It had only been the start of a face, one brow beginning to inch upward, not about to actually make a correction to the question, but amused by it all the same. He lifted one hand in a mock-surrender at the self-interjection and went about flipping the first batch of pancakes onto the plate, covering them with the pot lid and ladling out a second batch while he waited for the actual question.
He considered for a moment, "There's this cliff along highway 1 in California." A snort, shaking his head, "Okay there's a lot of cliffs along highway 1, kind of a feature of the road. But this one, I don't know if it was part of some kind of state park or what, but it was always quiet when I managed to get there, it's only been a few times."
Another little head-shake, "It's an observation point, a few yards out from the road, safety railing goes out that far too, so it's definitely meant to be there." He made a gesture with his right hand, "Bridge off in the distance if you're standing there, trees on the opposite side of the road behind you, and everything else is just... ocean. It's quiet there. The water's far enough away you can barely hear it, but only if the wind's in the right direction, and the trees are far enough back that unless it's really windy, you can't her them, either, never been any traffic when I've ended up there. One of the few times I haven't minded being outside, away from modern conveniences."
