[There are not many curse words in Kryptonian, and Kal-El has never used the few ones there are. There are, however, inflections to express his disdain towards the person he’s talking to and since this careless ape seems to be able to understand his language he might as well make the most of it.
He hovers up so he can stand up. And so he isn’t touching him anymore, but the moment his fingers aren’t touching him anymore he already misses it. That could be dangerous, but it’s also intense and interesting and Kal-El might take after his mother’s family, but he also takes after his family.]
Do not call me pretty. You will refrain from complimenting me, I do not like it. [Which doesn’t even begin to express his feelings at being called that. but he latches onto anger because it’s easy, and to confusion because it makes sense. Why would he call him ‘pretty’, anyway? Has he never gotten the chance to look into a mirror? It feels cheap and untrue and he doesn’t feel like bringing that kind of thing into his house.
Which brings another problem: how the hell is he going to explain this to their parents? ‘Well, you see, he insulted me so I brought him into our house’?
…Actually, that might work for his father. If anyone would understand Kal-El’s curiosity it would be head of the house of El. Maybe his mother will try to kick some sense into his skull but if he has his father on his side she’ll end up rolling her eyes at the thick-headedness of the house of El as Jor laughs with love in his eyes.]
