"Oh well, that does explain it." Valentine nodded and smiled- not really wanting to admit why he was so knowledgeable on this topic. But hey, now she knew. "So she just passed the knowledge down to you? I wish I had a mother who could do something like that." She found herself saying as she played with her potatoes.

"Actually," James said while piling mashed potatoes and gravy on his plate, "I just got back from Japan. I skipped last term and ventured in Kyoto." he smiled and stuffed his mouth with very very hot mashed potatoes. Eyes watering, he swallowed so he could finish his thought. "I bet you're right though, I was in the more rural parts of Japan."
"Oh that would be amazing!" Valentine said excitingly. "I've never really traveled anywhere myself. I was born in Cuba, but I didn't do much traveling. I stay on our land most of the time. Then we moved here. So really I've only been two places before. I would love to travel though." Valentine smiled and nodded as she kept playing with her potatoes.

Sho turned to Val and James. So what if he was eavesdropping? He wanted in on this conversation and he was going to wiggle his way in.
"Manga? You two? Really? Huh... I've grown too used to Eddy and his Wizarding comics and Kelly's hand drawn ones that I've not really been able to talk manga recently," he said to them.
"You like manga too!?" Valentine could just feel her inner geek explode. At least she found some people with common interests. People that she had met so far were so nice. She felt a bit of the odd ball though- being the only girl. Then again she found herself hanging out with guys most of the time. "Where is Ed anyways?" She asked looking down farther the table.

I'm sure I could name one person who'd like to find out if you are, Cale thought quietly as he finished off his roasted beefed sandwich. He licked a finger off. "Well, don't expect me to try you out. I'm more of a daffodil and tulip guy."
"I like Lilies, or roses. Actually... I am much more of an animal person." Valentine nodded.
