[The situation is a strange one, and there's danger lurking not too far away, but Lois can't help feeling incredibly fond in this moment, with Kon offering his awkward explanation and defending Clark's integrity, as if there was even a second where she might have thought he'd cheat on her.
There's curiosity there, too. Wondering who made Kon, what human contributed the DNA, how his Clark must feel about this, what sort of life he's led until now, but she knows when to turn off the reporter in favor of just being a person.
She takes his hand without hesitation once it's offered and he's formally introduced himself, giving it a firm shake.]
It's wonderful to meet you, Kon-El. [She uses the full name out of respect, not presuming that she immediately counts as a friend just because of her relationship to Clark.] If the city wasn't under siege, I'm sure you know I'd have a hundred follow up questions, but let's start with what should I call you when you're in costume, and how can I help with the situation outside?
[She hadn't been too inclined to ask any other heroes, not when she doesn't know them from Adam, but she'll make the offer to Kon. It's a sign of trust, more than anything. If his Clark gave him a Kryptonian name, it must mean he approves, and that's enough for her, for now.]
