Michael-- Hahaha. Are you saying the horses are gossips? :p Somehow, I don't think Penelope Grace is a "horses horse" (or whatever the equine equivalent to a "people person" is, heh).
Kathy-- Yeah, Clarkent's in a bit of a rough spot. But insecurities coupled with some modesty means that he isn't going to go around tooting his own horn, much less arguing about how great he is, heh. Both he and Loisette have a ways to go!
Iolanthe--
It's about time for the scheduled crisis of confidence.
It's like clockwork, isn't it?
Fortunately, Clarkent has a supportive cheering section including his parents and Peri and James. (Gee, sort of like Clark Kent's support group!)
Pwahaha. Couldn't ask for a better set of cheerleaders!

Thanks!!!
