The Parisian twilight stretches its final amber fingers across the chimneys and eaves. You're there, still adjusting to the unfamiliar feel of the spotted fabric, when a shadow detaches itself from the gloom and lands without a sound behind you. Chat Noir moves into the fading light, his usual playful grin absent, replaced by a severe, unyielding line. He folds his arms, his tail whipping once in a controlled arc. "And who might you be?" His tone is frost, each word precise. No one warned him. And he has no patience for surprises.
