[Clark darling you're built like a brick shithouse. That's not a nerd feature.]
Oh, fuck. Sorry.
[She moves so he can come in, at least. Lup swipes the wine and goes to grab some glasses. She's wearing Taako's clothes, hair put up in a messy bun and still wearing the cheap plastic earrings she got from Carnivale.]
So you're Kal? Guess you know I'm Lup, then. I'm sure my little brother tattled to all his friends that the best twin as arrived.
[Definitely. She's gonna gain like ten pounds in Riverview.
She takes a sip (yes, a sip, she's not that much of a savage) of the wine and listens to Clark with a curious expression that morphs into a faux frown.]

...some dude!]
Yeah, no. I only date nerds.

No, I'm not trying to ask you out. My name is Kal, I'm a friend of your brother's.
[ action ]
Oh, fuck. Sorry.

I'm a little biased. [ Taako is one of his favorite people. ] It's nice to meet you.
no subject
[She comes back with two glasses and a wink.]
He's been making a lot of friends, here. It's good to see that he hasn't been alone.
no subject
Friends aren't the same as having a sibling. Taako had forgotten her, and Clark is really, really glad he's gotten her back. ]
I was going to bring pie, do you enjoy eating that?
no subject
Hell yes, who doesn't love pie?
[She sits and waves at him to join her.]
You're the guy he sent the picture to, right? The 'selfie' thing.
no subject
Clark joins her on the couch. ]
He did. I can differentiate between you two, and I'm not an easy person to fool. Don't get any ideas.
[ This is cheating because he can tell their heartbeats are different. ]

Well shit, that's no fun.
no subject
I'm not telling you how I do it, either. Just in case.
no subject
[She rolls her eyes a little bit, but it's pretty light and friendly despite her insult.]
How did you come to know Taako?
no subject
[ He has a very straight face and sounds extremely serious. ]
no subject
Right, because you always share selfies with your enemy.
no subject
[ He's not sure how he and Taako became friends. It feels like they were just meant to. ]
One day, there'll be a face-off, to decide once and for all.
[ Now he's just being silly. ]
no subject
[Lup gives him a pointed look over her glass of wine.]

Taako says his cooking is better. I'll let you be the judge.

no subject
But I didn't come here to spend all my time talking about Taako. How are you? Are you settling in all right?
no subject
It's... strange.
[...and also weird to talk about with someone she doesn't know.]
I'm living here, I'm going to be working with Taako - it's all perfect but feels so fragile. Like I'm about to wake up and it's not real.
no subject
It's real enough. Things do happen around here, but it's a quiet place.
no subject
I dunno, man. It's been pretty loud in party town.
