If I can...[It's muttered under his breath with a roll of his eyes. Still he steps back from the hydrant and gives her a sharp nod.]
On it. [He can see Ladybug's quick assessment of his presence and is relieved that she doesn't choose to protest it here and now. It means she isn't dumb enough to divide her focus with an enemy clear in sight and that's not something he can say for every other hero he's ever encountered unexpectedly. All it takes is one batarang aimed carefully and the necklace falls straight into his outstretched glove. He narrowly misses several streaks of sand in the process but he does get it.
Pendant in hand, his eyes swivel back to Ladybug to see how her progress is going with the sand.]
[While he's focused on getting the necklace, Ladybug uses her new weapon and counters Dreamcatcher's every sand attack with a generous spray of the heavy duty glue. Once she's done, Dreamcatcher's shouting in frustration as the sand sticks to her and everything around her instead of smoothly rushing toward passerby.
With a grin, Ladybug drops beside Damian again, yoyo in hand.]
I think we've got a few seconds before she just comes after us without the sand. Got the hourglass?
[In answer he tosses the hourglass her way, eyes watching her carefully. He's been watching her do battle long enough to know that this is the part where she has to do her weird magic glow-y thing. (Magic, honestly.)]
Thanks. [Ladybug catches the hourglass easily, then drops it to the ground and crushes it beneath one foot. A second later, a black butterfly escapes from the broken pendant, taking to the air. Ladybug wastes no time catching it within her yoyo and purifying it.
When she releases the butterfly again, it's a bright, clean white rather than the previous black. Ladybug watches it flutter away with a smile.] Bye bye, little butterfly. [The can of glue from her Lucky Charm gets tossed up next.] Miraculous Ladybug!
[Once the magic sweeps through the city, fixing the damage from the akuma's attack, Ladybug turns to Robin with a searching look.]
[If Damian had a normal childhood he would be mentally groaning at the idea of a magical yoyo. Thankfully (???) he did not in fact have anything remotely close to a normal childhood and Ladybug is saved from his scorn due to the fact that Damian has no idea what a yoyo is and only assumes her tool is some sort of modified weapon. He's snapped out of staring at it when she addresses him and he can't help a smug smile as he crosses his arms over his chest.]
Of course it was, I'm Robin. [Even knowing it will mean nothing to her, he can't help the pride in his tone.]
Robin... [Ladybug tests the name, a thoughtful look on her face. Her hand comes up to cup her cheek.
Robin is a type of bird...so a bird kwami? Though the outfit is a little surprising if that's the case. Especially when one considers how literal hers and Chat Noir's are.]
I didn't know there was another Miraculous user around... [Ladybug says slowly.] How long have you been here?

I'm not like you and that...the other one and I am not from anywhere near here. [Though his French is fairly well accented.]
I've only been in Paris for a month. [Before that, well, that's a long story.]
no subject
Then--why would you endanger yourself like that? And you're wearing a suit like Chat Noir and I do.
no subject
And excuse you, his suit is not like yours thank you very much.]
I am a vigilante and protecting people is what I do.
no subject
Not gonna argue with the protecting people part, but... you make it sound like you've been doing this for a while.
