[ admirable, huh...? he doesn't feel like it right now. not with steven dying and with the flamine telling him what it did. he just feels a bit overwhelmed, unable to do anything about the situation with steven then and the situation now with ladybug, his father, everyone being apparently dead. nothing to do besides wait.
everything besides that he takes at face value.
there's another moment of hesitation as the what ifs ebbed away slowly and the relief washed in again; he insisted, and if steven said he's okay even after that, adrien'll believe him.
so, steven's fine... he didn't lose steven.
and with that conclusion settled firmly in his mind, the everything collecting the past couple of days bubbles over, and he takes one step, and then another, before moving forward quickly to hug the older man. this is another one of those times where he shouldn't, but— he wants to, so there we go.
