Marinette
11:18 AM

Humming softy under her breath, Marinette grabbed the long wooden paddle and shoved it inside the burning oven filled with now faultlessly toasted blobs of bread inside of it. (Get ur head out of the gutter ;-;)

She exhaled cheerfully as she admired her work and labor finally giving results; fresh bread to expose and sell.

Recently Hawkmoth seems to have been calming his game or just preparing something big as no akuma attacks have been signaled those last few days.

The bluette could therefore not know whether to feel anxious or enjoy her small time of equanimity. Some time ago she would have said she missed her partner in crime (or in saving the world in their case), Chat Noir. But since they revealed their identity the day they confessed she spends almost all of her time with her boyfriend.

It was an accident at first, Chat Noir was done with all his penned up emotions that he busted I front of Ladybug and declared his long time feelings for her. But that was at his remaining last minute behind his mask so as he was nearly done his kwami could hold no more and his identity was uncovered. That lead to tears, whether of joy or relief, getting spilled and truths to coming out to light. Now they were perfectly fine, omitting some quarrels that are insignificant.

The cariollon's small tintinnabulations chimed throughout the bakery signaling it's owner a client's entrance. That caught the baker's attention as a midnight tuft of hair came up to the counter.

- Hmm! It's smells like fresh bread.

Hummed a slightghtly alto voice. Marinette smiled as Kagami made her way to face her. Her now longer hair was tired into a small spout on the top of her head, the older not having found the time to go out he way and cut it. She was wearing a large silk shirt embellished with fine dragon graphics, matched with loose and large pants in a deep burgundy color. But weirdly enough, her face looked paler then usual, her cute little freckles showing off more. She obviously tried hiding what looked like dark circles but miserably failed at it as she wasn't known for her makeup skills.

- Hey Kagami. What brings you here?

- Originally? I'm here for bread. But in reality... Err... Can we talk Mari?

Kagami looked forlorn and distressed. Something was obviously bugging her and she seeked help from Marinette. That touched her because a few years prior the only feelings shared between the two were hatred and jealousy.

Marinette used to think that Kagami wanted Adrien and frankly so did the the latter. But she wasn't in love with the blonde, but the idea of being loved back. Her whole childhood she was a loner and the only friends she had in Japan she had to leave at the tender age of five, finding herself in a country the didn't even speak the language of.

But all confusion was cleared up and thankfully the two girls now became much closer. Nonetheless, Luka stayed her closest comrade as they were both the left out rests in Marinette and Adrien's relationship. That is the particular reason to which Marinette found kagami's appearance confusing. She wondered why she decided to come to her and not her usual confidant.

- Sure..?

She answered unsure.

- Well... Wait a baguette nature please.

- Of course, coming right up.

As the younger female left to bring paper bags, Kagami was left alone with her thoughts. She fiddled with her fingers as she reconsidered her choice of telling what was bothering her to Marinette.
