Clark is in a sickeningly good mood. There may be whistling. It's probably not because he's restocking the kitchen cupboards with the latest canned goods obtained in town earlier.

He may or may not tell you actually why, depending on who you are and how you ask.

Comments

Intuition doesn't need to ask.

"Congratulations," she says brightly.

It's always good when relationships are going well.

[hero_farmboy]

"What?" Clark asks before turning around to see who it is. When he does, it does not lessen his confusion any. Nay, it only increases.

"Uh, you're new." This is not a question, Inty.

[lytii_intuition]

"Yes. I'm Intuition. It's nice to meet you, Clark."

...She just woke up, okay? She hasn't quite had time to remember how not to be creepy.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark gives her a look and then nods slowly.

"You're the psychic girl who came in with Gabriel, right?"

[lytii_intuition]

"Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I came in with Gabriel. No, I'm not psychic."

Inty shrugs.

"I'm Intuition."

[hero_farmboy]

"Oh. Well, still, nice to meet you," he replies with a small smile.

[lytii_intuition]

"Yes."

She smiles back.

"Thank you for taking care of all of us."

A small, indicative wave to the food.

[hero_farmboy]

He shrugs. "Someone else would do it if I didn't, but you're welcome." And orange is held out for her. "Might want to get in on these while they're still fresh."

[lytii_intuition]

"Thank you," she repeats as she accepts the proffered orange.

But not in English.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark freezes in place and just stares at her for a minute.

"What did you say?"

[lytii_intuition]

Inty is confused!

Blink.

"...I said thank you?" she tries, puzzled.

[hero_farmboy]

"Yeah, I know, just," Clark frowns, not really sure what to say about it. "Nevermind."

[lytii_intuition]

"...Oh."

Inty ducks her head and blushes.

"Sorry, did I switch languages? I do that sometimes, when I'm talking to someone who knows more than one."

Clearly this is a source of embarrassment for her.

[hero_farmboy]

He nods, still obviously uncomfortable. "You did, yeah. I'd sort of appreciate it if you didn't."

[lytii_intuition]

"...I'll try. It's not something I do on purpose. Most things aren't."

[hero_farmboy]

"Fair enough," he relents, after a soft sigh. He can't really fault her if it's out of her control. "Just don't take it personally if I don't exactly get used to it right off the bat."
