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.

"I will."

That's not all she'll do, of course, but it's a start.

[hero_farmboy]

"Good," he nods. "Thank you. I'd like to think I can reason with her if necessary."

[lytii-intuition.livejournal.com]

"That would be much appreciated."

Which... says nothing to whether or not he can do it, of course.

[hero_farmboy]

And he's making no guarantees.

"So we have an agreement, then," he says, in lieu of knowing what else to say at the moment.

Inty nods almost cheerfully, suddenly looks distressed.

This would be the realization that Clark is standoffish about her because she knows things most people don't.

...She can't exactly reassure him that it's unintentional without further aggravating the situation.

Intuition is not fond of being disliked in such a manner.

Ack!

[hero_farmboy]

It's not dislike so much as it's caution. And mild distrust. And Clark would feel the same about anyone else who had a similar ability. He's just too private a person to be comfortable with it.

That aside, he does give her a small and fairly genuine smile. "Well, feel free to help yourself to whatever we've got. It's not much, but we're getting there."

It still makes Inty mildly uncomfortable.

But there isn't much she can do about that, so she smiles back and shrugs.

"Thank you."

Look, she even remembered to say it in English this time!

[hero_farmboy]

Oh, look. More awkward silence.

"I'll see you around, then."

[lytii-intuition.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

Dammit.

She wanders off, feeling distinctly unsatisfied.
