I wonder if I’ve left the door open as it has suddenly become a little frosty in the tiny cabin.
Such a great detail that he can read her this well from so little.
She knows. And she’s angry.
Oh, yikes.
Do I react, or let the papers burn? Flames from the fire are licking eagerly around the rolled paper, testing the edges and finding them easy to burn. It’ll take seconds for all of Lois’ meticulous notes to turn into ashes.
It's like we know it's a test, and she's set him up no matter what he chooses. Oof, great entrapement.
“When am I going to be good enough for you?” Those softly spoken words are a punch to the gut.
Oh, man, this line READ like a punch to the gut!
I’m slightly surprised that’s all it took.
I found this just deeply funny.
Her tone flat, I realize I’m one foot in mouth moment away from losing her.
I love this phrasing!
“Of what? You can’t be hurt!”
“I can.”
“Oh, right. I’d forgotten.”
“I wasn’t thinking of that.”
This sweetly reinforces that the strongest man in the world is also one of the most vulnerable.
"...You could possibly be a bigger target than before.” If that’s possible.
"I will always worry about you, Lois,” I say softly, meaning every word with a depth I won’t go into right now.
This is such a poignant encapsulation of the way he holds back - it really feels like the best of the show.
This was such a sweet reveal, and so in character!
