"Welcome back", Adrien replied. He ran around him and helped him take off the bags, expecting them to be heavy - and he was once again thrown off balance by their surprising lightness. "Right, that makes sense", he commented under his breath as he recalibrated his motions.

Val chuckled softly in response. Once all the bags were on the landing, Adrien went to bring them inside; after carrying one in, he tried to lift the second only to find that this one wouldn't budge.

"What --?", Adrien gasped. He looked up at Val, puzzled - and saw him snickering. Adrien crumpled up his face in disgruntled amusement. "Come on!", he laughed.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist", Val giggled. He whipped his hand in the air and magicked up the viper staff, which he handed to Adrien. "Can you put the spell back?".

Adrien chuckled. "I'll try".
