super connection / @yvongjvstice / clark and conner

Clark resisted the urge to puff out his chest in utter pride and hug the young hero, he'd been looking over Conner's training sessions for a while now and finally getting the chance to watch the boy in action was in a lack of words, Super. He was everything Clark was and possibly even better he was happy the two of them weren't each other's throat because god he'd get shown up easily in a one on one scenario not that he'd ever admit it to the youngster.

Clark floated down from his sky-eyed position into plain view of Superboy an ever happy smile plastered across his face "You did well for yourself so---" Clark abruptly topped midway from calling Conner son, he still wasn't sure what to refer Conner too, was the boy actually his son? he did have half of his DNA after all, or maybe a brother? The Kent's had been raising him just as they'd raised Clark those many moons ago, or perhaps just Con was just a friend but even he could admit that felt too strange because whatever they shared it was something greater than that.

"Mom and dad would be proud to see your training coming along... I mean Martha and Jonathan... not me... Not that I’m proud because I am proud of you amazingly proud if that means anything" It wasn't often the big guy was stumped but it seemed his mini-me just brought it out in him more than ever as of late.

So that clown nose looking thing on my toe is a bandage from having to get my toe nail cut out. It hurts pretty good, but not quite enough to keep me from the barn yesterday or today.

The times when I hurt are when I can really see the relationship between me and Dom in full view. Seeing as how my toe hurts, when I went out into the pasture to get him yesterday it took me a lot longer because I was going at a hobbley snails pace. He came up to when I called him and was patient with me while I adjusted my shoe and took his grazing muzzle off. What happened next really made me appreciate his willingness to be my partner. He's been a bit more extroverted lately with the cooler weather, so I was ready to correct him walking to fast or getting ahead of me as we walked back to his paddock with him at liberty. However, He just stuck with me at my gimpy pace and let me lean on him all the way into the paddock. He really helps me out when he knows I need it. 

After getting him in I went through the typical routine of grooming him and getting my stuff out to play with him. He just stood there patiently as I took my time doing everything. I got out my fold up chair so I wouldn't have to stand up the entire time while I played with him, plus I figured I would give him and I an extra challenge by my not being able to move out of the chair. He did super! He was so engaged and connected the entire time both online and at liberty. I couldn't help but smile the entire time. He even came in and just sat his head in my lap for awhile. It's always nice when he gets super snuggley like that.  

Today was pretty much the same. I'm a little less gimpy today and the cold weather helps to numb my toe a little bit. Dom was super connected and willing to try new things. His draw was super. I accidentally didn't give him enough room to circle around me without the trailer getting in the way. When he went around it I thought he was going to get disconnected and either stop to eat or head down to the round pen. However, he just went around it and then we he finally could see me again cantered right to me. He also gave me a perfect figure 8 at liberty (something he struggles with). I was blown away!  Looking forward to another fun filled day tomorrow. :)
