[Frankly, it wouldn't have occurred to Onni to avoid eggs - unless they're owl eggs or harpy eggs, of course. But cereal and fruit is a good meal as well, and one he hasn't had in a while (especially the fruit), so he just leans a shoulder against a wall near Reynir and watches while he cooks.
The information about Reynir's family is interesting enough. He makes mental note of the name of the brother he'd met, and the oldest brother. The context about how big Ólafur is makes the story he'd told earlier more amusing, and Onni can't help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, thinking about that drunk challenging a very large Icelandic sailor to a fight.]
Did your brother even have to raise a hand in that fight, then?
[It's said with mild interest, and then the second part of what Reynir had said sinks in. That he doesn't know his oldest brother very well but that he'd loved to hear his stories. It reminds him a little of himself and Lalli when they were younger, although Onni didn't have any particularly interesting stories to tell and Lalli wouldn't have known how to tell his own if he'd wanted to. Still, that unfamiliarity with someone who is family hits home. Even now, he wonders if he really knows Lalli sometimes.]
The ocean isn't really that impressive.
[It's big and terrifying and full of monsters, of course, but it's also boring to look out at endless waves for days on end.]
