Hearing that, Adrien laughed even louder. Then he blurted out: "It's just that your nose makes such a nice target!". He covered his mouth with his hands as soon as he realized what he had said; then he sat down on the floor in fits of side-splitting laughter.

"Adrien!", Valerion cackled. "Adrien, you're awful!".

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!", Adrien shouted, his face hidden behind his hands.

"It's a very good thing that I like my nose!", Valerion laughed, "Someone else would be already making a nose-shrinking potion, after what you said!".

Adrien keeled over in great laughter. "Oh -- oh, no...", he gasped.

Valerion took in a deep breath. "But, in all seriousness, that was brilliant", he said. "Congratulations. I suppose".
