When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

Of course! [BECAUSE YOU ARE A USELESS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS - I MEAN]

Besides, you can help protect people this way! You could be a literal bodyguard, no?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he hesitates for a second before he leans forward with a grin]

Are you saying you need a bodyguard again? I wouldn't mind being your knight in shining armor this week.

[the thing with the mask is it absolutely is a confidence boost on doing these kinds of crazy stunts, so he kind of leans away after a beat, rubbing the back of his neck as he looks anywhere but Marinette]

...Or anyone else's.

1/2

[missmaladroite]

[Okay. She can do this. Be cool, Marinette, he's Chat Noir, just like always, and she's Ladybug!! They banter!! It's no big deal.]

If anyone's in need of a knight in shining armor, mon chaton, it's you. Luckily, I'm here to make sure no one steps on your ta...

[missmaladroite]

[oh god no she can't do this IT'S ADRIEN SHE'S DYING]

[hides her face]

[awkward pause]


...il.....

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[they... almost... had it... ok agreste DETERMINATION you can DO THIS]

I didn't know you cared so much about my well-being, Buginette. I'll swoon for you anytime.

[HE DID IT?? SORT OF???? his face turns bright red slowly because oh my god he made a princess joke on himself kill him this is so uncool]

[missmaladroite]

[this is so weird what is he doing what are they doing she wants to hide]

Yes, well... we're partners, aren't we?

[that sounds a lITTLE UNCERTAIN but she's stopped with the embarrassing flirting]

[briefly]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[--!!!]

Yes, of course! [a ... bit too eager there, adrien... he clears his throat to sound less "PLEASE LOVE ME" before adding:] Always.

[missmaladroite]

[This is gay]

[or straight]

So I'll catch you whenever you swoon.

[so... smooth...]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[honestly. to him. it absolutely is. wide eyed stare goes here etc]

Um. Right. You're-- [did his voice just crack a little. coughs. #swagger] You're always making me swoon anyway.

[he... winks... he's trying ok]

[missmaladroite]

[Adrien... please??? THIS IS SO SAD]

[What's sadder is that she doesn't even notice his voice crack, she's just so stupidly enamoured and trying so hard not to melt.]

[Okay, time to try Ladybugging again]

Oh? Aren't cats supposed to have excellent balance?

[Except this is delivered with the trademark Marinette awkwardness so #swagger]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[even with awkward voice work, any amount of ladybugging is enough to get adrien Pumped Up and ready to flirt]

Yeah, well... That's how much you affect me. Luckily, you're always there to make sure I land on my feet.

[wow that was almost smooth. almost]

[missmaladroite]

[keep it in your fursuit pants.....]

[almost. except it really isn't, and it reminds Marinette of Chat, which is good because it makes her slightly less awkward.]

Well, we can't have you breaking a paw, m-- [clears throat] minou.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[listen whatever it takes to make marinette less Awkward is good enough for him, which is why he says]

I'm made of tougher stuff than that. You're free to sweep me off my feet without worry any time.

[HE DID IT thats embarrassing BUT HE DID IT]

[missmaladroite]

[oh my god]

[she looks pleased, even though she's blushing. Chat Noir being Adrien is terrible, but it feels good to banter with Adrien like this.]

[just don't think too hard about it, Marinette]

You know I'd always catch you if you were to fall - even if you fall frequently.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[Adrien's falling into it more easily now, leaning closer to her with a grin]

And you don't? I've done my fair share of catching you, if I remember right.

[considering how often marinette has groped his chest fallen into his arms, he's not wrong]

[missmaladroite]

[starts to reach out for his face to do that scritch thing... but she chickens out and lightly boops his nose instead]

[then immediately draws her hand back]

Not nearly as much as a certain someone. I suppose not all cats are graceful....

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he nearly goes cross-eyed following her finger booping him... and he just ends up laughing]

Neither are Ladybugs, in that case, "Miss Maladroite". [doxxes marinette over their first real meeting, forever]

[missmaladroite]

[wow, rude!!!!!]

Well, I learned from my mistakes.

[no she didn't] And besides...

[she wants to say 'maybe it's you who knocks me off my feet' but can't muster up the courage to]
