Giggles... Oh, joy. I get to comment on someboday who takes longer to post parts than me.
(Smile. I’m teasing you....)
Lois was just adorable when she was irritated. Plus, her rants were almost as fun to listen to as her babble-tangents.

So when Jor-El and Lara and the others contacted me in my head, it woke me up.

“Lady Zara is not merely a noblewoman,” Ching protested. “She is the First Lady, blood heir to the Kryptonian monarchy, and Lord Kal-El is the ruler consort, First Lord of New Krypton.” Clark stared at Ching, eyes wide, and jaw slack. Him, a king? The idea was daunting, to say the least.
I always took it from the show that Clark was the blood heir to the monarchy and Zara was the ruler consort, especially since he seemed to more take command aboard the ship than she did. It’s interesting to see a different take on it.
Were I to refuse a husband and sever the birth marriage after the thirty-first anniversary of my birth,
Just curious - why her 31st birthday?
