Marinette pulled the chair into the middle of the room

Chat Noir groaned & opened up his eyes, seeing himself tied to a chair

"What? Is this... hair?" He thought

"If you struggle, it's pointless" She said

"Huh? Who said that?" He asked, looking around

Marinette landed down & came into the light

Chat stared at the princess, seeing the magnificent beauty in front of him

A slight blush appeared on his face & he stayed quiet

"Who are you? And how did you find me?" She asked

"I... um..." He stammered

"Who are you & how did you find me?" She repeated, gripping the frying pan

He brought himself back to focus & cleared his throat

"I don't know who you are. But my name is Chat Noir. It's nice to meet you" He said, smiling a bit

She scoffed & placed the pan towards his face

"Other than you, who else knows my location?" She asked

"No one. But listen, bluey..." He answered hesitantly

"My name is Marinette" She corrected

"Oh, I'm sorry... anyways, listen. I didn't mean to step in here on purpose. But all I wanted was for some place to hide while I was going through the forest. But I came across this tower & I decided  to hide myself & my satc..." He started

But then he looked down at his waist, seeing that his bag wasn't on him

"Hold on. Wait a minute. Where's my satchel?" He asked

"I've hidden it. And it's somewhere you'll never find it" She answered, crossing her arms

"It's in that pot, isn't it?" He guessed

She hit him with the frying pan & he groaned, opening his eyes again

"Now it's hidden where you'll never find it" She said

"So, what exactly do you want with my hair? To cut it? Sell it?" She asked, walking around

"What?! No! The only thing I want to do with your hair is to get out of it! Literally!" He answered

"Wait, so you don't want my hair?" She said

"Why on earth would I want your hair? Look, I was being chased, I found this tower, I climbed it, end of story" He replied

"You... You're telling the truth?" She asked

"Yes! Absolutely!" He answered

Tikki glared at him but then Marinette pulled her aside

"I know. I need someone to take me. But Mother disagreed" She whispered

Tikki squeaked in assurance

"Yeah. I think he's telling the truth too" She said

Tikki squeaked again

"He doesn't have fangs. I guess it's my only choice" She decided
