Good.

[She's nodding a bit at the response, because it was pretty similar to what she'd been told.]

That's what I heard, too. [That kind of frightened her a little, but she supposed that was just par for the course. This entire situation was a bit frightening, truth be told. But she had to be brave.] Being friends would make things easier, wouldn't it? [Unless he meant that they'd have been friends before? Ugh. Why was this so confusing?]

Maybe they intentionally kept it vague as a test. [That was one possibility. And hey, he didn't seem weirded out by the way she'd worded her previous question, so that was a win.] I guess I did. [Even though he'd technically approached her after she'd seen that vision or whatever it was.] Do you want to be mine?

[Marinette just smiled at that.] That's true.

You're right. [Trying to make sense of all of this immediately was not going to happen. She'd just have to be patient, and give it time.] I do.
