[And he's just the kind to take her words for what they are. A reassurance that she understands - or at least that's what it seems like they are to him.] Maybe it's just really hard to coordinate so many people. It's likely more easy for someone to find a like minded person rather than risking causing some kind of incident or upsetting someone some how? [At least that's how Adrien saw it. People learned stuff differently anyway so maybe a cheerful greeter might not be the best for people who didn't like being around people? Might be what the booklets are for.] Exactly!
[Her laughter is kind of infectious and he's laughing softly to himself - a polite restrained laugh.] I can be, it's okay we all have our moments. Human nature right? [Adrien grins at her.] Sometimes we do stuff without meaning to. The best we can do is try to make it right if we did harm then try better next time.
[Even if he had noticed he might have just thought it was a strange custom where she was from. He's already aware that no everyone is from the same place and not everyone is the same as him. So maybe it was just a habit from home that she defaulted to but when she realized Adrien didn't know it she adjusted.]
'Good boy'? [Adrien whispered the words tilting his head on confusion. He's pretty sure he's never heard that a day in his life so he's just very confused.] Is that some kind of praise? [He laughed softly.] It's just if you say something too much it stops seeming like a real thing. [Or maybe that was just him?]
There you go again. [There's a teasing amused tone to his voice with a laugh buried under it that he's not letting escape because he's afraid it would be too loud and startle her.] I'm sure it will. Oh.. Well whatever it was it will be fine. I'm certain of it. [Adrien seems content in this knowledge. He knows there are things she won't share with him - that there are personal things that he won't be privy to. This must be one of those.] Then it makes sense for you to be like this. It's a good decision for the both of us and I will never put you in a position to regret choosing me out all the others here. I swear it, My Lady. [There's a solemn determination to the words as if he's made some kind of vow - Marinette might recognize the tone from a few conversations she's had with Chat - like after Stoneheart.]
Oh ouch! There goes whatever kind of ego I ever had. You just had to burst my bubble. [But even as he tries to sound somewhat offended and upset he's not managing and there's a hint of amused delight to his voice.] I don't know. What do you want to think of when you think of me? [It's Adrien's voice but Marinette might be able to imagine a part of cat-like eyes and an easy smirk to go along with them.] Good. I'm glad. I've been worried you might be allergic. [There's a pause for a heartbeat then a soft, gentle request.] Can you change me back now? I'm pretty sure they gave me instructions on how to get to our temple. We should go check it out together. It's going to be our home.
