Marinette immediately quieted, her face becoming somber. “We’re trying not to attract attention to ourselves, remember? We’re ghosts.” He looked around to make sure nobody was looking at them. He glanced down to her and nudged her discreetly, his artificial smile becoming wide and real.
He had his own artificially sweet smile on but his eyes quite clearly begged for a quick death. She took in his expression and had to stifle the laugh that resulted. She looked up at Adrien again in search of an anchor to reality. She couldn’t show weakness like that, not here. She fought the urge to fiddle with the belt in her nervousness. A mesh with strategically placed blood red decorations overlaid the dress, hugging her bodice until it reached her hips then dropped into a flowing skirt that ended just before it could pool on the ground. It was a black so dark it almost appeared to draw in the light around it. She was especially proud of her dress and the work that had gone into it. She ran her hand over the skirt of her dress, letting the feeling of the fabric and the knowledge of all that had gone into it soothe her. That added onto her already existing anxiety had her ready to bolt at the slightest provocation. But seas of artificial smiles had always unsettled her and currently she was surrounded with so much artificial sweetness she felt like she was walking through a kid’s cereal aisle. She’d dealt with far, far worse than a few judgmental, heartless asses who had no real interest in her. Marinette took a breath and let it out slowly. “We just have to find him and we can leave,” he reminded her. She gave Adrien a shaky smile and nodded. “You can do this Marinette,” Adrien whispered encouragingly, echoing the mantra she’d been whispering to herself for the past two days.
