Shade picked up the paper bag when Gambit opened and stepped in, noticing he wasn´t looking too happy. Something told her this didn´t just have to do with his previous fight with the door. She couldn´t tell what it was, but somehow sensed he was pondering over something that didn´t make him happy. "What happened?" she asked, deciding to just guess there was more wrong than just a few stubborn locks.

"Not much," Gambit said, taking the groceries out of her hands and heading for the kitchen, "jus' some club stuff." He decided to leave her out of this. At least for now.

Shade raised her eyebrows at him as Gambit walked towards the kitchen. Most likely that wasn´t the whole story, for had it really been just some random "stuff" he would not have looked like that. He knew how to hide his mood pretty well; hiding something minor would have been easy. She didn´t dig further. If he wanted to talk, he knew he always could.
She waited for him to place the bag down on the counter then walked closer and slung her arms around his waist. "Someone looks like he needs some cheer up snogging." she stated.

"More like some mindless sex on de kitchen counter," Gambit smiled, taking her face in his hand.

Shade chuckled. "With my stomach growling all the time? Well at least that suggestion made you smile." she said with a content grin.

Indeed, Gambit thought. First you dine a woman, then you bed her. Golden rule. How could he forget? Probably too much in love. He leaned to kiss her.

Shade answered the kiss, smiling into it. Gambit had seemed tense, something was clearly bothering him and that went beyond the understandable frustration, but she decided not to think about it now.

They made some quick brunch (it was mostly Shade who was actually making anything) and camped on the carpet in the living room, as always. Gambit prepared coffee, finding with some relief that it wasn't as demanding a task as he was afraid it would be.
"So, how does it feel, bein' my hands?" Gambit asked, looking at Shade with half a smile.

Shade took a sip of her coffee and reached for a piece of baguette from a tray they had placed on the carpet. She was lying on her stomach, knees bent backwards. "Fine so far." she said. She didn´t mind being ´his hands´ as Gambit called it. "and look what pretty hands you have" she added with a smile, wriggling the fingers of her right hand at him, holding the slice of baguette between her teeth while doing so.

"Dat be definitely a noteworthy virtue," Gambit smirked. "Never had prettier, I daresay."

Shade gave him a broad smile while chewing on her baguette. "Just make sure you treat them nicely, pat them now and then and they´ll do pretty much everything for you."

"Yeah." Shade said, giving her hand a sceptical look. "thus the ´pretty much´ There are some limits unfortunately." She finished her baguette and flipped over onto her back.

Gambit poured himself a second cup of coffee and leaned back against the wall. "I'll need t' leave pretty soon," he said. "Gotta pay a visit to Nawlins..."

Shade nodded. She might have expected that. She had no insight into the dealings of the guilds but with what he had told her about it, it was probably necessary he showed up there now and then; especially after an accident like that to show he was still in one piece, to calm down possible problems.
"Pretty soon?" she asked. "as in today, tomorrow?"
