[ clark has found a house for his family. kara and jon have bedrooms upstairs, on the ground floor there's a kitchen, a living/dining room and lois' bedroom/study. there's a basement that will eventually feature a pool table or similar but for now is pretty empty.

supers, feel free to write your own starters for moving shenanigans, domestic things, getting used to living together, having guests over, etc. ]

( First of all, he's the last person she'd expected to show up looking for her of all people. There's no mistake, though, he's definitely not here for Kal or Jon or Lois. What he says to her is also not at all what she might have thought he would, and so she's left frozen there for a long moment, blinking owlishly.

But then it processes rapidly in her mind as he moves to turn away, and she steps forward out into the sunlight to follow. )

Hey! You don't have to go. ( If he turns to look at her, he'll find her expression sheepish. She adjusts her glasses, and shakes her head. ) I was a bit of a jerk, too. Sorry about that.

( For Rao's sake, is it possible that she's just found someone more socially awkward than she is? She smiles a little, and gestures toward the house. )

Did you want to come in? I don't know if my cousin's given you the tour or not. He's pretty proud of the garden.

[He wants to go.

He should go.

But he doesn't. He stops and turns to look at her again, discomfort fairly easily read in the way he hunkers down into his hoodie despite the warmth of the day. Not that he can go in short sleeves, not if he wants to keep his arm hidden.]

Yeah, he said.

[Well, this is already awkward.]

He wanted me to come and help him out with it, but I don't think that's the best idea.

[ex_clobbers559]

( But he doesn't, and after what he's just said, part of her is glad that he stays. )

Ahhh I see.

( She brushes a strand of hair back behind an ear. )

I'd wondered when he'd try to rope his friends into it, because I sure don't have a green thumb.

Are you and I in the same boat, there?

[That's not why it's a bad idea. He's a dangerous man, and he's already managed to offend at least two members of the household. But he doesn't say as much, he just shrugs.]

Don't think I'd know a weed from a flower.

[That's true enough, at least. Gardening wasn't on the list of skills the Soldier ever had to know.]

I won't be coming around here again, just wanted to apologise.

[ex_clobbers559]

Well—honestly, neither do I. I'm sure he could teach us both a thing or two.

( Offended, past tense. Kara can get angry easily and hold a grudge, true enough. But she isn't in this case.

She frowns, brows furrowing. )

That's silly. I mean I appreciate the apology and accept it, but it's not like you're unwelcome here. Kal would agree with me.

I don't mind. Are you—is everything okay?

[It's strange to hear him called Kal so openly when he had been told all of that was a secret, but he supposes it's different for her.]

You can't listen to me and know?

[It's a slightly wry question. He knows that she probably means in a less literal sense than just the physical, but he's dodging it. Besides, he wants to know if she can do the same creepy listening thing that Clark can do, where he hears inside Bucky's body.]
