[He shakes his head.]

Never got around to it. We... spend our time together...

[It's clear he's trying to find the words, though not because he's trying to get around something uncomfortable or awkward. It's just not an easy concept to explain.]

Most of the time, we just kind of... enjoy one another's company. Sometimes we talk about nothing. Sometimes we don't talk. Neither of us are used to much downtime so we're just... savoring it. Together.

That's -

( really sweet? kind of adorable? )

I'm happy for you.

[truth_and_justice]

I'm glad.

[And there's a bit of awkward aw shucks to that, but not for long. Not before he looks over at Kara.]

And how are things going for you in that arena?

[immigration]

It's, uhm.

( now look who's awkward. ) People here are really nice? But I'm just not great at the whole dating thing?

I mean. I kissed someone at New Year's? That counts, right?

[truth_and_justice]

That absolutely counts. And as long as you're enjoying yourself here, that's the important part.

[He's really the last person to judge.]

[immigration]

I am. Though I wish I was better at dating. Or that Alex were here.

( y'know, to tell her when people are flirting with her. and just because kara misses her sister. )

[truth_and_justice]

Well, the nice thing about dating is... there's always more fish in the sea. And the ones who're really worth it?

They forgive.

[immigration]

I hope so. I mean, I'd like to find someone. Even though I'm not sure it's fair on them, at least back home.

[truth_and_justice]

There's no such thing as fair when it comes to love, Kara.

[immigration]

Isn't there?

[truth_and_justice]

Not that you can decide on by yourself. Not that isn't incredibly personal.

[A faint smile.]

Every couple figures out what's 'fair' together. What they want, what they're willing to tolerate... 'fair' is about satisfying needs. Not some arbitrary list of rules or restrictions.

[immigration]

Yeah, that's. You're right.

[truth_and_justice]

So don't assume someone can't hack it unless they tell you. There's enough difficulty in dating as is.

[He got back to working on the pies then.]</small

[immigration]

You're right. Again. Thanks, Clark.

( dating really is difficult enough. but she'll let him bake, settling in to read the rules for the board game he'd bought. )
