gloom somewhat vanished from
his visage as he glanced over at
Superman —small smile forming .

then his eyes dropped to the wet
boots . 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 .

he extended his arm; hand above
the boots -&- the water gracefully
flowed from them to his hand .

❛ that better? ❜

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

❛ my strong reaction . yeah . . . .
I should be the one who’s sorry .

I tend to avoid scenarios like this
for 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 reasons . long story .❜

he was hoping Supes didn’t push
or pry into the matter .

❛ nothing against you , though . I
think you’re great .❜

“Noted, but I feel like maybe it was warranted given your strong reaction.” He was struggling to walk in wet boots in the sand, wobbling like a penguin alongside Asher now.

⠀ “They do. Most humans do too if they aren’t egotistical maniacs.” His tone was light-hearted —

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

❛ but sure , you can walk with me .❜

hands slipped into his pockets , he
strolled leisurely in direction of the
library .

he felt out of place . here he was w/
𝗍𝗁𝖾 Superman underdressed .

❛ so , kryptonians feel indebted to
others? ❜

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

the apology to him . . .
made Asher feel 𝖻𝖺𝖽 .

he wasn’t 𝖽𝗂𝗌𝗍𝗎𝗋𝖻𝖾𝖽 —only
cautious . too cautious .

❛ don’t apologize to me . it’s not
needed .❜ he started . ❛ not used
to doing whatever 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌 is .❜

referring to being a hero .
it was . . . 𝗇𝖾𝗐 .

Kal was a bit taken back by his reaction, head even pushing back. For someone so heroic he seemed so disturbed from rescuing someone. Ouch.

⠀ “It’s ugh . . okay. I apologize for getting injured and being such an inconvenience to you.” His arms flailed in a shrug, —

it wasn’t his intention to sound
rude . if anything -he was more
𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 up than an a^shole .

he did a good thing, but it didn’t
𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 good due to circumstances .

❝ sorry that came out wrong .❞

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

Asher was a fast walker, evident
by the vast distance he created .

thank his 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴 for that .

be that as it may, the man in blue
𝘥𝘪𝘥 make a good point . he wasn’t
one to turn down a thanks .

even if he had 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to do with it .

— just enough of a boost to jog after Asher.

⠀ “Aren’t you going to give me a chance to say thank you?” Kal was raising his voice again, hoping to get him to slow down. He may have denied saving him but he 𝒅𝒊𝒅 stop to check on him. That was kind and deserved his gratitude.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

his walking slowed &- he quickly
spun around —fixing his glasses .

❝ thirty seconds is all I can offer,
for I have to get back to the library .

I left it unattended ~my coworker
doesn’t start for a few hours .

say your thanks, so we can never
speak again .❞

He's...afraid to ask what else would be in that mind of his.

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

❝ so —tell me more about this
vision you have . there’s some
𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 pieces in here .

some modern ,, some classic .
some look completely natural
while others look rustic .❞

he was genuinely curious — a
quick adjustment of his frames .

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

he followed behind her ,, chuckling.

❝ I’ve always been an overachiever .
even if I look like a complete idiot .❞

he correctly shifted the materials he
had into both hands ,, securing them
against his chest with his arms .

Neither. He did neither. It's all in his head.

sh—t ,, sh—t ,, sh—t .

❝ so ~uh ,, youuu have a good
day ,, Superman !❞

without another word ,, Asher
took off from which he came ;
walking as fast as he could .

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 .ᐟ @marearchivum]

❝ uh —no ! I did no such thing !❞

stammering almost as he quickly
rose to his feet —dusting off the
sand to no avail .

he almost forgot he was to keep
a low profile . he couldn’t ruin it .
not now ;—; not ever .

❝ you were here when I arrived .❞

— remained in his body that was causing his breathing irregularity.

Once coughing it all up, he wiped his lips, eyes looking around for Volcana only to find Asher in front of him. “Wh—What happened? Did you pull me out of the ocean?”
