Songbird, thank you so much for commenting! You flatter me! I'm so glad you liked how this turned out.

KateSO, thanks for such a great, detailed reply! It always brightens my day to see which lines connected with people! And you're right - totally a weird, hard-concept scene to write, and I'm not sure I nailed it. But I'm so, so glad this opened up a new nuance for you. I'm always trying to go a little deeper in finding what makes their characters work so well together.

Oh this is SO perfectly Lex! I can hear his voice reading this!
I really appreciate this. Lex has an arrogance to his erudition that I don't find natural to write - so it's always a little stretch to capture Mr. Luthor!

Thank you, again, for such kind feedback!
