` making small talk — shindong&amber
Since Lily was going to be meeting up with a friend of hers who was vacationing in California with her family, she had the bright idea of Amber and said friend's husband to spend time together. Sure, Amber was a fairly extroverted individual, but she didn't do well in situations where she was not-so-subtly forced to make small talk.
But nonetheless, here they were, sitting in Lily and Amber's living room. It was completely silent, with Amber scrambling for something to say. She cleared her throat awkwardly, shifting where she sat, and then absentmindedly scratched the back of her neck. Her search of interesting conversation came up blank, as it had been for a short while now. Not even surprising.
She found herself wondering, what would Lily do in such a situation? Probably be very polite, offer something to eat or drink... oh. Right. She had yet to do that.
"Uh, do you want anything? Like, to eat or drink?" she asked the man politely. Thank God she still remembered Korean even after four years of living in the States, though her accent was pretty bad, the syllables heavy and awkward on her tongue. Oh well-- she doubted that Boah and Shindong knew English. Hadn't Lily mentioned in passing once that they didn't?
They probably didn't, she decided, and then focused instead on Shindong's response.
