Kryptonians have too many rules and regulations. For instance, there is a very long, and dry, list of things you are supposed to do when courting someone, all of which Eirene keeps forgetting the moment she's not actually looking at it.

It's taken over a month to get Jor-El to agree to this, even though it's highly irregular (he posited that Kal-El should be courting her, but Eirene has no father to ask, so this is how it is) and quite possibly entertainment for the entire planet.

Eirene isn't even sure why she's doing this, except that it's very important that Kal stays in her life. Someday she'll return to Earth, and if he's still alive, she wants him to go with her. For now, though, the goddess is just going to leave a bundle of flowers on his doorstep while no one's around.

Because, really, she can't keep all the rituals straight and this is the best idea she's come up with.

"They will not live forever."

Beat.

"Will they?"

"No." There's a sad shake of her head. "Only a few weeks at best."

"I see." He studies the flowers a bit longer and then removes a vase-shaped container from a shelf and starts to set the stems inside.

"Is there a meaning to this gift?"
