In the case of Lois' visiting Clark's room I have to side with VR. A noblewoman would never visit a man's bed chamber without being properly escorted. By such behavior she was considered 'despoiled' and was not fit to be aligned with a man of Luthor's position. Now if she were to meet him on some neutral grounds like the stables with James in tow, than she could teach him to read and write with fewer problems.
Just an observation.
So, when is Lord Tempos going to put in an appearance? It is not like that self-centered blowhard to miss an opportunity to make everyone miserable!
The story itself is great! Very much looking forward to the next part.
Hi, Morgana!
Come to think of it, maybe, on some level, Lois WANTS her reputation to be less than stellar. It could make her less tempting to Lex!
But, and this spoils nothing, Lex isn't concerned as much with her reputation as he is in her in general.
Lord Tempos does not physically appear in this story. He's completely off-screen in the shadows, mostly because it worked out that way when I wrote it.
Glad you are enjoying it!
