#but ive decided maybe it's more spicy being left unstated

on the comedic side of things: chat spending most of the time post-processing and pre-ladybug-return trying to figure out what cover story to go with and having to settle on showing up as a very confused adrian who claims he was at a hotel sleeping for the last 48 hours

(Why Won't You Go Home)

Adrien, 4 days missing: "I... took a nap somewhere and lost track of time."

Adrien: "I got lost on the way home from a photoshoot?"

Adrien: "Some dude got akumatized and I was in his evil dimension, it was a whole thing."

Adrien: "I don't actually think it's been four days. Maybe you're looking at a leap year calendar?"

Adrien: "I was actually here the whole time looking for you Ladybug. But whenever I was on one side of the rubble you happened to be on the other."

Adrien: "Felix invited me out for an extended boys weekend."

Adrien: "My phone died."

Adrien: "Hawkmoth had me in a bomb shelter it was just locked from the inside."

Adrien: "I did get crushed in the rubble but I'm better now."

Adrien: "I've got nothing. Honestly I'm as confused as you are."

#ask #wwygh #ive got various thoughts on why Adrien feels he's not at liberty to detransform from Chat Noir and reveal himself #but ive decided maybe it's more spicy being left unstated #leave it as an exercise to the reader #(REGARDLESS of the reason: the longer Ladybug spends searching for him #the worse Adrien feels about it) #he wasn't expecting to have anyone so devastated by his disappearance #least of all Ladybug
