(🐱)┊HE KNEW THAT LOOK ALL TOO WELL it may seem warming and inviting to others but——Adrien wasn’t fooled by it. It was almost the same melancholy-look the model would give Nino when his own father wouldn’t let him attend activities with them. It was a troubled look in disguise, a mask Adrien used one too often as well. Nevertheless, Luka’s sapphire gaze did surprise him along with the appalling remark. Adrien wasn’t used to seeing this vulnerable side to him. It wasn’t anything Juleka ever mentioned or brought up. Though, the fact that her brother decided to share something so in depth- did stir the blond to lower his guard as well. Perceiving the other’s words as a welcoming gesture to share a little consolation above all else.
❝ N-Non. Don’t be——I was just...caught by surprise or something. Plus, Luka, you’re not alone... ❞ He softly countered as hints of nervousness were emerging, yet, he managed to relax himself. Taking a long exhale before fishing his phone out of his pocket. Opening up the gallery folder before showing a picture he rarely shares. Especially when it caused nothing but heartache.
❝ Her name is Emilie, Emilie Agreste. She’s my mother...who also left several months back. I have no idea what happen to her...even ‘til this day I don’t know if it was my fault... ❞ It was a start, but Adrien hoped it would come across as a consolation effort. Knowing the abandonment feeling all too well.
