Chapter 7: Encouragement

She awoke in silence and light peeking from the window. Another nightmare had happened, but Marinette found that she was able to force herself awake this time. She couldn't remember what happen in the dream, just flashes of faces and moths.

Her body was not tense, only numb. She did not scream, she did not panic, she just opened her eyes, and everything was there. Alya and Nino were curled up on both sides of her on the bed, they had insisted she sleep in the middle.

Marinette took a deep breath from where she lay, there was comfort in their presence. Alya and Nino now knew of her identity, and they stayed by her side. Even though this was never planned, it was good. She had them.

And Adrien knew her identity as well, he knew everything about being a superhero that she knew.

Marinette did not tell Alya and Nino about the kwamis, there was safety in no one knowing of their existence. Should someone attempt to steal her and Chat's Miraculous, they may overlook the kwami. Although, Plagg came out in plain sight, everyone could see him, he must have been in the video. Did the people know what he was, his significance? She could only hope that they did not figure it out.

Alya shifted in her sleep and pressed closer to Marinette. She found herself smiling at the warmth her friends offered. But there was light in the room, which meant that they needed to get up, to get ready for school. She slowly managed to pry herself from Alya and Nino's grips in order to rise and get ready for the day, they both groaned from the movement and loss of heat. With a stretch and a shift, Marinette effectively woke Alya and Nino up as she pulled the blankets up off the bed. More groaning occurred but they eventually got up.

As Marinette packed up for class, she grabbed Adrien's phone and put it deep in her backpack. She had gotten it last night with general ease, and more importantly no one saw her, she didn't need weird rumors floating about from these house visits.

She did not arrive with Alya and Nino to class when they left for school that morning, instead thinking it less suspicious to visit as Ladybug and address the class first, and then arrive as the ever-late Marinette just in the nick of time for class to start.

From the roof, Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around the ledge and slowly lowered herself down the wall until she hung before the window to her class. Peering in she saw most everyone was there, anyone who wasn't could get her information from the rest of the class. She brought her hand forward and tapped on the glass, many of the students jumped at seeing her but Nino had quickly gotten up from his seat to open the window. She slipped into the class with ease, her yo-yo retracting back to her hand.

The students looked at Ladybug eagerly, Chloé only glanced at her from the side of her eyes, as if giving all her attention to Ladybug was a chore. She supposed it was better than Chloé hanging off her neck for pictures together.

"You're Cha-Adrien's," Shit which should she call him in front of the class? It didn't matter, keep going, "Class correct?"

"Did you go see him?" One student asked.

"I did-"

"How is he?" The class jumped forward in question before she could explain.

"He's well. He's not in pain, he's talking fine, he's been sleeping a lot for the most part with the medication they're giving him, but it doesn't seem like there's anything all too wrong. He's safe," She said the last part with her "reassuring Ladybug" voice. Alya and Nino shared a look that she barely caught, they knew that she thought otherwise.

"Can you take us to him?" Chloé suddenly pleaded.

"What?" Ladybug wasn't expecting that.

"Can you take us to see him while he's in the hospital? You're the only one that can see him, surely you can bring one of us along with you," Chloé begged as she got up from her seat, her eyes were filled with concern and sadness when Ladybug looked at her, "Of course I understand if you can only bring his closest friends."

Ladybug glanced at Nino. He looked uncomfortable, and she realized that he wanted to ask her the same thing last night, but refrained from doing so. The class frowned at Chloé's obnoxious implication that they should not get to see him but looked eagerly for Ladybug's answer.

She shook her head and frowned.

"I'm sorry, I can't bring you to him," She answered not really wanting to explain that she technically wasn't allowed to visit him from here on. The class deflated at her answer and Chloé scowled from her spot in front of Ladybug.

"But!" Ladybug said, bringing the class' attention back and stopping Chloé before she could say anything, "I'm going to bring him his phone today, so you can start talking to him, he's eager to talk to all of you."

There was an excited chorus of shared looks from classmates about being able to talk to Adrien himself.

"And, I can bring him small gifts. From all of you of course," She said, the class was getting excited but Chloé remained unimpressed, "If you all make some cards or get some gifts for Adrien, I can bring them to him. Nothing too big of course, I can only carry so much, but I'm sure Adrien will appreciate anything you make him, to show that you care about him."

The class was excited by this prospect, being able to give gifts to Adrien with their wishes for him to get well. Chloé's frown deepened and she slunk back to her seat. Ladybug knew there was no way to console her as she wanted to see Adrien, but was appreciative of her not attempting to breakout a fight.

"I'll come by tomorrow morning to for whatever you bring for Adrien," She finalized.

"But tomorrow is a Saturday," one student mentioned.

Ladybug faltered at the realization. Tomorrow was Saturday, so, today was Friday. Had it really almost been a week since the event? How had that-

Nino tapped her on the shoulder bringing her back to the class. She barely jumped.

"Yes, Monday morning then. I'll come by," She shook her head trying not to sound like she had briefly spaced out just then, "See to it that everyone in the class gets the message."

She smiled at the class and launched her yo-yo out the window to swing away. Cheerful "Good bye's" and "thank you's" followed her as she left.

Ladybug swung and landed by a recluse part of the school on the opposite side of her class and released her transformation. Tikki zipped out before her and smiled at Marinette.

"You're doing really good Marinette," She commented, Plagg peeked out of her purse and gave a quiet agreement.

She looked a little shocked by the statement. It didn't feel like there was much to her running around, she was just doing what needed to be done.

"Thank you," She gave a small smile to the kwami.

Tikki joined Plagg in Marinette's purse as she headed around to the front of the school to get to class in time. Only two reporters remained by the entrance, both blissfully unaware of Ladybug's actions that occurred so close to them. Marinette easily sped past them and to her class before the bell. When she entered, there was quite a commotion between the students as they discussed what they all should bring or make for Adrien, Marinette held in a smile and feigned confusion at the whole situation. Alya turned to Marinette as she sat down.

"Did you hear Marinette? Ladybug came by to see us," Alya said holding up her phone to show off a picture she caught of Ladybug addressing the class.

Marinette confusion turned from false to real as she got a closer look at Alya's phone, she hadn't even seen Alya take the picture.

"How did- When did you?"

"I can be sneaky when I want to be," Alya chuckled before casually repeating Ladybug's words to Marinette so the class knew that she "got the message".

Afterschool Alya and Nino gave Marinette wishes of good luck for her visit to Adrien, hopeful that she would actually be able to see him.

Marinette transformed in an alleyway on her way home. She placed Plagg, Adrien's phone, and charger in the blank cloth bag, tied it around her hip, and dropped her book bag off in her room before heading to the hospital.

She had no plan for getting around Gabriel, simply hoping that her luck would be by her side and that he would be gone for the time being. Ladybug landed before the side door and knocked on it sharply. There was a moment of waiting in silence that made Ladybug anxious, but the door flung open by the front desk clerk. They smiled, probably expecting her, which was good. The last thing Ladybug needed was for the hospital staff to be against her.

"We're glad to see you're back," The clerk leading her to Adrien's room commented, "We heard about your visit to Adrien's classmates on the Ladyblog, it drove the reporters nuts that they didn't catch you but it drive some of them away from the hospital entrance."

Ladybug simply nodded as she was passed over to a nurse, recalling how the number of reporters outside of the school jumped in number after Alya's post about her visit. Alya didn't disclose many of the details as to why Ladybug was at their class, and none of the students in their class actually acknowledged the reporters. So much of the public and other media sources didn't know that Ladybug was going to the school again, or that she would be bringing Adrien gifts from the class. Better to keep the situation from getting out of control as fans would attempt to send their own gifts to Adrien through Ladybug.

"What about Gabriel?" Ladybug asked, voicing her real concern over this visit.

"Luck is your special ability, is it not?" The nurse who had come by and was now leading her to Adrien's room lightly laughed, "He happen to step out for an unknown reason not too long ago, Adrien isn't even sure why. We're not certain when he'll return, but we'll try to keep him out of the room if he does return too soon."

Ladybug thanked the nurse as they approached Adrien's room. She felt jittery as the nurse peeked in the room and she remembered that she had left after telling Adrien who she was. She wondered if he was going to act differently towards her, after thinking it over he realized that there was no reason for him to be glad that Marinette was Ladybug. The nurse offered the door and Ladybug entered with a quiet "thank you", letting it close behind her.

Adrien lay in his bed beaming at her, a book pushed to the side of his bed.

"Hello," She greeted quietly, walking over to him and pulling over a chair to sit next to him again.

"Hiii!" He drawled, still beaming at her, was he alright?

"I-uh brought your phone," She said pulling out the aforementioned object and letting Plagg casually float out of the bag and over to Adrien. He rubbed up against Adrien's cheek in greeting before settling on his shoulder.

"Oh, thank you so much!" Adrien cheered taking it from her hands and turning it on.

He was briefly distracted by his phone slowly coming back to life before he looked at Ladybug.

And he really looked at her, straight into her eyes with his face full of concentration.

"Is something wrong?" Ladybug asked, feeling odd as he looked at her so hard.

"You know, I can see it now," He said with a lopsided grin, she looked at him in question, "The similarities between you and Marinette."

"Please," Plagg scoffed, "You couldn't see the similarities even with them standing right in front of you. And they did, many-a-time."

"Oh come on Plagg," Adrien began to retort, but Plagg just rolled his eyes.

"You are probably one of the most oblivious wielders I have ever had," Plagg snorted, it was Adrien's turn to roll his eyes with a huff.

"Whatever the case, the point I was getting at was, I like that Marinette is Ladybug," He said moving his attention from Plagg back to Ladybug.

She clenched her fists and her body tenses, feeling incredibly shy but not looking away from Adrien.

"Honestly, learning that you've been Ladybug this entire time, makes you all the more incredible," Ladybug wasn't expecting the compliment and had to make a physical effort not to let her mouth gape, "I mean, you're such a talented person with the things you make, and your nice to everyone you meet and the fact that you juggled being class president with school and your personal projects and even Ladybug for so long is really amazing."

Ladybug's face heated up and she thought she might smack Adrien just to make him stop talking, stop saying such ridiculous things. She didn't catch Plagg's gagging expressions as she kept her eyes locked on Adrien's.

"Can I kiss you?" Adrien seemingly asked out of the blue.

"What?" Ladybug jumped.

"Well- um," He looked nervous for a moment at her reaction before bringing himself back together, "You-no. I like both Marinette and Ladybug. I think you're an amazing person all around, and… I'd like to kiss you."

"O-oh," Was all that she could manage.

"We-uh, you don't have to though," Seeing Adrien become flustered was something that Ladybug never imagined she would witness right before her, "If-if you don't want to, of course."

She shook her head to focus, now was not the time to freeze up.

"No, I-" She took a breath and let a small smile play on her lips, "I would like to kiss you. And I like both Adrien and Chat as well. In a way, your contrasts in being Adrien and Chat Noir complement each other, it makes you more complete."

Adrien was once again beaming at her.

"Really?" He asked with a sparkle in his eyes, he was quite adorable when he wanted to be.

"Really," She murmured slipping her hand into his, he gave her a squeeze.

She partially stood up as she leaned forward to reach him. She held his cheek and closed her eyes as they brought their lips together. The kiss was warm and light, nothing like the passion of fireworks like so many would describe first kisses, but more like a familiar feeling of caring that was almost fluttery. She felt nice, and she honestly wanted to kiss him again as they gently pulled apart.

The only reason she didn't was a very quick flash of a feeling that there should have been someone else with them. She didn't know who, and the feeling was gone as soon as it was there. She didn't dwell on it, instead opening her eyes to focus on Adrien before her, he was smiling and that was good.

"Uggh, this is always the worst part," Plagg said with a groan.

Adrien and Ladybug focused back on their surroundings and pulled away slowly, looking over to Plagg.

"What part?" Adrien asked.

"The part where you two start being all lovey-dovey," Plagg rolled his eyes as if it was obvious, "Tikki may think its adorable, but there's only so many times you can see something before it get exhausting, and obnoxious."

Ladybug found herself laughing at Plagg's statement.

"I don't think I'll be that bad," She commented.

"That's what they all say."

Ladybug continued to laugh and Adrien joined her. It was still a light laugh, not quite full, but better than yesterday's. They calmed down and Ladybug spoke, effectively changing the subject.

"I went to see our class as Ladybug this morning," She said.

"You did?" He perked up at this.

"Yes, everyone's really worried about you since they can't go and visit you themselves," Adrien frowned, "So I went and told them how you were, and I asked that they bring something for you while you're here in the hospital and I could deliver it to them. It'll most likely be a bunch of get well soon cards and a few small gifts."

Adrien looked honestly touched, and let his smile come back.

"Thank you so much, you didn't need to do that."

"I did, for you, and for our classmates. Everyone's been worried about you. In fact you should probably send them some messages," She said gesturing to his sleeping phone, "They'll want to hear from you."

Adrien nodded happily. Ladybug stood up, happy to know that her first little task was completed and not wanting to push her luck with Adrien's father once again.

"I better get going, I'll see you Monday."

Adrien said his good byes with Ladybug and then with Plagg, who flew back into the bag when they were done. She left looking around to see if Gabriel was somehow prowling around, but there was no one. Closing the door behind her, Ladybug informed the front desk clerk that she would be there again that Monday at the same time to deliver gifts from his class. They assured her that they would try to have Gabriel out of the room for her visit. Satisfied with the answer she left the hospital and headed to Nino's home.

Alya voiced her disappointment that Marinette didn't come over by entering through Nino's window as Ladybug. Marinette immediately retorted that is would be suspicious to Nino's family if Marinette suddenly appeared in his room without having come through the front door. Nino agreed with both so he couldn't be accused of taking sides.

Alya and Nino asked Marinette how her visit with Adrien had been. She only got one word out, when Nino's phone began ringing. It was the ringtone for a video chat.

It was Adrien, calling Nino. Nino brought his phone over so the four of them could talk. It was tense for a moment until Marinette explained that she had told Alya and Nino about her identity as well as Adrien. He did not hide the whine in his voice at hearing that.

They talked amongst each other about how things had been for each of them. It was wonderful watching how Nino lit up at seeing Adrien and getting to talk to him. They talked the most while Alya and Marinette would occasionally add their own little comments and quips here and there. Amazingly enough, Gabriel didn't show up at any point. Marinette and Adrien were concerned but Nino was just glad to be able to talk to Adrien without dealing with Adrien's father.

Eventually, after talking for a while about hospitals, schools, and everyday life, they had to stop as Adrien couldn't hide the big yawn he let out. They bid their goodbyes and cut the video chat.

Marinette spent the weekend with her parents. They voiced their happiness at being able to see her for more than just a meal and made comment that she seemed happier as well.

For the most part she was happier, and eager to see Adrien again. He didn't message her frequently, probably still sleeping more than anything, but when he did he made sure to talk to her as only Marinette. They only talked about light topics, what they were doing and other everyday things, Marinette was grateful for that. Adrien's messages sometimes wouldn't make sense, and were often filled with spelling errors, which admittedly was rather amusing to read, but he never called her. That was probably attributed to his father's presence in the room, they wouldn't want his Gabriel to hear their conversations, especially should something slip. It didn't matter though, she was just glad to be hearing from him.

Catching up on homework and helping out in the bakery was how she passed the time. She kept herself distracted however she could. Distracted from the media. Distracted from Papillon's unnerving silence. Distracted from her thoughts. It was getting easier to do so.

The weekend passed with surprising ease. There were still nightmares, but they woke her up in silence instead of panics and were gone as soon as she caught the light. Her only indication that she was even still having them was the clench of her heart when she woke up and the weird flashes she would see shortly after their happening. The worst thing was waking up without Alya or Nino, or even Adrien ridiculously enough, it was lonely without them next to her.

Marinette hadn't seen Alya or Nino all weekend and she was honestly eager to see them again in class. Whether or not they were going to sleep over at Nino's or someone else's place again was up for debate though.

First, Ladybug needed to see the class.

She was wary as she swung up to the school, reporters might be on the lookout for her. With luck, she slid down the school wall to the window of her class without being seen by any outsiders. The students let her in and happily gave her the cards they had for Adrien. A few small plush cats saying "get well soon" made Ladybug laugh internally. Nothing was too big and easily fit into the plastic bag she had brought wrapped around her wrist.

Alya gave two letters, "From Marinette," She said with a wink. Ladybug was worriedly curious as to what was inside the letter, it had one of her flower designs on the front in red ink, probably from the stamp she had made for Alya a few months before.

Most everyone had handed their gifts to Ladybug when Chloé entered the room. Ladybug had, amazingly enough, forgotten about her, but Chloé was sure to make her presence known as she entered.

The students awkwardly made way for Chloé as she approached Ladybug in a straight step with a pot of flowers in many different colors. She put the flowers down onto the desk next to Ladybug and the bag of gifts with a harsh thud. Chloé looked down at the flowers and didn't say anything for a second.

"I know you said not to bring anything too big," She began quietly, "But chrysanthemums are his favorite." Her voice had been hard but the fact that Chloé wouldn't meet her eyes seemed to make her words warble. Nobody argued as Chloé slipped her hands off the pot and walked to her seat.

Ladybug didn't know what to say. She technically could bring the flowers to Adrien, the pot wasn't too big and it was the only one, but something in her was still afraid of how Chloé would react if she said anything. The way she entered was a bit frightening to Ladybug.

The last of the students slowly put their own gifts in the bag before going back to their seats.

"Thank you everyone, I'm sure Adrien will love all of these," She said sliding the handles of the bag up her arm and awkwardly hugging the pot of flowers to her body without damaging them. The students voiced their own "Thank yous" as she swung away.

With her arms partially full, Ladybug moved as fast as she could to drop the gifts off in her room before rushing back in the direction of the school. Again she released her transformation by the side of the school and ran into her first class of the day. She was late, she knew that would happen, but her teacher was a bit more sympathetic to her as she plopped a small stack of her extended-time homework onto their desk along with Nino and Chloé's piles.

Getting to the hospital was a bit more awkward than originally anticipated. Through a series of plastic bags, Ladybug had managed to get the flower pot on her back along with the other gifts. Unfortunately this proved to throw off her balance just enough for her to nearly scrape more than a few buildings and almost crash into the side door of the hospital. When she managed to stabilized herself, she pulled off the "backpack" of gifts and inspected the contents, the letters were barely crinkled and only one flower looked like it got a little hurt in the journey, but nothing too bad.

The door swung open before she could close the bag and knock, the front desk clerk greeted her.

"Oh good, you're here, we managed to distract Gabriel for the time being but we can't be sure how long it will last," They blurted right away, ushering her in and leading the way to Adrien's room.

"Thank you very much. I'll make sure to be quick" She followed closely behind.

Adrien looked to be dosing off when Ladybug entered the room with gifts in tow. He perked up immediately at seeing her and made sure to straighten himself up.

"I come bearing gifts," Ladybug happily announced.

Plagg quietly floated over to Adrien as Ladybug set the bags down on his bed and opened them to pull out Chloé's flowers.

"Chrysanthemums!" He noted gleefully.

"From Chloé," She said, putting them on a shelf next to his bed.

He pulled the bag over to him to rummage around and pulled out the plush "get well soon" cats with a laugh.

"These are adorable!" Adrien cheered, showing the cats to an unimpressed Plagg.

"There are cards as well," Ladybug commented as Adrien set the cats down on the bed, "From just about everyone in class."

Adrien pulled out the stack of cards and shuffled through them, mentally noting who each of the cards was from. He pursed his lips and turned to Ladybug, "There's seems to be something wrong."

She pinched her eyebrows in question and looked over the cards, "What's wrong?"

"I can't seem to find Marinette's card," He smiled warmly as he said that, but there was a mischievous glint in his eyes.

She frowned, recalling the card Alya had given her. She opened it before she came to the hospital, the front of the card had only the flower stamp but the inside was full of a ridiculous, over-dramatic love confession that was embarrassing as hell. Needless to say, she left the letter at home buried under her mattress, never to see the light of day. Alya would be getting an earful from her later about her prank.

"You rich boys, so greedy. Isn't it enough that she comes to visit you," She jokingly commented with a shrug.

"It's simply not enough!" Adrien said with his own mirth, his attitude changed to be a bit slyer, "Though, there is something she can do to make up for it."

She eyed him suspiciously, "And what is that?"

"I think another kiss would be sufficient enough," He commented off to the side, as if not sure he could ask for one again.

Her eyebrows raised slightly as she had not considered that he would ask again, but she wasn't opposed to the idea, she smiled and gave a little shake of her head.

"I suppose I can manage one before I go," She rolled her eyes as she leaned down to him.

They kissed, and again, it was light and warm. It felt wonderful, this little connection with him. They pulled away shortly after and Ladybug caught Plagg rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue in the corner of her eye.

She left him with a lopsided grin on his face as he watched her go and turned to the pile of letters in his lap. This was going well.

Ladybug turned, took a few steps down the hall to her left, and looked up to see Gabriel Agreste standing at the end of that hallway. He was staring right at her, his face still and hiding any emotion he might be feeling aside from continual exhaustion, a nurse was right next to him, worriedly looking between the two. Ladybug felt her spine stiffen and her nerves steel themselves but she did not take a step forward.

Gabriel was the one to make the first move, his steps were agonizingly slow, but he poised himself as he walked straight for her. The nurse looked distressed about what to do as they skittered behind him, Ladybug looked at them and nodded for the nurse to leave the two of them alone. The nurse headed down a different hallway as Gabriel approached her.

He was a tall man, and towered over her easily, especially with how he held his back straight, but Ladybug made it a point to show that she could hold her own before him.

"I see you went against my demands to not see Adrien again," He said, his voice low and cool, lacking any inflection or emotion. It unnerved Ladybug.

"I did, you didn't bring him his phone and his friends and classmates are worried for him. I understand that the media can be bothersome and intrusive, so I've been acting as a communicator between Adrien and the people that care for him," She explained, trying to imitate Gabriel and use the same flat tone and straight forward explanation.

He narrowed his eyes at her words, "As much as I hate to say it, you make him happy," Ladybug perked up, that was different. She wasn't sure how to respond, Gabriel continued, "I do not want you near him, but it seems you will not go away."

"You can't keep him isolated from the rest of the world," She almost growled out.

Gabriel actually sighed at that and turned his head off to the side, his eyes were unfocused as he thought upon something else, "I'm well aware of that. But understand that having him attend public school and spend time with his friends," He took a breath and turned to glare down at Ladybug, "And having him running around, throwing his self into deadly situations playing superhero, are vastly different things. And I do not appreciate him engaging with the latter."

Ladybug frowned, but couldn't argue against it. She understood that any parent would not be thrilled but the prospect of their child being a superhero and putting themselves in danger, her parents certainly wouldn't appreciate to learn that she was Ladybug.

"I think it best that you hand over your and his miraculous to an adult," Gabriel stated holding out his hand.

Wait, what?

She looked up to him in question. Gabriel's face was blank as he continued to hold out his arm.

"What?" She simply asked when he did not continue.

"I believe you and Adrien were a danger to yourselves when you were playing as Ladybug and Chat Noir. This need to stop and you need to hand over your miraculous to an adult, give them to me," He elaborated, pushing his hand slightly forward.

"D-do you realize what the miraculous are?" She asked, absolutely astonished by his request, "They're not just toys to be handed over to any person willy-nilly, they're ancient magical items that are given to people for a reason."

Gabriel narrowed his eyes, displeased by her answer and overall resistance, "Which is precisely the reason why they should not be in the hands of a child," He stated taking a step forward.

Ladybug, in turn, took a step back.

"I can't give you our Miraculous, they are not yours to have," She clenched her fists and tried to find a way to slip past him.

Like clockwork though, Gabriel seemed to snap. His body shot forward, he grabbed her by the arms, picked her up, and pinned her against the nearby wall.

"Listen girl," He hissed low enough for only her to hear, though she could barely hear him through the pulsing in her ears, "This is not a request, you have shown that you are not capable of holding the Miraculous. I will not have my son get hurt again you hear? Give me your miraculous and this whole fiasco will be over with."

Ladybug panicked, she squirmed to get free but her arms were pinned and Gabriel's grip was too tight. Eventually instinct kicked in and she brought her leg up to kick Gabriel in the gut, hard. The man doubled over from the pain of the blow and dropped Ladybug and he wrapped his arms around his middle. Without missing a beat, Ladybug scrambled up to her feet and went sprinting down the halls.

She did not stop until she burst out the door, panting heavily from the panic and the running for a moment and then pulling out her yo-yo to rush home. The front desk clerk came rushing out of the door and yelled in question about what happened but she couldn't hear them. She would not be able to return to the hospital after pulling a move like that on Gabriel.

A/N: Hooray afull length chapter! Don't look too much into flower language for the Chrysanthemums, I just think they're a pretty flower (and fun to say). Chapters may be coming a bit slower as finals are upon me, I've ran out of pre-written chapters, and I don't have as solid of an idea about what happen in this part of the story and need to figure and flesh that out.
