So, who all here is into racing?

[simple, direct, to the point. she's smiling as she says it, though. It's about equal parts mischievous and competitive.]

Oh! And for anyone working on or interested in Mr. Kent's newspaper, I'm going to be writing a section on automotives. If anyone has any information on any of the vehicles or mechanics here, I'd love to talk shop. Thanks.

[She gives the camera a little wave, and disconnects.]

[Clark doesn't bother telling her he probably knows enough different languages and dialects to be able to make a rough translation, for all he knows her world could be completely different. And the more he lays low on Kent's knowledge, the better.

He simply nods at her when she starts reading and listens closely. It's not a bad article, and he's pretty sure there aren't many non-professional people who could do better. Let alone people her age. He isn't going to change anything on the articles people write unless it's offensive, just make sure they are grammatically correct and with no spelling mistakes. This wasn't the daily planet, this was a newspaper to inform people as much as possible about everything in this strange world.

But even if it had been professional, Clark wouldn't have much to change on this one, only tell her to make it more personal and less direct next time.]

This is... impressive, Asami. I'm pretty sure we could actually get more than one article from this, if you wanted.

[she beams! she's a little proud of her work, okay.]

Do you think so? I wasn't sure how much to write... I've never done anything like this before.

[Clark nods, understanding.]

You'll get the hang of it easily, but for now you can write as much as you want. It doesn't have to be limited to one single article, so if it did end being too long we can just split it.

All right. Thank you, Mr--

[... she pauses and ducks her head a bit.]

Clark.

[Clark smiles when she switches to his name.]

No need to thank me, really. And if you find anyone who'll race you please tell me, I'd love to write an article on that.

[stickshift]

I'll definitely do that.

[racing is her thing, okay.]
