I flipped a coin

[signifies]

[ Clark hesitates. Taako's put so much into this that it would feel like a waste if this didn't work. Magic isn't Kryptonian as far as Clark knows.

It's still one form of energy. The key sinks all the way through when he pushes it in. A figure materialises next to the console. ]

Father?

honestly that's the most d&d thing you could've done

[spellslots]

[Taako mutters a quiet holy shit under his breath, and then promptly realizes that his is very personal.]

I can— I'll give you some privacy?

[He's already heading towards the door.]

This isn't permanent, but you should have at least an hour.

<3

[signifies]

[ Clark wouldn't have minded introducing them but he understands Taako wanting him to make the most of his limited time. ]

I can't thank you enough.

[spellslots]

[Taako just smiles, waving the thanks away.]

No one's gonna interrupt you.

[And then he steps inside, waving a hand over the door to magically lock it behind him.

Time to go read a book or something, although he's not really expecting Clark to stick around once the console disappears; Taako figures he might need some time alone.]

[signifies]

[ An hour is more time than he thought he'd have with Jor-El. Clark writes down everything he can even though he'll remember it fine. He pockets the key when the AI fades away.

The door unlocks, so he makes a beeline for Taako and embraces him in a bear hug.

It's good to have a friend. ]

[spellslots]

How— [Oh nope okay that's a hug happening. It startles a little laugh out of Taako as he returns the hug, patting Clark on the back.] All good?

[signifies]

Yeah.

[ He pulls back and beams. ]

I wonder if we can build that using what we have here.

[ He doesn't want to strain Taako. ]

[spellslots]

[Ugh, Clark isn't allowed to smile like that, it does stupid things to his feelings.]

They've got some pretty fancy shit, I bet they'd find a way to make it work. If not, you know, you've still got Taako.

[They might have to find a better powers source, he's not sure how cooperative the umbra staff will be in the future.]

[signifies]

I do.

[ Clark decides to go in for a second hug. He may be hovering off the floor in joy too.

Thanks, Taako. ]

[spellslots]

[Clark please you're already taller than him.]

Do not make me waste a spell slot on levitate just so I can keep up with you, my dude.

[signifies]

[ Clark lets go.

He's still smiling. ]

I'll see you, then.

[spellslots]

Yeah, yeah, you better go tell your girlfriend all about this.

[It seems like the sort of thing that Clark would want to share with someone who'll Get It better than Taako can, since they're not from the same world.]
