Apparently they have get togethers like this when new arrivals come. So maybe we can just mingle around those and help out while we get answers of our own. Kairi made it seem like it was a pretty common thing. [He smiles a little bit. Kairi had been nice and he'd enjoyed learning from her. Maybe when he gets better at things he can help her meet and greet other new shinki or something.]
Just a little but it's fine. I'm not bothered by it. [Adrien joins her in a soft little laugh before giving a shrug of his shoulders.] And you deserve the same kind of treatment from yourself as you give me. Seems silly to treat a stranger better than yourself. [He nods at his own words.]
I'm sure we'll be just fine. We seem to get along well enough here and have some basic views in common. [If Adrien had understood the further implications of their words to each other he might have been pressing his hands over a scarlet face or rubbing at the back of his neck awkwardly but he didn't so none of that happened. He's fine. This is just a normal thing. This is just them taking each other as partners - a neat arrangement and nothing more.]
That works for me, absolutely. [Though he's pretty sure that she wouldn't ever make him unhappy anyway? She doesn't seem the kind of person that would do anything too upsetting. She's a nice kind girl. There's nothing about that he doesn't like.]
A tiny bit. [He offered her a sheepish little grin.] But I'm safe with you and I trust you, so we'll be fine. [And he won't. He will protect her. He's decided that - he would have done it even if she wasn't his Goddess.]
You are. [Adrien won't let her deny this or down play it with something like trying. He's only known her for a little while but he can see that in her.] Baby steps, Marinette. Everything will be fine. We'll tackle it together.
[There's a soft little laugh as her fingers touch his fabric then his voice is coming out soft and concerned.]
You're crying. What's wrong?
[There's a small rustle of fabric and the scarf shifts just a bit brushing up against her tear-trailed cheek in a delicate touch.] It will be fine. Whatever it is that made you cry, it'll be fine. [Adrien nods.]
I'm glad to hear it. [He might have been being just a little silly when he said that but seeing her crying had made him want to make her smile and laugh. He had accomplished that.] And very stylish, too. Aren't you lucky to have such a handsome fashion accessory as a Shinki?
