[A small groan could be heard as the video feed initially turned on.  Zatanna looked...slightly frazzled, but otherwise unhurt.  If you didn't count the part where she was holding one side of her head in slight pain, as if dealing with a headache or migraine.]

Okay.  Three things.  Three...I think.  Probably.

[Her stage presence had seen better days.  She didn't seem to care right then.]

One.  I want to go on record as stating this was definitely not me this time.  Just so everyone's clear on that much.

Two.  I did find the bottles responsible.  Hopefully.  Four total.  Unstable.  Long story.  But I have them, and they shouldn't be causing any more trouble.

[She hesitated before the next one, giving a slight wince.]

Two--no, wait, I did two already.  How many does that make it?  Right.  Three: ...the effects should wear off soon enough, but if you're still having some trouble come find me.

...preferably in a day or so.  I'm going back to bed to sleep this off.

Huh. I can see why you two would make a good team.

[Depending upon the exact nature of their respective abilities....it really was a perfect balance. He destroys all the bad stuff. She replaces it with good. Removing all traces of whatever the Bad Guys caused on any given day.]

Kind of like your powers were meant to compliment one another.

Hm. From what little I understand about it, that's how it's supposed to be. The other Miraculouses, they're designed for solo work. But ours? They come as a pair.

[And have done since time immemorial. But he doesn't know that much just yet. ]

Let me see if I got this straight. Most of these special abilities are meant to be alone. Except for you two.

I'm not saying I believe in Fate--[Actually, she kind of hates the guy. Long story.]--but that sounds to me like the Universe is trying to tell you something.

[Fate is the worst guy ever.]

Well, my kwami did tell me we were chosen by Fate, so-

[He doesn't know. It's complicated and he knows he's made it more so with all his own feelings. Still, he likes Zatanna a lot, she understands a side of his life most other people outside of Ladybug really don't, so he at least feels comfortable talking to her about these things. ]

She's given it a month here. Then, if she thinks she can, it's cards on the table time.

[Oh, Adrien, you have no idea.]

A months' a decent time. If you're patient.

I've waited this long, never thinking I'd get anywhere.

[He gives a shrug of his shoulders. ]

It's...a step in the right direction, at least.

Action

[backwordscompatible]

Good for you.

[And she truly meant it. It was always nice to see that love wasn't lost in this place. And she needed a vicarious thrill after....]

Action

[purrns]

Well, here's hoping anyway.

[His smile softens up a tad. ]

So. How're you feeling? After all the magical mishaps?
