I don't think they really have much choice. [He considers for a moment.] I mean you wouldn't really want to let a bunch of people with powers run around wild, right? That'd be like putting a kid in a candy or toy store alone. It would be total chaos without rules or instruction. [He shrugged, rubbing at the back of his neck awkwardly.] At least that's how I see it.
Why should it? It's nice when people are happy. And they should be able to express it however they want. [He nods at this as if that nod will push his point home.] It might be a good call, yep. Wouldn't want to set a bad example, would we?
Absolutely! [Adrien is holding a hand up for a high five, grinning at her green eyes bright. He likes the idea that they're going to be a great team. That even if he's a Shinki she sees him as a partner and not just a tool or lesser extension of himself. It's good to be on equal footing - at least he thinks so.]
I'm glad you think so. [Some part of him might be worried that he's making a bad choice or that maybe his god is looking for him. But he doesn't dwell on second guessing. He can't. Or he'd never move forward and that's important. He can't just stand still here. Besides she's - there's something about her that makes him feel like this is right even if that tiny part feels a little fear.]
It's good. We're together. [It's good that they're both anxious. It shows that they're both taking it seriously.] I know. [Adrien frowns a bit seeing her expression change. There's something there. She seems upset? Hurt maybe? There's a urge to comfort her, to hug her and tell her that whatever was bothering her was going to be okay.]
You don't need to thank me. You're going to be my partner. If I can't give you my trust then we wouldn't have reached this point. [He moves resting a hand on her shoulder. His words are sincere with no trace of being just lip service. Adrien has never been anything less than honest - at least when could be that is.] Me, too.
[Adrien laughs again the sound turning into a softer laugh that becomes a giggle. Only to fade at her tears.]
It's hard to do that when you're crying.
[His voice is soft laced with concern. He doesn't know what to make of these sudden tears. Especially when she'd been so happy just moments before.]
Happy tears because I'm your Shinki? But you knew I would be. I don't really understand. Why would that make you cry? [He sounds genuinely confused. Maybe he's never been so happy he's cried before. Maybe he has - it doesn't matter though because he won't remember. Adrien snuggles closer seeking to give comfort. He's thinking hug but as he's a scarf all he does is shift closer.] As long as you're sure that it's not a bad thing and you're happy. I suppose I can learn to understand the concept.
I'll have to take your word for it. [If he had eyes he'd be rolling them right now.] Uh huh. What's with all that flattery? It's just because I'm a pretty color, isn't it? [Adrien blinks as she seems to be looking him - well not him but him over.] What are you looking for something? [He can't help but ask her curiously. But sure enough there at the end of the scarf is her name, stitched neat and small into the fabric of scarf-Adrien. Yes, he's that scarf - the one she'd so painstakingly made him for his birthday.]
