Supergirl has posed:
"Yes, yes, of course I've been afraid. I live with a human family, I have a foster sister and I am afraid all the time." Kara says and rubs Lar's arms. "I just think how empty I would feel if I didn't let these people into my life and do my best to keep them safe." She searches his eyes. "And when they're hurt, I take care of them." She squeezes his arms and lets him go. "To love is to be strong, to hope, brave. When you fear, and anguish, you're alone and broken, stop letting it rule you Lar. I know you're a wonderful person."

Mon-El has posed:
    Well she's certainly got his attention, his eyes gazing deeply into hers as she searches him. "You're right...it is as much their choice as it is mine." Lar finally concedes. "And I have no right to deny them that." When she squeezes him he squeezes her hands back. "Th-thank you..." he trails off, transfixed on her face again.

    Before he realizes what he's doing, his lips are suddenly touching hers. It's about a second or two before he quickly pulls back completely and lets go of her. "Grife!" he exclaims, his face flushing. "I--can we pretend that didn't happen? That didn't happen, okay?" He clears his throat. "Yeah...um...I'm gonna...go check on Drake now. I'll meet you at the Fortress, yeah? We'll see what that pod you mentioned can do. And whatever other resources you have out there."

Supergirl has posed:
Covering her mouth with a hand, Kara looks shocked. She backs up from Lar and nods mutely. Her cheeks flush pink and she presses her hand to her chest. "Please don't do that again. I'm with Power Boy still. And I like being with him." She reminds him and turns away to fan her face still flustered. "Oh, he's going to be so upset with me. Oh Rao." She presses her hands to her forehead.

Mon-El has posed:
    Power Boy? Lar's face flushes even hotter. Oh, -no-. "P--but...why didn't you say so -earlier-?!" he asks incredulously, his eyes wide. He lets out a long exhale, then clear his throat again. "I mean. Ahem. Do what again? I don't know what you're talking about. Absolutely no idea. We were just. Talking. About fixing my amnesia. Right? Yeah." He backs away toward whatever direction Drake headed in. He's out into the hallway, but then pokes back in momentarily. "What he doesn't know can't hurt him, right?" he whispers.

Supergirl has posed:
"I'm not lying to my boyfriend. That'd be as good as cheating and I mentioned him-in space, we were talking." Kara shoos at Lar to go see his friend. "Heat of the moment, it won't happen again, right? We're neighbor aliens and friends. Now go. I need to talk to Kal about what can help you in the fortress." She leans back against the windows, her hand pressed to her chest. Oh Rao is she confused now.

Mon-El has posed:
    "Well you don't have to lie to him, just uh--you know--don't ask, don't tell?" Lar kind of blurts out. He purses his lips and nods quickly. "But yeah. Yeah, of course. Uh-huh. Heat of the moment, definitely. He'll understand. He will. Going now. Going." ZIP! He's off to check on Drake.
