Their usual stroll happens a bit later than normal today. After bidding his lovely companion, Ladybug, goodbye. Chat Noir leaps from houses to houses, returning back to the enormous mansion he has always called home. 

His soft blond locks flutter in the cool breeze. Chat sighs unconciously and mindlessly, letting his free mind drift off...

That's when his sharp ears caught the sound of... humming? His eyes seem to light up almost instantly, those vibrant emerald green eyes lit up with interest. He breathed out a surprise 'Woah~'

Such pure and beautiful sounds, so warm and lovely, so emotional and expressive... He has got to find out whose voice was that! It's not every night that one gets to enjoy such a gorgeous voice as such.

Telling himself that, it was only a few minutes later when Chat successfully track down the source of the sound. It was a girl, a maiden to be exact! 

A pretty petite female, basked in the chilly moonlight, with closed eyes and soft hair flowing lightly in the cool air of the night. Chat felt his breath momentarily got caught in his throat. 

His mind was blank, there could hardly be any phrase to describe her. Fascinated, right after when the mysterious female stop humming, Chat unintentionally jumps behind her. 

But as fascinated as he is, Chat Noir is also excited, too excited. His excitement causes him to be careless enough that his tail accidentally makes a noise when he lands. 

Turns out, it was a small plastic cup with some leftover droplets of tea in it, seems to be Jasmine tea. Chat whips his head down to glance at the cup, his cat-like eyes held annoyance. 

The first thing that come into the lean male's eyesight was the maiden's terrified face. Her pretty (e/c) orbs held fear and absolute alert, her hands clench tight in her lap, those angelic lips of hers form into a line, unable to form sounds. 

'She was biting her lips out of fear and alert?' - The blond male wondered to himself silently. 

- W-who are you? 

The female finally speaks up, voice barely above a whisper. Anyone could tell that the girl was trying hard to mask her scared tone, which she failed miserably. At least she tried though. 

Chat mentally chuckles at the girl's behaviour. Putting his clawed hands up, he backs down, mouth offering an apologetic smile:

-  Woah woah princess, calm down. Sorry to scare you like that, it's just me, everybody's lovable Chat Noir here~

He smiles a closed-eye smile, only to later come face to face with the female's confused gaze and silent response. 

- Haha, I'm sorry to scare you like that, I really don't mean to, I swear. 

This time expecting the girl to at least reply, Chat was greeted with silence once more as the girl furrows her eyebrows in deeper confusion. 

'D-does she not know me?' Chat inquires quietly in his mind. 

- I'm sorry?

'Merde! She really doesn't know me...' - Chat curses. Laughing nervously, scratching his head, the boy's so-called tail waves in nervous.

- Haha... I'm sorry, my lady, for my behaviour. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Chat Noir, the protector of our beautiful city of Paris along with my companion Ladybug. I'm sure you will heard of us soon. It is my pleasure to be your acquaintance.

He bows at the end of his tiny speech, failed to notice the change in the maiden's gaze. Her eyes widen. (Name) has only moved to Paris about a week ago but sadly, she has some difficulties fitting in with the environment.
