This time--

Well, this time, Bruce's foot catches on an immovable object, Clark instinctively setting heel to floor without thinking about it beyond a muscle memory desire to escape the indignity of last time. Topside, he doesn't cheat as much, other arm coming around in a deflection designed to buckle Bruce's strike, leaning backwards.

Belatedly, that foot lifts to step out of the grapple, this side shy of sheepish.

The problem with the bored brick wall effect is that it does not change the ways Bruce is, personally, in action and history and existence, endlessly fascinating, and still impressive. Clark should find it off-putting, the deflection, the blanking. He mostly finds it frustrates his curiousity without doing anything to quell it.

Without prompt, Clark goes to do as Bruce did: foot to ankle, hand to arm, mostly to see what he does as opposed to ardent desire to put him on his ass.
