Taking a break was indeed what she needed.
At least less things to worry about and more time to focus on what was really important right now.
After Kitty Section’s first successful debut, Marinette couldn’t help but think of what their next step would be.
She wanted to do something more for them since now they had their music out there, which bought her to the idea that Kitty Section needed merchandise.
There must be some new fans out there.
It wasn’t far-fetched jump to make.
Visiting The Liberty in the morning, excited to share her idea with them, Marinette slowed to a stop when she saw no one on deck with their instruments still there (except Luka’s).
Even though she was told that they weren’t going to practice, deciding to simply hang out today and had invited her to join, Marinette looked confused until she heard she heard some strumming coming down below the deck.
Smiling, she tentatively came on board, keeping an eye out for the Captain, wanting to greet her, however, she didn’t see her on deck or when she headed below to the lounge.
She felt slightly bad that she was boarding without permission, but she had gotten one yesterday so it should be alright to just board their ship, right?
As she stopped on the steps to the lounge, Marinette smiled when she saw Juleka and Rose sitting on the long blue couch with Ivan and Mylène who hasn’t been able to see him since they were busy with the band.
When her eye landed on Mylène, she couldn’t help but inwardly frown.
With a clear head on her shoulders, she felt that she had failed the girl from not getting her to see the truth. And she couldn’t help but feel a bit selfish that she was taking a small break from Lila-related things while they still believed in the lies.
“This problem seems to be making you feel… distressed.”
She paused in her thought. If Luka realised that she was stressed, then she should take a break before she spiral out.
Besides, she was going to fix things once she finished with her small break.
Looking back at Mylène again, Marinette was happy to see the happy couple finally get to spend time together. Preparing Kitty Section’s debut and the Bob Roth incident didn’t leave the couple much time together so it was great that they were hanging out now.
She was just about to call out to them when she looked around the room once more and frowned.
Where was Luka?
Her frown didn’t stay long when she realised that coming from the Couffaine’s shared room was someone playing a lovely tune, and if she listened hard enough, she was sure that there was humming.
She would have love to listened to some more, but the strumming and humming took a pause before starting back up again.
It seems the song was a work in progress.
Shaking her head, Marinette reminded herself why she was here in the first place and knocked on the wall in place of a door, signalling them of her presence, “Hey guys.” She greeted in a grin.
“Marinette!” Rose greeted enthusiastically, waving an arm at her.
As soon as her name was spoken, the music stopped playing and Luka peeked his head out of his room, checking to see if she was really here. When they locked eyes, his smile widened into a welcoming one as he stepped out of his room, “Marinette.” He greeted, walking up to her.
