I figured you had, since you speak the language without any kind of accent. I only do so because I was raised by humans.

You were really lucky to be able to grow up between your own people.

[quantifies]

[a brief pause]

How was it that you did not?

[andaway]

My planet died when I was a newborn. I'm- [the only survivor? No, that isn't right anymore.] ...one of the few survivors. I was sent to Earth and raised as a human.

[quantifies]

Bah gropa. I am...sorry to hear this, Kal-El.

[andaway]

It's fine. [It will never be 100% fine, but he's done all he can to protect what's left of his people now. Things will be alright.

(No they won't Kal you live in a comic book world).]

I know a lot about my culture thanks to some technology my father left behind for me. You told me about yours, so if you wish I could return the favor.

[quantifies]

I would be honored to learn more about your birth planet. The technology that educated you must have been very advanced.

[andaway]

It is, I suppose, compared to Earth. But that actually gives me trouble sometimes: when you're used to dealing with futuristic technology sometimes the simplest gadget is even harder to use.

[Lois laughs at him, but tablets are haaaard.]

[quantifies]

I understand completely.

[Not everything on G'loot Proktaw is more advanced than this version of Earth. But enough is.]

[andaway]

[That makes Kal laugh pretty openly.]

I figured you would. You remind me of a friend I have back home- he's from Mars as well. Or our version of Mars.

[quantifies]

[Reflexively, Croach opens his mouth to correct him, but stops. In another universe, it may be acceptable to designate G'loot Proktaw as 'Mars', though he cannot truly approve.]

I would be very interested to know about your version of my planet.

[andaway]

If you'd like to meet, I can tell you all about it alongside my own planet. And all the other aliens, if you're curious.

[quantifies]

I would be under onus to you for this meeting.

[But it's a good onus!]
