"I was making the face because... well, I hadn't tried the fizzy popcorn before so I'm not used to the, um... fizz..?" That sounded quite dumb now that he thought about it. It was called fizzing popcorn, he knew what it would do. "I've only ever had regular popcorn. Or, uh... Muggle popcorn? Would that be how you said it?" He shook his head. "Ah, I'm rambling, sorry. I just... didn't much like the fizz. I don't think I'll eat the rest, and I don't want to waste it, so..." Quinn held out the popcorn. "Do you want it?"

The blonde ruffled his hair with his closed fist, feeling the coins shifting this way and that over his skin, and quietly gave his approval for the dislike of pickles. The only time he even pretended to stomach them was when he was taking up a bet with his brother or trying to prove a point. Usually a nonsensical one bit still...a point. "A wise choice." He was used to offering reassurance for these sorts of things so the words slipped out easily.

"Yeah. It can all be pretty jarring if you've never had carbonation before," he nodded. Fizzy drinks were sort of a rarity in the Flamsteed home, dad had never been a fan of them and mum always leaned more towards health food. The one time they had had a fizzy drink had been when dad had planned their Willy Wonky inspired birthday party. Atlas had had hiccups for hours after - confirming to him that these drinks were just not meant for him. He would stick to pumpkin juice, thanks. "Yeah. I know what you mean." Even with the regular. It was a process of elimination considering this bloke didn't know fizzing, wizarding, popcorn.

His forget-me-not blue eyes shifted from the other boy's face to the popcorn and then back up to his face. He wished Aries were around to play guinea pig.

"I don't take food from people I don't know." Or unless he had seen it made or at least confirm where it had been made - something that had been instilled in him because of what his mum and dad had experienced while during their tenure at Hogwarts, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy professors respectfully. "Sorry." Though does lean in a little to waft the smell of the popcorn to him. He may be convinced depending on the flavor.
