[Clark is just standing there, staring.  (Which he is good at.)  He has his suit jacket in one hand and his other is on the door he just came through, which he could have sworn was the door to his office.  Where he is standing now, though, most definitely does not look like any room in his house.]


What in the...?

But... I can't... Look, any Luke would be my Luke!

[contraltoflute]

Fair enough, then.

[Kids aren't really something she gets, honestly. She shrugs a bit.]

I'm hardly going to dictate that you can't class them as your son just because they're from a different world to you.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

The point I'm making is that I don't think you should go near them.

[contraltoflute]

Yeah, well. One of them was staying with me before, and the others are all close by where I'm staying now. So that's not going to be happening.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

What are you playing at?

[contraltoflute]

The Luke who was staying with me chose to do so. Now, I'm staying with one of the Laytons, and he has Lukes staying with him as well.

So in answer to your question, I'm not playing at anything.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

Why would Hershel have you stay with him?

[contraltoflute]

[She flinches visibly.]

...because he's met my Layton.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

Yours...?

[contraltoflute]

The one from my world, yes. I wouldn't lay claim to him in any other way, though.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

It's none of my business anyway, I'm sure.

[contraltoflute]

Quite.

[She sighs a little.]

Anyway. You'll need a room.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

I don't intend to stay here!

[contraltoflute]

Well you can't leave, so staying is basically your only choice.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

I can go back the way I came.

[contraltoflute]

Try it. You'll just wind up right back here.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

[He tries it anyway.]

[contraltoflute]

[Descole just waits for the DR to dump him back there.]

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

Well... it seems you were correct.

[contraltoflute]

Yes. So, a room.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

I suppose...

[contraltoflute]

I... guess you can probably come stay up with Layton. Doubt he'd mind.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

A familiar face would be very welcome right now.

[contraltoflute]

I highly doubt he's your Layton, for the record.

[fogmayor.livejournal.com]

For his sake, I hope not. I wouldn't wish this strangeness on anyone, especially not a friend.
