Gabriel and Nathalie share a glance.

Nathalie: Well, he was certainly charismatic.

Gabriel: I don't know what he's up to, but he certainly seems confident in his associate and their plan.

Nathalie: Well, at least we still have the tablet.
With all the information from the spellbook, decoded.

Gabriel: We probably would've had the Miraculous, too.
Had it not been for the Guardian's trap, or your condition, for that matter.

Nathalie furls her brow, in annoyance.

Nathalie: Are you saying it's my fault the Guardian escaped?

Gabriel: Don't be ridiculous, I'm saying he knew what we were planning.
Your failing health was just a small factor.
Case in point: he alerted Ladybug and Cat Noir, and we failed, yet again. It's the same result, every single time!

Nathalie: Nevermind that, we need to focus on the real issue.
The Flash knows what we're up to, and it's only a matter of time before he comes here.

As if on cue, there's a ring at the doorbell.

(Bzzz!)

Gabriel: Let's hope for our sake, that isn't him, right now.

Gabriel checks the doorbell camera.

It shows Adrien holding an umbrella.

Gabriel: It's Adrien.

Nathalie: He's home already?

The gate opens and Adrien heads inside.

Adrien walks into the Atelier.

Gabriel: Adrien, you're home early. Is everything alright?

Adrien: The funeral went fine, but the car's battery died on the way back. I told my bodyguard I would take the bus home, while he waited at the repair shop.

Nathalie: Well, at least you made it home safely.
And that's all that matters.

Adrien: Well, I'm gonna go change, I'll be down for lunch soon.

Gabriel: Very well, and Adrien?

He turns back to Gabriel.

Adrien: Yes, father?

Gabriel: I wanted to apologize for our disagreement recently.
I shouldn't have been so callous regarding Marinette.
And for that, I'm truly sorry.

Adrien: Thank you, Father.

Adrien heads out of the room, and closes the door.
He heads up the stairs with a devious smirk on his face.
