[ After he'd tried to make some kind of light and positivity out of the situation, that reaction wasn't exactly what he'd been expecting. It took a couple of seconds for him to piece things together and get that the 'he' was talking about, must be in reference to his father since he'd been brought up not long before.
Adrien had no idea of what kind of panic was running through her mind right now, trying to figure it out and initially falling short. He wanted to ask for more clarification or what conclusions she was coming to, but then she was at it again with surprisingly speedy, rushed words. Her... future depended on this? Wondering what to give his stick-in-the-mud father?
He just blinked a couple of times mutely before a wide smile formed, followed by a small, gentle bout of laughter. Not aimed at her, but rather her frantic mess of thoughts being so all over the place like that. ]
The only thing my father should be given by anyone is a sense of humor.
[ Which was true, considering how bland and 'work-oriented' kind of guy his dad was. Adrien then slowly focused his eyes fully back on her with a soft, kind light within them, wishing he could comfort her more than this but something kind of needed said first. He'd have to make it quick as she looked more like a blurry figure than an actual person right now. ]
You don't have to apologize to him, Marinette. I'm not... telling him it was you that did this to me. He doesn't have to know the truth... besides... do you really want to tell him that you were an akumatized Ladybug or explain everything around how this happened?
[ The way he saw it was that if she said anything at all, it could incriminate her and bring her role as Ladybug to light in some unwanted negative form. ]
I'm... going to tell him something else. How this... really cute classmate of mine found me, all beaten up and brought me to safety after there was a mysterious attack on the school.
