[amused laugh as he's on the floor watching the little girl toddle around moving stuffed animals from the floor to the couch]

Actually? I thought it would be more difficult. But she's really well behaved. You know, except for the sneaking away at the drop of a hat.

[a pause] You?

That must be the Bat family in her, huh?

I'm doing okay. It's weird, all things considered, but I like kids, so it's been a good week so far.

Ha ha, cute Clark, real cute. I don't think my tendencies are genetic.

Well that's good. [cuts to the chase] So who's this Alicia girl?

That'd be the nature vs nurture debate.

Alicia? She's, uh... well, she's an ex-girlfriend from senior year. We had a rocky relationship for a while, and she and Lana don't get along well, but she's a nice girl.

[let's not talk about the attempted murder, the "drugging", the psychopathy--- yeahhhhh, let's not.]

I don't think that's such a good idea, Clark.

[Alicia]

Why not? It's been a long time since Lana's seen you. Things'll be different.

[keptgrounded]

I'm glad you think so, but no. They won't. [Another silence] I'm sure it'll be fine if you take Lara with you, though.

[Alicia]

Alicia, I promise it will be different.
