The buildings managed to make her miss home more than she'd even imagined possible though it definitely didn't help in the least that she'd stumbled over here somehow in the middle of what had to be one of the most complicated Akumas that she'd ever faced or the fact that she'd never really traveled outside of Paris or to a different country before.

Marinette's fingers chilled under the wind though it became more of a sign of her sudden nerves as she walked across the sidewalk, detransformed, and a little unsure of herself or where to begin on finding her way back home.

She missed the casual flair of Paris, the way the city just beckoned to her like the home that she'd always known within it.

Tikki was carefully nestled by her heart for the moment to ward against the chill of the wind that will hopefully die down soon and just in case she needed her in a pinch in this unknown city.

Marinette's eyes couldn't help but trace up a shadow on a building that flickered gone nearly as fast as it had arrived, and she found herself watching what looked to be a man slinging through the city on webs or something of a similar color and style.

His suit was mostly red, and she found herself reminded of how it felt to swing through Paris, how the thrill of catching air just a second before landing safely made her heart race during quiet patrol evenings.

She wondered if he ever felt nearly as at home or even adventurous as she felt when she swung through Paris by the aid of her trusty yoyo. Ladybug loved to make her way past the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of Paris and doubted that any city no matter how long she'd have to stay there would feel like Paris did to her, like home felt.

Marinette's eyes caught the figure as he made his way past another building and then up, up, and away from her line of sight. Her breath caught in her throat as the reality that she'd be sharing this city, this temporary place of residence, with what was likely to be another hero.

Too bad though that Cat Noir wasn't here to join her.
