[a+ for trying, as always. Adrien walks over to her]

Of course. Is something wrong, Marinette?

[missmaladroite]

I, um, erm, just wanted to talk a little bit! That's all.

[nervous laughter... SHE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S IN A ROOM ALONE WITH ADRIEN ///]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[she'd been handling the murder stuff so well when it was announced adrien forgot she had far more reason to be nervous about it than him!!! poor marinette!!! no wonder she is nervously laughing!!!!!!]

Of course. You know you can talk to me anytime.

[missmaladroite]

[Clearly that must be it. She checks to make sure no one is around, and then closes... the door...]

[uh oh]

Of course! I know we can talk anytime!

[..... stop laughing, Marinette]

A-Anyway, I think we have a big problem.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[sees nothing wrong with this closed door]

[adrien resists the urge to go "what tipped you off" jokingly because she's nervous now is not the time to be ass noir. i mean chat noir. i mean they're the same tbh]

... Do you mean besides the "Cradle Project"?

[i mean murder and kidnapping is a big problem marinette]

[missmaladroite]

Well... yes, obviously! [just keeps laughing nervously, but]

Do you really think someone's going to fall for that "motive"? It's so obviously a trick!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he gives a sigh]

I'd hope no one would fall for something so obvious, but... people can react badly in situations like these. We should be careful either way.

[missmaladroite]

We have to show them we're better than this game!

[....]

If I can figure out how.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'm sure you'll figure something out. You're smart, Marinette.

[and also like adrien will help as CHAT NOIR, SECRETLY]

[ADRIEN SAID SHE WAS SMART]

[INTERNAL SCREAMING]

[INTERNAL GUSHING]

[INTERNAL COMPLETE STOP OF EVERYTHING]

[missmaladroite]

Y-Yes, well, not as smart as you! I mean, I'm smort, but er-- no, I mean smart, no, I mean--- ah---

L-Let's do our best!

[Nailed it]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[is she going to be ok...]

Right. I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

[missmaladroite]

[No]

Eheh... of course, now that you're here...

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Don't worry about anything here, alright? I'll protect you.

[:)]

[obviously because he's a superhero and she isn't!! and also he is just reiterating but she seems like she needs it]

[missmaladroite]

[bitch please]

Right, and I will... protect me, too! Ehm, protect you too!
