[meouch]

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...

[geophile]

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?

[meouch]

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 ]

[geophile]

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. ]

[meouch]

[ pft. oh, steven. ]




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

[geophile]

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. ]

[meouch]

[ ... 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.

[geophile]

[ i honestly don't know what he expected either. ]

In that case, I'm sure sandstone will do. [ :) ] Though regardless of what it was made of, I do hope that things turned out well for you in the end.

[ back to dad mode. ]

[meouch]

[ ... hey.

wait. ]

... That was you teasing me.
I think.

[ he doesn't know??? DAD. ]

But yeah, things turned out okay, with some bumps. That's always what happens when you're new to something, isn't it?
(Magic rock's the answer, by the way. Probably.)

[geophile]

Very astute of you, Adrien.

[ yes, he's teasing. he just does it in a roundabout way that no one expects ever. but he was being half-serious too, so ??????? it is a mystery. ]

With luck, yes. If anything from what I've seen, you've settled into your role quite well.
