[ doesn't adrien know all about worrying. despite the fact he understands he had no control over the situation, he still really does feel bad for raising any alarms. not that he doesn't, you know, raise those with his dad all the time.

a n y w a y. ]

We can put that right below "being confusing" on the list at this point.
Have you been okay?

[ wait, is that a weird question to ask after only been gone a couple of days — even if it felt like way longer? is it also weird to miss someone when you had no idea they existed until right now, after the time to miss them's passed? cerealia! ]

I mean, I know it's just been a couple of days but... yeah.
I didn't mean to freak you guys out.

Indeed. But I've been fine - it's Marinette that you should be focusing on. She was far more vocal about her concern.

[ and now that he Knows Things about her feelings towards adrien... well, it wouldn't hurt to at least angle things in the right direction. that isn't meddlesome, right? right.

besides, he isn't lying. the poor girl was close to panicking. ]

I know; we won't hold it against you. But if I may ask, were you able to return home?

[ matchmaker steven. it's also weird to hear about (and also observed) marinette's concern when he was hanging out with her playing video games and seeing her at school. ]

Marinette's... really nice like that. I'll try to make it up to her — thanks for being there in the meantime.

[ good luck trying to shove the right direction near this bundle of oblivious denseness. ]

And uh, where I went was definitely home. I think?
I didn't remember anything from here while I was there, though. A few months' worth of stuff happened too.
So... confusing.

No need to thank me. I did what I believed was the right thing.

[ and that was to stop a poor lovestruck teenage girl from turning the entire colony inside out. thankfully, he managed to keep things in check. ]

I thought so - that lines up with what some acquaintances of mine told me about the circumstances. I'm afraid I don't know much about it myself.

Thinking it was the right thing doesn't mean I can't appurreciate it.
(Get it?)
( ^..^)ﾉ

[ HAAAAha just some lighthearted talk in the midst of him pulling a lot more leather than usual. and also because having questions here and there is a little bit frustrating; not that he'd admit that out loud. ]

I'll be really surprised if anyone actually does know a lot about mysteriously pulling Houdinis back home.

[ ..... would steven even get that reference?? it doesn't occur to adrien to think otherwise, nice job adrien. ]

Ha ha. Yes, I get it.
:)

[ this is only his third time using an emoticon - be patient with the dad texting. it really did make him smile, though.

honestly??? he might get it, but i literally have no idea because pokemon would never address that so i'll just assume that he can infer from the context. ]

It's just one more thing we'll have to investigate.

[ .........

!! ]

Woah.
At least "How to Make Steven use a smiley face" isn't one of those things anymore.
Puns, huh...?

[ no use lingering on the things they can't really solve at the moment. not when not!dad did a hip texting thing. look at that. ]

Is it really that out of place to see from me?

[ :( ]

Hey, I'm teasing.

[ ㅇㅅㅇ

.... ]

... Okay, you don't really use them, so it's kind of a surprise.
Supurrise?
Not a bad one!

I gathered that.

[ he's just a delicate flower. be gentle, not!son. ]

I hadn't seen the need to before, but someone I know convinced me to use them every once and awhile.
I suppose you could say they... "rock"?

[ ah.

so, steven can't hear it, but adrien definitely laughed at the screen. ]

Competition! Do my puns need to get... boulder?

[ somewhere, ladybug is crying. ]

Smiley faces are like puns.
They just add something, you know?

Please don't take my abilities for granite, Adrien. If you intend to make this a challenge, you will lose.

[ he usually keeps the geology puns under wraps for when he's had a few too many, but he knows adrien won't go blabbing about this and shatter his cool public appearance. ]

I'm beginning to learn that.

[ oh my god, is it a wise decision to engage a guy who literally has stone in his name to a rock pun-off? maybe he should stay in his comfort zone, aka cat puns, and not shove into things he doesn't understand.

... nah. ]

I'm gonna need laughing breaks in between texts.
Okay, so...
That was a gneiss one, for sure, but not pawsome enough to scare me off.

d(=^･ω･^=)b

[ ( ron swanson voice ) I know what I'm about, son. ]

I'm afraid I'm ahead of you by a mylonite. Unless you're aware of various different types of geological specifications, you'll find your apatite for competition severely lacking.

[ ...................

ah

hm

he fucked up here. yes. ]

Maybe this wasn't as... sedimentary as I thought it was.
This might be less of a contest and more being between a rock and a hard place.

[ yep. ]

Of quartz you would say that. Now that you know, consider it a learning opportunity. You stick to your bismuth, and I'll stick to mine.

Unless, metamorphically speaking, you'd like to admit to your faults when it comes to this particular knowledge? I'm willing to start with a clean slate.

[ .......................

well, schist. adrien's note to self: don't try to beat steven in geology. just... don't.

fatality. ]

You really like rocks.

They're a passion of mine.

Yeah, I can tell. I feel like a pebble.

[ kind of. he's impressed, of course, since steven knows a lot... but he got rocked real hard near the end there. ]

I kinda wonder how you would've reacted if you saw Cœur de Pierre now...

I did warn you, but don't feel too discouraged. You showed some good initiative.

[ don't fucking mess with the rock maniac. but that second part does make him raise an eyebrow. "stone heart"? ]

Care to elaborate?

Edited (SHIFT) 2016-05-28 14:38 (UTC)

I'll take "you'll lose" from you waaay more seriously.
That just means I'll need to brush up on the rock puns for next time!

[ guess who doesn't learn. yeah, this kid. ]

Stoneheart was an akuma victim. Like, an unwilling supervillain. The first one we faced.
He was huge and made out of all rock, so...

[ great for a fuqing nerd ]

I wish you the best of luck with that endeavor.

[ you'll need it, kiddo. but he appreciates you trying. ]

I see... I suppose asking what kind of rock it he was made of would be missing the point?

[ at least he's self-aware. ]

[ pft. oh, steven. ]

Hm...
What would you make a giant rock guy out of?

Well, that depends on the context. If one was looking for the toughest and most optimal exterior for fighting, metamorphic rock would be the best. Slate is the first thing that comes to mind due to its natural water resistance, but again, context could mean a different material could be better... A quartz sandstone, perhaps.

[ he's honestly, seriously thinking about this. ]

Edited 2016-05-30 20:54 (UTC)

[ ... don't know what he expected here. but since this is adrien, he's not going to shut down this serious line of thinking. ]

Main obstacle: cat-themed superhero hitting it with an indestructible staff over and over again.
