[ The reminder of danger serves as good reinforcement that the afterlife, apparently, isn’t free from death. Clark had heard, of course, that being brought back is possible after (and he’s not sure if he’s happy or not that there isn’t a second tier of afterlife to go to), but it doesn’t make him any more excited to lose his life. The knowledge is filed away as important information, denoted by a seriousness to his expression and a nod of the head. The water is dangerous, be careful when you step in it.
For the rest of this, though? Clark’s glad to have received some form of approval. Though he isn’t one to do things for the praise of others, that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable to get it. Clark Kent’s only human, after all.
Albeit an especially eager human, given the way he says (without hesitation, as for all his shyness Clark is as earnest as they come), ] I’ll do it. [ He’s not thinking about “poor taste” or “oh no, I don’t have time”, even when he hasn’t heard all the details of it yet. It’s probably a touch naïve, but there isn’t anything in Clark’s countenance that suspects he says “yes” because he’s an idiot. If anything, as meek as he tends to be, there’s a quiet confidence to him. A certainty that anything Bruce says, he can do.
This is less because of his own personal abilities and more because he never gives up, and when you never give up, you're bound to find a way to do anything.
His posture’s straightened somewhat now that they’ve gone into serious territory, at least as much as it’s allowed. Clark pushes his glasses up his nose. ]
