[bloodbiter]

Yes. And in case there's an item extremely valuable to someone here... Please take as much care as you can.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'll be fine. I'm "valued". [you can definitely hear the air quotes, though he turns to grin at her mischievously] You should worry about yourself. I sneaked up on you and pushed you in with no problem.

[it's lucky he's valued because he's about to get drowned]

[bloodbiter]

[gives him the Look of all Looks]

That's because I recognized your voice, and I know you couldn't actually hurt me even if you wanted to.

[you're a wuss]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[what!! mock pouts]

What's that supposed to mean? I'm tougher than I look, you know.

[and would absolutely let a fellow teen beat him so as to not hurt them so she has a point]

[bloodbiter]

Ah, of course. My mistake.

[said in the most "that sounds fake but okay" tone imaginable]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[why you gotta be so rude]

You're going to hurt my feelings, Adelina. [it's said completely in jest... though he does kick water in her general direction. isn't she already soaked enough adrien.] I'm serious, though. Don't worry about me.

[bloodbiter]

Hm... Perhaps I should be certain.

[guess what's happening

she's leaning over to push him into the pool because of course she is]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he definitely deserved that, and he flails a bit before falling into the pool. he doesn't resurface immediately, choosing instead to go shark-like for her ankles to try to pull her in

that's scandalous, adrien]

[bloodbiter]

[that works, but also

if she kicks him in the face accidentally in alarm while being pulled in he has only himself to blame]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[it's underwater so he is bruised but Fine. he does come up with a gasp, holding onto his jaw though]

Owww... Now that hurt more than my feelings for sure.

[bloodbiter]

[as soon as she resurfaces and spits out some water]

—I'm sorry. That was an accident, I promise. Are you alright...?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's fine. Believe it or not, I've been hit worse than that.

[i mean, he's usually wearing a catsuit and feels Less Pain, but, y'know. he's still rubbing onto his jaw though]

You've got a pretty good panic kick, though. --Ow. [he quickly gets out of the water for seemingly no reason @ plagg stop fighting him]

[bloodbiter]

I told you.

[out of the water she goes as well, though she glances at him for a moment after she does]

Is something else amiss?

[that extra ow seems extraneous]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Um. No, no, it's just-- a cramp. You know what they say. Don't swim after eating.

[sure that's believable. he shudders a bit as he lies on his back next to the pool]

At least I know you'll be safe from underwater attacks with those moves.

[bloodbiter]

[waves a hand as she lies back, too]

I'm safe from more attacks than that, trust me. I'm used to combat by now.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I remember. You fought a dragon. [clearly the most important part.] But swordfighting isn't as easy underwater, so, I'm satisfied.

[he's acting like he meant every bit of these shenanigans to happen and looking very serious before chuckling and giving himself away]

[bloodbiter]

More than that, though I will admit that was the largest foe I've ever faced.

[a small laugh]

It's a strange thing to find satisfactory.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

There is nothing strange in being satisfied over your safety from underwater attacks. [he puts a hand to his chest like he's mock-offended but then grins more sheepishly] ...Even if you could just stay away from the pool if that was a real problem.

[bloodbiter]

I meant more... It seemed strange that you mentioned you were satisfied when I kicked you in the face.

[adrien??]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I meant I was satisfied with your skills, not with my jaw being broken. I'll be feeling that one when I try to eat later.

[he's obviously exaggerating, though he might want to look for Jason's hoard of medical supplies for the bruise he's going to have on his chin]

[bloodbiter]

It's surprisingly easy for you to speak with your broken jaw, I must say.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

How else would I be able to tell you you broke it?

[bloodbiter]

I think it would be rather obvious, were it true.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Are you calling me a liar, Adelina?

[dramatically puts his hand over his heart in a "woe is me" fashion]

[bloodbiter]

Yes.

[so blunt]

I am sorry, though.
