he’s looking at her in awe, listening intently until the image of a cow falling on top of someone flashes in his mind. despite the morbid situation, a laugh falls at that. “imagine that being carved onto your headstone: death by falling cow. what a way to kick the bucket!” a hand runs through his hair to pull the strands back from dropping in his eyes. honestly, he hadn’t expected her to want him to explain. “i could lie to you and make something up but i like this relationship we’re building here. so i’m going to be honest, i stopped listening to that lecture right about when my teacher started explaining this shit. we could ask my trusty friend google if you’re really curious.” he shrugs and leans back against the bench. “i’m more interested in getting to know you and how the hell you know all this stuff. did you study a fact book or something whenever you were younger?”
She couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her lips as the other painted the idea of the rather eccentric tombstone in her mind. “That’s fair, and it’s okay, I can google it later” she made a note of it in her phone before setting it back down in her lap. “I usually end up going on deep dives when I look into that kind of stuff and I wouldn’t want to subject you to that. I once read about jellyfish for three hours straight.” Shrugging at his questions Chloe honestly didn’t have much of an answer. “I’m not sure, weird facts tend to stick out to me and then take up residence in my mind, then I usually end up researching it more. It’s all completely useless information though.” It wasn’t like you could get a job knowing random animal facts, at least not without some sort of zoology degree, she had tried.
