Hmm, this guy was skinny! Like skins and bones, or something! Yuki thought for a long moment, and then ran off into the nearby wooded area of the park. She had just spotted him taking a rest on a snow-covered bench, and he looked hungry!

Yuki might not have money, but she has pretty good hunting skills!

After a little sniffing, she finds a wild rat sleeping away in its hole, and she grabs its tail and runs toward the unsuspecting man.

It was strange, Clark found that he wasn’t getting nearly as many strange looks as he usually did back home when he was forced to traverse as Superman on foot. 

There were no excited whispers or pointing, no one was stopping to ask for a selfie or a hug. 

That was good, he told himself. He didn’t need distractions right now. Still, it was just plain weird to walk right past people, his cape trailing behind, and no one really caring. 

He told himself to focus on the bigger picture—getting back to his own world. It would definitely take time and effort. Any place that was able to do whatever it was they did to the sun was not going to get broken out of so easily. 

Was he allowed to talk about breaking out? What if they punished him by throwing him in the hole? It was best to tread lightly. 

The goal of the day was to track down his past self, somehow reconcile with him (how did you reconcile with a part of yourself that you didn't know, because he came from a moment in time you don't remember?), and re-merge with him. This place. This fucking island! How could it just--do this to people?! Lorene didn't want to think about it. He didn't. Nudging that train of thought too much brought up memories of white walls and white cot sheets and white exam tables and white scrubs--

--the exact thing his past self was wearing.

Gods, he didn't want to think about any of this. Lorene had gotten along perfectly fine for years just putting all of that shit out of his mind. He didn't think about the CIA laboratory anymore. Didn't think about why his soul was powered by the amulet around his neck, the piece of the soul of the Star Goddess Polaris. He didn't think about the possible repercussions of an Elven soul drawing life from a goddess, instead of from the flow of the Gaia-force, like all other Elves did. He didn't think about what his father had implied, about what Overchanneling might look like for him. He didn't think about what Elrohir had implied, about his potential lifespan--

Nope. He didn't think about any of that.

Because how the hell else was he supposed to stay sane? Putting all of that shit out of his mind was what had gotten him through the Liash Conflict in one piece. He couldn't think about the shape of his soul or the memory of the laboratory with Liash Zealots waving bio-synth hand-cannons in his face. The crazy bastards wanted him dead just for being an Elf, to say nothing of the fact that he had majyk. Who started an entire cult based on hatred of majyk and majyk kindreds, anyway?? No one sane, that was who! Lorene had not had the energy to dedicate any brainspace to his own past with that bullshit on his plate.

And then the Liash war had ended, and he had gone home. Home! With all of its myriad expectations and obligations. Nope. Who had time to think about their past? Not this Prince! And that was just the way Lorene liked it. How he wanted to keep it, thank you very much--

"Oof."

Lorene had been so focused on not thinking about it that he ran straight onto the skinny blond man before he realized it. He backed up a few steps and immediately began apologizing.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going. I didn't hit you too hard, did I? Busy day and all--hah! Nothing is ever boring on this island, is it...?"

* Ouch

Queen grimaces at the anecdote, then gives her fellow teacher a sympathetic look.

* I Think Your Subject (Hero Training) Is Of A Higher Intensity Than Any Of Mine * No One Got Hurt By Knowing How Computers Work * Unless You Count Doxxing, Hacking, Cyberbullying, Etc. * I Don't Teach Students How To Do That BTW

* Do You Feel Like You Should Continue Your Teaching In Spirale, Or Would It Be Better For Us Adults To Undergo Training Instead * I Mean I'm Still Going To Do That Either Way * I Picked Up Tae Kwon Do For When My Magic's Not Enough

this will be noted on the masterlist for you!
