The last time she had been here had been a few days before the attack on the mansion and when she had sat in her room, slightly bored, this afternoon, she had, from a whim, decided to go down to the Hellfire again. Entering the club, she found it not too crowded as it was still afternoon.

Remy was hoping this evening would bring more people than usual; he had a plan to walk about and ask a few questions and to start searching for Essex. For that reason, being at the bar this evening did not appeal to him, but rather brough more discomfort and uneasiness.
That's why, when he saw Shade walk in, he was felt relief at not having to spend the entire evening in gloom and "sinister thoughts" - now there was a chance at least the beginning of the working day could be good.
"Bon jour, chere," he greeted her, leaning on the counter with his elbows.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:23
She walked over to the counter and sat on a bar stool. "Hey" she said with a smile, ruffling her hair that had been slightly distorted by the wind outside. "i thought I’d come over to this place. Get away from the mansion a little."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 19:26
"Well, you got lucky, den," Remy said, "'cause I leave after tonight."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:27
She looked at him. "You leaving?" she asked. "Why’s that?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 19:31
"Got some stuff to do," Remy said cagily. "I'd rather work didn' interfere wit' it. But I hope I'll be back soon. Coke, as usual?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:33
She nodded, feeling some part of her didn’t like the part about the leaving for some reason. He sounded earnest about it all which, especially with what had happened at the institute some nights ago, could not be any good.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 19:38
Remy poured a glass of coke for her, adding some ice-cubes and mint leaves on top. He placed it in front of her.
"Dere ya go, chere."
He wondered, what card he should play next - the Gambit-knows-about-the-attack card or the where-the-heck-are-all-Xavier's-people? card.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:40
She took the glass. "Thank you" she said with a little smile before she drank a little of it. "Not too much going on here." she mentioned partly to herself.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 19:50
"Here at de club?" Remy specified.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:51
She nodded. "Yeah." she said, having noticed the absence of students. She had a good idea about why none of them was here. "That and generally."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 19:53
"I do believe it's a kind of calm before de storm," Remy remarked, an amused look in his eyes. "You don' look all dat energetic, either," he added.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 19:57
Just what she was thinking. The first outlash of that storm had been there, but she doubted it had been more than that. Things would get more serious soon.
"Things have been a little..." she looked for a fitting word without giving away too much. "hectic these days." she said referring both to the attack and hers and Rogue’s unpleasant encounter with Pietro and Wanda.
"That’s why I came here."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:01
"Wanna talk about it?" Remy sat down on his stool. She seemed as if she was about to burst with something, and he guessed it must have had something to do with the attack. He did not know what her role in it was, but surely it must have been a lot of stress anyway.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:04
"Inofficially yes, officially no." she said with half a smirk. She didn’t know whether she was allowed to give any information on the attack and therefore decided not to say anything on it as she was not sure he knew. This was less from distrust than more from the feeling that she felt the prof wouldn’t want people to carry out the news of this recent incident.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:15
"Do I look official to ya?" Remy wondered with a smile.
(( unexpected guests arrived I'll be on and off at random intervals ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:17
She gave him a smile. "Of course you do." she said half mockingly. "No honestly, I don’t think I should tell about these things."
((Aww.. ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:34
"About de attack an' such?" Remy winked.
(( the guests are off, I'm fully on ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:35
She blinked. "I see there’s no need for me to tell you then?" she said raising her eyebrows.
"The attack yeah."
(( yaaaay ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:40
"I jus' asked if you wanted to talk about it," Remy said. "You don't have to give me a press release, but if you want to talk jus' to get some pressure off yourself, I'm dere to listen."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:41
She sighed. "Well it was... odd. I didn’t get much of what was going on really. I was busy taking the kids to the tunnels and the attackers fortunately never made it inside, but... that night scared people over at the mansion and me as well to be honest."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:47
"I'd be surprized if it didn't," Remy nodded. Knowing what kinds of thugs usually worked as Sinister's Marauders, he could pretty well imagine how the attack looked and felt. "You know..." he said, carefully choosing his words, "I even feel flattered dat you chose Remy's place to get away from it all."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:50
She smiled again. "Why, you can." she said. "This is a good place to get away from things."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 20:54
"Now Gambit don't know what to think, chere!" Remy spread his arms in confusion. "Should I hope for you t' get more stress an' get here more often - or should I hope for you t' be happy 'bout your life but come here less?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 20:56
"More stress of that sort and I’ll not leave my bed anymore" she said with a chuckle. "But I could settle for a less stress and still getting here more often."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:02
For a split second, Remy wondered what kind of stress would it require to keep her from leaving his bed... he shut his eyes and blinked, forcing the image in his mind away.
"I'd settle for dat," he agreed. "I'd even get some recipes of non-alcoholic cocktails for you to stop drinkin' so much coke," he winked.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:11
She grinned. "You’d do that?" she asked. "Sounds like an idea because when I’ve had too much coke I tend to get insufferable hyper."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:16
"Of course," Remy shrugged with a wide smile, "I mean, I've got some already, but dey're like eight or ten of 'em, an' you'd get annoyed wit' de choice after a while. Though now I hafta feed ya wit' tons of coke jus' because I'm curious what an insufferably hyper Shade look like."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:18
She raised an eyebrow, but smirked. "Don’t." she said. "it’s pretty much like the Box of Pandora thing. You can see the same effect when you feed extasy to a squirrel i guess."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:31
Remy laughed. "Like in dat Over de Hedge movie," he said, still laughing. The picture was just too funny. "What other funny reactions do you get, chere? - ya know, jus' to be safe when Gambit mix somethin' into your drinks."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:33
"I never watched that movie, actually." Shade gave back grinning.
"What other reactions... I dunno. Never met any guy mischieveous enough to mix something unexpected into my drinks."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:35
"Really depends on your expectations," Remy explained. "In dis place, where people order humanly undrinkable things, you'd think my ideas about what's proper to put into drinks differ from yours heavily."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:37
"I guess." she said. "So... just take the tolerance of an average homo sapien 12 year old to get an idea then." she added.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:41
"Mais non, you fare better dan dat, cheri," Remy objected, "de last time, when you got drunk here, you didn' even fall off Remy's bike. Though I was afraid it could happen..." he grinned.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:44
She looked at him with played shock. "Oh come on, I wasn’t that drunk." she insisted. "I didn’t even sway."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:50
"I didn' mean you were losin' you balance," Remy said, "but you could have dared ridin' de bike without holdin' wit' your hands, screaming I-m-de-king-of-de-world," he teased.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:54
Shade blushed. "Oh." she said simply. "I did that?"
Now how embarassing was that?
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 21:56
"You didn't," Remy laughed. "But it was possible. An' I think ya should, too."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 21:58
She reached to punch his arm. "No, I think I shouldn’t. I watched that movie far too often anyways although I never got why Leonardo Di Caprio was supposed to be that great."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:00
"Damn, woman," Remy grinned, "dis is supposed to be about you being de king, not about di Caprio!"
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:01
She laughed. "The queen if at all." she said.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:04
"You get my meanin'," Remy nodded. Now she seemed very different from the tired girl who had walked into the club not so long ago, and he liked that change in her.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:06
"I guess I do." she said, drinking from her coke again.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:17
"Do you want anythin' to eat, by de way?" Remy asked, not even sure why the question like that would come to his head.
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:18
She thought about that and realised she hadn’t had lunch yet.
"Yeah, why not." she said. "Anything you could recommend?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:26
"Why does everybody ask me dis?" Gambit exclaimed. "I'd recommend most of items on de menu," he placed the booklet in front of Shade, "but I have no idea what you would like, honest, cheri. Oh, you know what... we could even go someplace to eat, I'm kinda hungry myself."
(( I can't believe he just did it. ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:29
She was slightly taken aback by his words. The menu of the Hellfire was rather good and she would surely have found something on it. Her thoughts started to race. Was he really asking her out... in an odd, blunt kind of way?
"Er.... sure." she said.
(( neither can I *raises eyebrow* ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:38
She looked like he'd just offered her to swim the Atlantic. Gambit wondered if his suggestion crossed the limits of proper in her mind.
"Don' look at me like dat, chere," Remy chuckled, nudging her on the shoulder before he grabbed his jacket, "Gambit'll behave. Scout's honor."
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:40
She got up to take her jacket as well.
"Oh of course you will." she said with a grin. "I was just ... wondering whether someone had poisened the food here or something."
She bit her tongue but couldn’t stop saying this.
"Just kidding" she added.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 18, 2007, 22:45
"Non," Remy smiled, "ya'll have your chance to taste it yet. But people Gambit have lunches wit' are of no business t' his staff, simple as dat."
(( a new thread in the City? ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 18, 2007, 22:49
"All right then." she said smiling. "Let’s go before the staff starts gossiping then."
((kay. you open one or I?))
