[ She is so calling Adrien kitten the next time she sees him.

Which, as she stands there waiting for Cat Noir to "investigate", she suspects will be in less than a minute.







SURE ENOUGH. HE IS MAKING THIS SO EASY SHE CAN'T EVEN. It's actually a genuine struggle not to give herself away and ask him right there, turning towards him and instead pretending to be surprised. ]

There you are! Agreste, I swear, the next time you ditch me to play hero like a reckless nut I'm shoving you into a locker.

[ She punches his shoulder for emphasis, but it's only just a LITTLE harder than a love tap, if she's honest, not meant to actually hurt or bruise, but make a point. ]

... And thanks. That was dangerous, but brave. He might've... I don't know, but I was worried.

[ She exhales, bringing a hand up to run through her hair, pushing it back from her face, braid and all. ]

[catpunned]

[ Alright, so he was maybe expecting like, a slap to the face? His shoulder was unprepared. He leans away from the punch, laughing playfully—

But mainly he's just relieved. ]

It's okay. Ladybug and Cat Noir did most of the work... but I heard that you didn't do so badly yourself.

[ Ladybug's probably found the akuma and purified it by now... right? He wonders how long a hit like that would put a guy out for, but decides he does not want to find out for himself.

...Also does not want to be shoved in a locker, thank you. He adds: ]

Cat Noir was very impressed.

[sweettalker]

[ He's well informed for someone who "didn't do much", but this too she shall let pass. Is it strange that she's... oddly nervous? Excited? She's carrying around a potentially enormous secret now, but she has a thousand questions, not least of which being how Adrien will take it when or if she confronts him with the truth...

For now she'll just enjoy the reprieve, unable to help grinning at his laughter. His comment about Cat Noir and her contribution to the fight have her feeling a little self conscious, but not uncomfortable like before their talk on the tower. It helps that it's just Adrien and not the entire class. If her suspicion is correct it also isn't lost on her that ADRIEN was very impressed. ]

Yeah, well, I started this mess. I couldn't just sit around letting someone else clean it up after me. And Besides, it's like you said: They did all the heavy lifting.

[catpunned]

[ Adrien is still totally oblivious to the fact that he's being let off the hook way too easily. Maybe it's because of Piper's good acting, but he's more than happy to go along with it and not talk about it.

.......His stomach decides to growl just then, as if trying to do the talking for him.

Whoops. ]

Sorry. We never did make it to lunch.

[sweettalker]

[ Hey. Hey! That's exactly what was needed to break the tension! Piper gives it a solid effort for about three seconds, not to laugh, but finally she can't help it, relief hitting her hard. The situation had resolved itself, though... maybe she should worry a bit about the guy who was akumatized. In fact she does cast a glance back the way they'd come from.

Cat Noir- Adrien -hadn't seemed too worried, so maybe she was overthinking it. Besides, seeing her right now, she's sure THAT won't help the guy out at all.

After a moment of short silence she turns back to Adrien again and nods. ]

Yeah. There's still time before we have to get back to class. Why don't we check out that new cafe the others were talking about?

[catpunned]

Works for me.

[ Adrien shrugs, finding her laughter contagious.

With a grin on his face, he pulls out his phone, juuust to make sure they have as much time as they think they do. Then he'll lead the way, tucking the thing back into his pocket.

Right where they left off, huh? At least she did the honors this time, and didn't make him ask her out again.

But next time—next time will be easier. Next time won't be so awkward.

He'll make sure of it. ]
