[ no apollo you were so convincing, don't ruin the Cool Lawyer Visage now. just kidding, adrien sympathizes, and he's brushing off mud with very little results. he's probably making things worse, honestly, and his eyebrows furrowing together with mild frustration at that point before he moves on to what ~his saviour~'s speaking about.

a glance to the sword, then back to apollo. ]

Or maybe cold mud. Cutting off the tentacle and running away really fast could've been a good backup plan.

[ HA. ha ha. gotta work with what you have when magical girl everything isn't an option. judging from the way adrien's smiling, it's pretty clear he's glad things turned out this way too. ]

Thanks for helping me out.
