I believe this is the first time I've seen anyone address Clark's drawing skills in a fic. Actually, I've been wondering about that for quite some time, but no plot bunny ever spawned from those thoughts. So thank you for using that skill.
I also loved his conversation with Mayson about his glowing eyes. It's good to see that there is less animosity between her and Kal here than we saw in the show.
Thanks. His drawing skills have always intrigued me. I suppose with a perfect memory and excellent dexterity it makes sense, but I do think it takes a bit more to actually be a good artist of any form. Hence the need for practice.
Anyway, I felt Mayson has had enough time, and Kal's different approach would create an opportunity for growth. Admittedly, I have often wondered if, in a different universe, Mayson could actually have a chance with him---like in the universe where Lois had died or whatever. It would be interesting, although no doubt difficult to write, but I think it would be possible.
