Summary
Marinette flinched. She rubbed her eyes, swallowing her cries and fixing her face. “Ah, I’m sorry, Tikki. I couldn’t sleep,” she lied, shakily standing up and running the cold water, wetting her face and closing her eyes. “I’ll come back to bed in a moment. I just… I need a second,” she whispered, her voice breaking as she tried so hard to keep herself together, not wanting to worry her best friend. “Go ahead and get comfortable. You don’t have to wait for me.”
The kwami frowned, floating beside her holder. “You’re not okay,” Tikki stated.
The “I’m fine” statement weighed heavy on Marinette's tongue. There was no point in lying to Tikki; she was all-knowing. Having interacted with humans for years and years with each new holder, Marinette could only assume that Tikki could notice all of her tells.
And knew when she was lying.
