The stars look really pretty tonight, huh?

(Alya's used to the hectic chaos that is Marinette's life. She accepted it, and all other forms of chaos, since the first day Ladybug appeared. Either way, she could at least refrain from making her best friend flail too much. Unless she gave her an opening to do so again.)

[coccinelled]

Yeah. They sure are.

[They're lucky. Paris is a huge city, of course, but it isn't anywhere near as polluted with smog and all, like China or elsewhere at least. So they still have this view, even in the city. Marinette will never not adore her home for many reasons, the view among them.]

[fanofladybug]

I know something else...or someone else...who's just as pretty.

[coccinelled]

Huh? Who?

[It's instinctively out of Marinette's mouth before she can even stop herself or think on the potential implications or awkwardness depending on the answer. Because it is Marinette, of course.]

[fanofladybug]

You are.

(She walked right into it. Obviously it would only be as awkward as Marinette made it, which would be quite awkward once the answer registered in her head.)

[coccinelled]

E-eh? Me.....?

[She really did walk right into it, without even stopping to consider the obvious route Alya was going with this. At least she isn't quite as flailing or flustered over it as she might be if Adrien had said something like that.

Which probably still isn't saying much, really.]

[fanofladybug]

Yeah...you.

(She gave Marinette a soft smile, assuring her that her response was genuine.)

[coccinelled]

Oh, I don't know about that.

[But that isn't so hard to figure, with the likes of the more typically beautiful and blonde Chloe around and all. And models like Adrien at school. Marinette's more interested in fashion, clothing, than worrying much about the rest of her appearance for the most part.]

[fanofladybug]

You sure about that?

(She understands that perfectly. Alya also understands that, given time and work, that Marinette could give Chloe a run for her money on appearance.)

[coccinelled]

I--y-yes?

[Sure, she has a boost of confidence as Ladybug, but Marinette herself still has some way to go before getting there naturally out of costume. So she isn't quite so sure as Alya about this sort of thing, even if she's more assured when it comes to fashion and design.]

[fanofladybug]

Absolutely, positively?

(She turns to give Marinette a knowing look and smile. It might take time for people to come to terms with themselves, but for those who knew you well enough they'd see it right away.)

[coccinelled]

Absolutely.

[There really is something to be said for best friends. Best friends who know you better than you know yourself. Which is exactly the case with Alya, even if her friend is unaware of the Ladybug identity.]
