Question: What does Adrien say in this picture?

⁇

It was finally the long-awaited Friday and the sun was set high in the sky, no cloud in sight. The perfect weather to go for a swim. The whole class was practically waiting for the school day to end, except for Adrien.

He already knew that he wouldn't be able to join his friends for a dip in the pool, so he was sulking during school, feeling bad for himself. His father had grounded him and he didn't know for how long this would be.

All his friends talked all day about how much they were longing for the cool water to jump in, and Adrien knew that he couldn't join their fun. He felt miserable.

Marinette, being the sweet girl she is (and the lovesick fool for Adrien), saw that his usually bubbly personality was replaced by a dejected one. She wanted to help him so badly... Not because of her crush, because apparently, this had disappeared, but because they were great friends. Of course, you had to help friends, so that was what Marinette was going to do.

After school, she practically flew to the Agreste Mansion. She ran so fast that she was there in only two minutes. Adrien hadn't even arrived yet and Marinette felt relieved over this. She wanted to talk to his father only... Adrien was only going to make her more nervous.

The camera sprung out of the wall and zoomed in on her. She jumped slightly in surprise, even though she had seen this coming.

"What are you doing here?" Nathalie's voice sounded through the speaker that was located on the wall of the gate.

"I have to talk to Mr. Agreste. It's about Adrien." She spoke, her voice slightly quivering. Nathalie and Gabriel were just such cold people and the thought of talking to them made her shiver.

The gate opened and Marinette let out a relieved sigh. She was afraid that they wouldn't let her in, but she supposed that they were worried about Adrien because of the sorrowful expression on his face today.

Just as she entered the house she saw Adrien's limousine drive through the gate and she cursed under her breath. Why did he have to be here so early?

Gabriel Agreste then walked out of his study, greeting the girl with a stern nod.

"Hello, Mister Agreste", Marinette saluted him, "I was wondering if we could talk about Adrien in private for a moment?"

Gabriel nodded, not showing any signs of emotion, before guiding her into his office. When the door closed, she was relieved that Adrien hadn't seen her.

"What can I do for you, Marinette? Is something wrong with my son?" His powerful voice questioned and Marinette met his cold eyes.

"Well, actually, yes, there is something wrong with Adrien. My friends and I noticed today that he was really disconsolate at school and we couldn't help but worry about him. The thing is, our whole class is going to the pool today and we know that Adrien is grounded, but we think that it would really help him if he did come. It would really cheer him up."

Gabriel considered Marinette's words for a few seconds before nodding. "Very well... Luckily Adrien only has piano lessons for today and we can move them to tomorrow. He's free to go."

Marinette beamed. "Thank you! I'm sure that Adrien will be very thankful."

Gabriel just nodded and led her out the door again. "I'm guessing that you are going to the pool now? If you want, you can tell Adrien the news and then ride with him to the pool."

Marinette's eyes widened. "I can't accept more, sir. Letting Adrien come swimming is more than enough." She assured him, but Gabriel simply shook his head.
