Right… I was wondering if it was in bad taste. [ What with the fear and all. It’s interesting, though, to hear anyone admit to their own fear so openly—Kal’s not dealt with that often. ]

You were truly helpful, back at that meeting around the bonfire. And the day of St. Valentine is when people on Earth show their appreciation to others, isn’t it? [ Again, it’s no tradition on Krypton, so Kal’s just sort of trying, here. ]

I didn’t want to let the day pass without saying ‘thank you’.
