"Took me longer than that." Not that he did college, but there were a lot of gas station sandwiches in his young adulthood.
Clark receives the organic wax-paper enveloped brown rice with good grace, turning it in his hands to check cooking times. Okay, well, that's fine. He gets that going first so that he won't be staring at it awkwardly for too long. Despite the confused clash of midwestern instinct and being particular about food leading to Clark Kent making dinner for people he loves relatively often, he is not exactly a natural, and makes up for it by being deliberate, careful, precise, with exact cups of water and double-checked heat levels.
So for a minute the kitchen is mostly quiet focus, clinking metal, rush of water from space-age looking taps. Thinks about what to say, ponders the things they haven't addressed yet. Kind of wants to know what college age Bruce Wayne was like, but maybe he'd be better off asking Alfred.
Decides on:
"I had a morning deadline, the day after we got back. I'd known about it for about a week, before everything."
