Hi Mary!
A/N: …And a Happy New Year!
Awww… I see what you did there. I will not accept new updates only on holidays, though. And a Happy one to you, too!
On the ceiling above him, Clark rubbed the back of his neck
That’s a great bit. Clark’s used to power-emoting, Michel is stuck on the ground.
”Maybe…” He held out three fingers, and the globe’s messages leapt to the forefront of Michel’s mind.
Michel met his brother’s eyes and shook his head. “Our father would have said something.”

Huh, what if he had met Susanne for a date or two?
it was supposed to be a great way to impress girls.
CLARK: Define ‘girls’

LANA: It did give him a very… flexible tongue.
I had to rely on it pretty heavily in some places; especially Africa. Trust me: no amount of tutoring can hold a candle to being lost in Conakry.”
“I think we can rule out the robot theory.”
They can do wonders with rubber prosthetics these days.
I wanna introduce you to a friend of mine:
