[Clay ducks his head to let out a laugh at that, feeling giddily prideful and a bit (JUST A BIT) lovestruck at the look on Allen's face. Part of him wants to say I don't know, why are we stopping right now and pull Allen right back against his body, but he knows that side of him is driven by hormones and should not be listened to right now. So he listens to his more logical side instead.]

Weeell... we both agreed we're not really at that point yet, contrary to what our bodies are telling us. We don't want to have an amazing time too fast. [He raises his eyebrows teasingly] But most importantly? This is Ino's room, and I don't think we want to take things further here.

[And he gives a groan sound because he knows Clay is right even if he so doesn't want to be Clay to be right at this moment. But you know, he guesses it's good someone is thinking of long term consequences even that someone is stopping him from an amazing time in the short term]

Okay, okay- you're right. Holding off is better, I get it. [He lets out a tiny sigh and mutters to himself] Shit.

[He chuckles at that, amused and, well, maybe letting out some of his frustration as well, and he leans in to give him a chaste kiss before he pulls back, and pulling his body away as well, just to lessen the temptation for both of them.]

There you go. Now, let's actually calm ourselves down and not get riled up again.

Right- okay. [Yeah you keep that kiss chaste!! As Clay's pulling away, he'll just- pull away too, by letting go of Clay and pivoting he's no longer in front of Clay and instead slumps his back against the wall next to Clay. He gives an exasperated sigh as he reaches up to just fully untie that tie and ditch it because it's way too hot to have on right now when he's trying to cool down.]

Okay, okay okay- [He drops the tie and runs a frustrated hand through his hair. Time to try to think of anti-sexy things. He'll be talking to himself for a bit here as he does a game of word association here] Clinic, Mold, Bacteria cultures, Chlamydia bacterial infection, Gonorrhea, Crabs, Crowley and Tekhetsio... [He makes a disgusted face, okay it seems to be working]

Edited 2015-10-05 12:40 (UTC)

[... You know, he did meet Crowley so he does know who he is, but with the word association going on there, he still automatically thinks that "Crowley and Tekhetsio" are some kind of disease. And that's pretty nasty, man. Clay, meanwhile, steps away from the wall while crossing his arms over his chest in a stretch routine and tries to think of some unsexy things himself.]

High fructose corn syrup, Eldoon's Noodles, diesel trucks, cigarettes, littering, cloudy nights, blood...

[He shudders a bit at the thought of that last one. But yeah, this is definitely working, as well as the stretches he's keeping up. Now he's bending down to touch his toes and keep them there for a moment.]

[You know what? That's a close enough assumption, Clay. So go you, go you. Meanwhile Allen hears Clay's list of unsexy things and...wow. Glad he quit smoking last week sheesh.]

[But okay he has to ask about one of those]

...Eldoon's Noodles?

[YEAH GOOD THING EH.]

It’s a noodle place Apollo took me to once. Apparently, the Wrights love it. Me? I feel like I almost died just from the first bite. It was pure salt disguised as noodles! I think he made me eat it just to see my reaction to it.

[DISGUSTED NOISE. He likes noodles, and he likes a bit of salt, but not noodles that are practically drowned in salt!]

[a pause]

...You're very health conscious aren't you...?

Well, yeah, I try to be. [He says as he stretches his arms up, interlocks his fingers and bends at the waist to the side as far as he can go.] To be an astronaut, you have to be in good health and in good shape. Like, really good on both ends, so I’ve been practicing that lifestyle for a while now. And it’s not like I’ll turn down noodles with a dash of salt, but practically a block of salt with a dash of noodles? Ugh. No.

[...Y-Yeah you know what? He's going to politely avert his eyes so he's looking to the side of Clay because he so doesn't need to see how flexible and fit this guy is right now]

I-I see...that makes sense. [Right. Normal person metabolism- you have to be more careful. And at least it sounds more reasonable than those diet things Ino's always doing] Maybe their secret ingredient is salt licks.

[Imagining that.......]

No. No. Gross. No!

[MORE DISGUSTED NOISES as he stretches to the other side. On the bright side of this conversation, it's certainly making his hormones calm the heck down and not shoot down to his lower regions like they've been doing.]

Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure and osteoporosis, you know!

[Well, Allen did start listing diseases and such as unsexy things, so maybe this will help]

[He can't help but laugh a little. The topic is getting his mind off sex, that's for sure. Still, the way Clay acts it's like bad nutrition is a personal offense for him]

And heart and kidney failure, yes I know.

But just think! They'd just have to drop a salt lick into some boiling noodle water and- bon appetite! Fresh salt with a dash of noodles.

[SHUDDER.]

Give that to the Wrights, I'll pass on it. I'd rather have noodles with a dash of salt any day!

[How Mr. Wright doesn't have high blood pressure already, he has no idea. Must be that luck Apollo talks about.]

Speaking of noodles, though, now I've got a craving for Thai soup.

[There's another sound of amusement as Allen slides down the wall to sit on the floor.]

Thai Soup? I've never had that.

[Clay raises his eyebrows and looks back at him, a teasing grin on his face.]

Are you telling me that you, Allen Walker, haven't heard of all the different kinds and wonders of Thai soup? Have you heard of Thai cuisine? Great stuff.

No, I'm afraid I haven't had any Thai cuisine or soup. Though I don't suppose you know how to make it, Clay Terran.

If I had the ingredients, sure!

[After he stretches, Clay sits down on the floor, preferring to just be right there in the middle of the room, though he turns so that he can look at Allen while he explains.]

As the name suggests, Thai food originated from Thailand. See, foods from different countries all have a sort of... signature, you know? A way to know it's from that country. For Thailand, it's all about intricacy, attention to detail, color, medicinal benefits, and good taste, of course. Thai food's mostly well known for having all kinds of different flavors mixed in, and it's all very intentional. Their goal was to hit most if not all the fundamental senses: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and spicy. Soup made in Thai style is exactly the same way, too.

[And Allen listens. He always likes hearing one of Clay's little talks- but man one about food? He is definitely listening with attentive years.]

Mmmmm, that sounds ambitious yet delicious...!

[He wants some]

What sort of ingredients do you need for it? [Surely maybe they could find a way......]
