Perhaps it was due to the wind that day, the reasoning for what would have been a nasty fall and red bruises to her exposed knees. Tripping on a frosty winter’s morning wasn’t certainly an enviable start, was it? It was a shameful display if anything. However, a flicker of black soon fills her vision and the young girl realizes that the harsh asphalt never reaches her.
Alice blinked twice, confused, before locking eyes with an incredible and beautiful green. ❝ Hah? ❞ She says, unceremoniously and as unladylike as any day. Her violet eyes take in the stranger’s – the boy’s, she realizes – and she feels the prickle of embarrassment traveling up her neck. While still collecting herself, he set her back and warned her to be more careful. She could hardly process this, though, as she had gotten very much distracted by his–
—cat ears?
❝ Not.. human? ❞ Alice’s voice was obviously confused. She then shook her head back and forth and pointed at him, ❝ no, that’s not what I meant– why did you save me! ❞ It wasn’t a question and more an accusation. ❝ I was fine, boy! ❞
Chat Noir couldn’t help but let out a laugh. This girl sure had a way with words.. “Au contraire! I’m quite human, in fact! This is just a costume.” He beamed at her, his smile looking as feline as ever- not particularly helping his case. “I’m just the purrfect combination of boy and cat!” He flexed his arms a bit, showing off.
“Anyway... I’m sure you could’ve handled yourself just fine but...” He gave her a wink, “I’m never one to let a lady struggle! Especially one as beautiful as yourself.” Chat Noir was laying his compliments on pretty thick, today.. Maybe he just wanted some friends in the new city..
Fans wouldn’t hurt either.. It’s not like he really had many of those.
He bowed towards the smaller of the two, “I’m sorry if I offended you, princess.. I would never mean to do such a thing, I only wanted to help you.”
“Oh! I feel rude not introducing myself--!”
His smile softened, and he extended his hand towards her, “My name is.. --Well you can call me Chat Noir. I’m a hero... here to keep civilians in this city safe! Pretty PAW-some right?”
