[ growing up in a bakery, no one knows better than marinette how food can help lift a mood, even in the most trying of times.

and, the disappearance of the Love of Her Life definitely constitutes as a "trying time."

so, when steven so kindly extended the invitation to do lunch, she was not reluctant in the least to accept, even when the gps pin revealed that he had chosen the very same café in which another incident (read: trainwreck) involving him took place. what are the odds, right? cerealia really needs some more variety up in hurr.

nonetheless, it has been a Day already, and marinette just wants to fill her tummy (COUGHand purseCOUGH) with something sweet to calm her feels, of which she has quite an abundance after the blur of the past few hours. without a second thought, she makes her way inside and spots steven sitting at, coincidentally, the same table as their previous encounter, er, rather, his encounter with ladybug. no bad jubies there, right? ]

Hey, um I made it! [ she offers a brief wave of greeting before immediately heading over, collapsing into the chair opposite from him as if her bones were made of lead. and no, you totally did not just hear a tiny "oof" just then, whatever do you mean? ] What a morning.

[ the fact that this café holds some unfortunate memories pertaining to him for marinette is unbeknownst to him - he just likes the sandwiches they serve and the pleasant ambiance it has. it makes for a good setting for light conversation, which is exactly what he hopes to have with her. they've both had a stressful morning, and while steven's intentions with inviting her to lunch were to calm her down, he hopes that he can benefit from taking his mind off of the situation as well.

a proper gentleman is always punctual, so he shows up a bit earlier from their promised time to reserve a table. when he spots her, he waves. ]

I'm glad you could come. [ he was going to pull her chair out for her, but... well, that works too. ] It's been a bit eventful, hasn't it?
