"Adrien. You know this guy?" Beth asked after wincing at the screams. She soon headed over to the lights and flicked them off.
Despite having fought during the Fire Outbreak in the city, something was telling her this one perhaps wasn't part of that group. He hadn't attempted to harm anyone.
Beth blinked. "Lights are off. You can come out," she offered. The weak ambient lighting drifting through the front glass was enough for her and Adrien to see but hopefully not harm her guest.

"Yeah, of course I do." He turns back to her, smiling warmly. "He's the first friend I made on this island, and a great guy, to boot." He pauses, then awkwardly scratches his cheek. "Didn't know how he felt about me, though..."

Slowly but surely, a shadow rose up along the wall, white eyes opening into a meek, timid expression. Disquietude kept his distance from the two humans, slightly curled inward, shuddering a little, ears folded back. "P-Please don't hurt me... I'm here on my own time, I swear..."

"As long as you aren't planning arson, I'm okay with you," Beth offered. "You haven't tried to hurt Adrien or myself and you seem well behaved so I don't mind the company."

Adrien smiles, clapping his hand on Disquietude's shoulder. "See? Nothing to be afraid of!" He bites his lip, then turns to Beth, pointing a finger at her hand. "Could I have my ring back, by the way?"
It's at this point that their attention is drawn to a lump squirming about under the belly section of the now-teenaged girl's shirt. "Hey, what's going on?"

"...Arson?" Disquietude bashfully repeated. "I-I wouldn't even know how to go about- GAH, WHAT'S THAT?!"
In a fit of panic, he slinked out of Adrien's grip and further away from the duo, reforming along the adjacent wall. Only then did Disquietude gently grab his shoulder and mentally acknowledge that Adrien had touched him...

Beth simply lifted her shirt and unceremoniously shook it. "When you give me my powers back, you get your ring back," Beth replied. "And also... you're floating..."

As Adrien looks down at himself, a certain black creature tumbles free of the girl's clothes, floating in the air as he tries to correct himself. He stares at her in confusion. "Hey... you aren't Adrien..."

Disquietude was dead silent. All he could do was cast a WTF stare at the humans and sprite creature in utter bafflement and slowly point a finger between Beth and Adrien.

Beth blinked. "Yeah... He's behind you. I'm guessing this is why you want your ring back, Adrien? Cute familiar by the way. Not to mention a classic," She offered. She took a breath. "Seems that Adrien and I switched both abilities and ages. Meaning I'll have to give you the rundown of what the heck I could do and you'll have to tell me what it is you do. But I do have one question." She grew a slightly sly smile. "How does it feel to have the powers of a Forgotten Deity?"

He can only stare blankly at her. "...what? What do you mean, forgotten deity?"
Plagg moves to rest on her head, snickering quietly as he watches his friend turn to the demon as if he had the answers.

Again, Disquietude remained silent, offering little more than a shrug. So much was happing all at once and he understood absolutely none of it. It almost made him regret his decision to come here. Almost.

Beth sighed. "A branch of demi-immortal that has gone through a trial that would span 3 universes and 4 worlds all to create a new world after losing everyone and everything in their life. Each of the deities had a role and an element," she offered. "IF you want more informations, we can sit in the back. I have some food back there if any of you three are hungry."

Adrien shrugs and offers a hand for Disquietude to take.
Plagg floats in front of her face, an eager grin on his own. "Will there be camembert?"

"Oh... I... I'm invited too?" Disquietude murmured shyly as Adrien offered his hand. The demon stared at it for a moment, confused by the gesture and well beyond nervous. Then, with a small, meek, quivering smile, Disquietude gently slipped two massive claws into Adrien's grip and glided behind him towards the back room.
Pure giddiness. That was really the best way to describe it.
