"So you ARE really smart." CONFIRMED, no modesty, false or otherwise, is going to get in Reynir's way. He smiles, and when Foggy mentions he's the first in his family to go to college, declares: "They must be really really proud of you."

Reynir looks back to the stew and explains:

"My parents have a little sheep farm in - well, it's a village you wouldn't have heard of even if you were from my world. My brothers and sisters were the first ones in our family to go off to Reykjavík and get cool jobs. One of my brothers is a sailor, and the other one is a mechanic, and my sisters are nurses..."

He trails off with a tiny shrug. There's a lot implied, there, by the fact that he is not including himself on that list.

When Reynir sees the peanut butter, his freckled nose wrinkles and he asks, with confused friendly disgust:

"You actually like that weird stuff?!"
