[OOM: In Smallville, Clark isn't having much fun.]

Clark doesn't hang around the main bar very long when he enters - too loud today - and heads outside, walking along the lake shore. He can still hear just about everything that's going on, right down to the rustle of demon bunnies in the forest, but at least out here the conversations emanating from the bar overlap enough that it's more a background buzz.

It's preferable to a hundred mooing cows, at any rate.

He stops a fair distance away from the main building and picks up a few rocks, casually tossing them into the water. Occasionally, he actually puts a tiny bit of effort into it and a few land clear on the opposite shore.

"I think we all are, now and then. Or choose to be. The truth isn't always easy to accept." And he's frowning again.

[shortofcrazy]

"Nope." He looks out across the lake for a minute or two, then gets up, brushing himself off. "I'd probably better get back." 'Inside, before Chloe starts wondering where the hell I disappeared to' goes unspoken but implied. "I'll see you around?"

[hero_farmboy]

"Yeah, you will." It's said in all seriousness, partly because yes, where Chloe goes Clark will surely follow, but also because he really does intend to look out for Riley.

"Take care."

Riley lifts a hand and heads inside.
