Adrien washed and dressed himself as quickly as possible, then ran downstairs and slammed the door open in his excitement - which caused Val to leap in his seat and almost drop the book he was reading.

Val chuckled. "It's alright. Good morning to you. I assume you saw?".

Adrien smiled. "Of course I did".
