Chad shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m a little worried about pushing him too much.”
“Isn’t that the point?”
“Not physically. Or… let me rephrase,” Chad said. “I’m not afraid to push him too much physically. I’m afraid to push him too much emotionally. I don’t want to scare him off.
“I mean, I am curious about his biology, but I want his questions to guide what we do, you know? I don’t want him to feel like… I don’t know how to say what I’m thinking,” Chad sat down looking frustrated.
Yes, Chad doesn't want Clark to feel like he's being dissected like a frog. Or have Clark feel like he's just an experiment. Even though, for Chad's purposes, he is. A difficult line to walk.
“You flew around the world with Clark?” I asked. Now I was getting jealous.
“It wasn’t… that much fun,” Chad blushed, and I knew he was lying.
This is hilarious.
I had never really thought before about how much Clark must hold himself back given his abilities. I know I’m competitive, but I have to imagine that almost anyone would feel this way – it’s just weird not to do things the best you are able.
Dead on target of Lois' character here.
A fun post. Keep it up.
