Oh, such as? Knowledge about geography and politics, I can imagine that you already have, but what else? Spying skills, too?

[He's honestly curious.]

Well, it's not even just women, for starters. I like people who are kind but who also aren't afraid to speak their mind or stand up for others. Laurie was like that.

And I guess someone who would not be afraid of me.

Okay, apropos of nothing else, I'm a little curious why you jumped right to spying skills.

That's a good quality to look for in a person. The first one, I mean. Probably the second too, but that's more because it would be deeply fucked up if you did want someone who's afraid of you, and I'd have to stop giving you advice.

That was just an idea that came to my mind, since journalist are sort of detective too. Don't worry about it :)

[Totally not because other versions of her have dabbled in espionage before and he's aware of it, no ma'am.]

I think so too. It's a pity that kindness seems to be in short supply nowadays.

[ She can't see him, but he's grimacing at that last bit. Too familiar a flaw, even if that was his old self. ]

No. I don't enjoy being in a relationship with someone who's scared of me; that's awful for everyone involved. It would not be fair or real.

Yeah, well, there's assholes everywhere. Doesn't mean we have to be like them.

[Admittedly she can be kind of grating herself, but Lois doesn't think that prevents her from being kind.]

I don't think you have too much to worry about. If you're already having Keira Knightley fan sessions, you're probably not giving off a super intimidating vibe.

True. 'Be the change you want to see in the world' yadda, yadda...a bit cheesy, but the right kind of view.

[ She's got personality; that's a big part of why Prime likes her. ]

Great, thanks, Lois. [ That's good to know, especially considering how he once wore a yellow ring lantern. Perhaps he really isn't a lost case. ] Maybe next time I can broaden other subjects. Maybe even talk about Keanu Reeves or something. [ That's a joke, kinda. ] How did you get so good at this?

Nothing wrong with a limited amount of cheesy, under the right circumstances.

[If she felt otherwise she couldn't keep dating Clark.]

I'm naturally good at everything. Little-known fact about me.

Aww, look at you, a romantic at heart.

[ He is too, probably all the Clarks are, even if he tries to act nothing like it.]

You should put that in your autobiography. I'd read it. Title it 'Lois Joanne Lane: the bestest ever'.
