(This is all according to google translate so accuracy probably isn't 100%)

Caerus-minor god of luck

Marinette cursed as she dropped her linen fabric. For the third time. "Caerus!" she cried. "Please send some of your luck my way."

"Caerus, huh? That's a name I haven't heard in a while."

Marinette jumped and spun around to see...no one. "E-excuse me? Who...who are you? Show yourself!"

"Hello, Πριγκίπισσα," said a deep voice behind her.

Marinette whirled around again to see a boy who stood a good head or two above her. He wore a black toga, black sandals, and a black mask. His hair was a golden mop on top of his head and it fell over his eyes which were like a cat's and in the brightest shade of green she could ever imagine. He, Marinette acknowledged, was very, very handsome. "Who...who are you?"

The cat-boy rose a hand to his chest in mock offense and Marinette could see that a black ring with a green paw print adorned his finger. "I'm offended Πριγκίπισσα. You don't recognize me? The Great Μαύρη Yάτα?"

Marinette's eyebrows creased together. "Μαύρη Yάτα?"

"Yes, Μαύρη Yάτα," the cat-boy said as he rolled his eyes. "The god of bad luck, destruction, and of cats. Pleased to finally meet you in person, Marinette."

"H-how do you know my name?"

Μαύρη Yάτα shrugged. "I may or may not have been watching you from time to time."

Marinette blushed in anger. At least, she hoped it was anger. She was absolutely not okay with this incredibly handsome cat-boy god person was keeping tabs on her out of every girl in Greece. Nope. Not okay with it at all. "You've been stalking me?"

"Stalking is a pretty strong word, isn't it?"

"How dare you! How dare you invade my privacy like that? God or no god, you had no right to do that."

"Relax, Πριγκίπισσα. Us gods and goddesses do it all the time. It's nothing new." Μαύρη Yάτα shrugged. In response, Marinette threw her bundle of linen at him. "Woah there Marinette," he said as he caught the bundle effortlessly, "don't you need this to make yourself a new chiton? Because last week you got a wine stain on your last one?"

"Yes. Oh, wow. I wonder why you know that." Marinette said, making sure that sarcasm poured off every word. "Oh, wait. You've been stalking me."

"So you're mad. Fair enough. But don't you want to know how you got that wine stain in the first place? From what I can remember, Your parents had the wine pitcher up on a secure shelf away from the edge."

"It was. I guess—" Marinette stopped and glared and the smirking god in front of her. "You," she seethed, "You did that. God of bad luck. God of destruction. You destroyed my favorite chiton, didn't you?"

"Guilty."

"In fact, you're the reason why my life has been so uncoordinated lately, aren't you." It wasn't a question.

Μαύρη Yάτα's smirk grew. "Yes, ΠριγκίπισσαI, it was all me. I tried to keep the inconveniences as small as I could but I can't really control my bad luck. It strikes when it wants to."

"Don't call me Πριγκίπισσα, Μαύρη Yάτα," Marinette said as she tried to ignore the effect his smirk had on her. "Please leave me alone. I would very much like to have a normal life."

"I'm afraid I can't leave you alone. You see, I seem to have developed a sense of fondness for you and leaving you alone is out of the equation."

Marinette felt her cheeks heat up and she looked away. "W-well, the feelings...the feelings aren't mutual."

Μαύρη Yάτα smiled. "It seems that I have to work extra hard to win your affections. Well, until we meet again, Πριγκίπισσα." Μαύρη Yάταbowed and held out the linen fabric. When she took it, he smiled again and slipped into the shadows and disappeared.

Marinette stood in stunned silence for a moment before glaring at the fabric in her hands. "I hate cats."
