Sunday already, huh? And two posts!
What have we done to deserve this? Surely not all the buff guys in black vans that have been stalking you! And if that is the case, then you should know that rewarding our bad behavior will only reinforce it. :p
Kal hung his head as fresh tears stung his eyes.
Is it wrong to think of Kal as a bit of a crybaby? Not that he has no reason to cry, but still...
"Lois hates me."
"I'm sure that's not true."
I'm not so sure that's not true.
Jor-El smiled tenderly at his son. "It may seem like that now, but give it time."
/arches brow/ Is there something I'm missing here? Something Jor-El knows that we don't? Foreshadowing? Some strange Supreme Lord of Krypton powers having to do with psychic abilities or traveling to the future? Because I'm pretty much down in the dumps with Kal at the moment.
Jor-El shook his head. "No. I'm sorry, son, but the law is the law. All marriage contracts between noble houses are unbreakable. You know that as well as I do."
Yay! Erm... actually... not sure how well that will go over with the missus.
"Then I wish I was a commoner. At least they have some freedom to marry who they wish." Kal's voice was harsh and bitter.
Um, Kal sweetie, I hate to tell you this, but I'm 95% sure you would have ended up in the same arrangement.
You mother's spirit is strong in this place." He quickly gestured to the surrounding section of the gardens.
"The force is strong with this one." (apologies; I took a rather sweet moment and befuddled it with Star Wars. Which actually isn't too out of character for me
)
"I told you that you should have gotten in some practice with Catira. How badly did you disappoint your bride?"
/cuts to Lois/: "That beeping beep didn't even beeping look at me!!!"
Kal smiled a thin little smile and picked the cat up. He kissed the tabby's head.
/offers hand sanitizer for lips- it *is* still animal fur!/
"Have a nice time with your concubines?" she asked, as she pawed through a trunk filled with books.
Good one!
"What do you mean, for me?"
"Simple, really. I pity you. You can't even appreciate being in a relationship with an amazingly handsome and well-to-do rich prince. It's pathetic."
Lois sighed and leaned back into the couch cushions. "I don't exactly hate you."
Did he break her? Or vice versa?
Lois went to bed early, taking along one of her books. Kal made up the couch for his bed again and turned his video monitor on. He put the sound as low as he could while still being able to hear it, and tuned into his favorite sport.
"What a simple minded fool I've married. Doesn't even read before bed."
Great chapter (again) and as I go on to read the next one, I have my fingers crossed that it's not an April Fools prank that will leave me shaking my fist and cursing your name.
Just sayin'.
PS: Sorry about all the miscellaneous quotes. I'm stocked to the brim with all sorts of similar useless knowledge.
