Adrien started laughing; he had another idea, and wondered if he could pull it off. He stared intently at Valerion; when he threw the ball, Adrien drew his arc and thought of when the first paper ball was deflected off of his mentor's nose. A second Valerion appeared for an instant in front of Adrien, catching the paper ball on his long nose and yelling "Ow!" before disappearing. Adrien burst into laughter - an explosive sort of laughter that led him to tears; through the mist of his eyes, he saw that the real Valerion was now sitting on the floor, laughing, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I'm sorry!", Adrien gasped between fits of laughter, "I'm so sorry!". He cracked up once more.

"You're not sorry at all!", Valerion laughed.
