'Sir, there is something you should know. Please come as soon as it's possible' Nathalie told Gabriel via their intercom. Gabriel frowned slightly, but arrived nevertheless.

'What is it, Nathalie?'

'It's about Adrien. And Duusu' she frowned at the kwami. Duusu pouted.

'I did what I had to do!'

'What- what are you two talking about?' Gabriel sighed. Nooroo rolled his eyes and Duusu shrugged at the fellow kwami.

'Your son was so upset about something that Duusu decided that creating a comforting sentimonster was an acceptable course of action' Nathalie explained.

'It worked!' Duusu chirped.

'Of course, as Duusu did it on his own, that resulted in a swarm of sentimonsters. Roaming through Paris and ruining any chances of akumatization.'

'And what shall I-' Gabriel started, but Nathalie's sharp glare silenced him.

'Duusu is fond of Adrien. Make sure that Adrien doesn't feel so upset that Duusu takes it as his task. It should never be Duusu's problem. You are the father, after all. And you must never let your search for methods of reuniting with your wife make you lose your son' she said sternly.

'Adrien will understand-' Gabriel began again, but Nathalie didn't seem to listen.

'Maybe Adrien will understand once you succeed, but what he needs is his father NOW. Duusu couldn't sense the cause of his feelings, but maybe you can get him to open up to you.'

Am I really doing so bad? He has everything he needs, Gabriel thought. But Nathalie was probably right. She often was.

'I will talk to Adrien over dinner' Gabriel said. Nathalie smiled slightly, pleasantly surprised Gabriel would finally have dinner with his son. She tapped a few things on her tablet, making sure that dinner would be laid for two. After a moment of hesitation, she also altered the menu slightly, to include Adrien's favorite.

'Dinner for two will be at seven p.m. sharp' Nathalie said. 'Prepared so that the two of you will be sitting closer together than last time you accompanied Adrien for a meal.'

'I didn't tell you to-'

'And how do you intend to talk to your son all over the table, sir?' Nathalie's patience was getting thinner minute by minute. Gabriel looked at her, defeated.

'You are right. Also please modify his schedule so that he will be free tomorrow afternoon, from three to five at least. I intend to spend some time with Adrien. If I recall, he only has piano practice then? And if he doesn't accept...' Gabriel scowled. '...maybe I will allow him to invite that bad influence friend over.'

'Consider it done, sir' Nathalie tapped corresponding cells in schedule table. 'I recommend to free more time slots in his monthly schedule permanently. Either for spending time with you or his friends. It seems they are a good support to him, sir.'

'Yes, yes. Good idea. But what if he realizes I am Hawk Moth when no akumas come while we are together? Adrien is smart, after all.'

'I can wield the Butterfly temporarily, sir. Since the transformation takes the wielders' wishes into account, I should be able to trick the public into thinking there is no change in the Hawk Moth.'

'This... this is a very good plan, Nathalie' Gabriel reached to the Butterfly pin and handed it over to Nathalie. 'Can you also recommend any activity to share with Adrien?'

A/N: Thank you for even more reviews, follows, and favs! There won't be any updates over the weekend probably; I am going to low-internet area. Go for walks if the weather allows it and dress accordingly to the temperature.
