[Luckily he doesn't die, and as the feathers are blown away, his sinuses let up on trying to murder him. He takes a rather snotty inhale (he is beauty, he is grace) and exhales. ]
Excuse me.
[Manners are still important. He'll just breeze past this, breezily. ]
Really? What was Alya coaching you for? Did you already figure out our ruse? And I thouht I was being sneaky about it.
[Well that sneezing fit strikes her as immediately familiar, but try as she might Marinette can't put her finger on it. Someone else sneezes like that when they're around birds... someone who makes her feel a little annoyed and happy at the same time, but who?

[They go to the same school. They're in the same class.]

He kind of stares at her for a moment while her story takes a weird turn, then...turns a bit weirder. He's some to expect some off-cut strangeness when it comes to Marinette. He finds it a little odd she's this way towards him, but not Chat. Perhaps he does something to set her off? He's not sure.
He stares a moment longer, trying to make sense of...all that, eventually settling for something that might work? Maybe?? ]

[Yeah that sounds super sketchy but he is stupidly trusting so he'll buy it. Lucky save, Marinette. ]
