Now that her wing was straightened out, she bunched her wings up tight against her body, sliding them together so that they were tightly furled against her back, something she hadn't been able to do while the one was bent.
The only reason it'd even been damaged was because of the surprise of rolling down the hill. Her wings had been partly unfurled as they'd run. Now that it was fixed, she could fold them up properly again.
Marinette turned to face him again, relieved that she could stop twisting her cuffed wrist behind her back, and gave him a shy little smile for helping her.
"Thank you."
It was back to shy Marinette, apparently. The more assertive Ladybug of moments before was suddenly gone again.
...And then, just like that, she was back.
"We need to keep moving," she said, getting to her feet and grabbing Adrien's hand -- the one cuffed to hers -- to tug him to his feet. "It's going to be dark soon. We need to put some distance between us and them and find someplace safe to hide for the night."
It was like a million other moments of Ladybug pulling him to his feet after he'd been knocked down. (Just like all the moments he'd done the same for her). The expression on her face was even the same.
