"Different how?" Gambit asked, taking another bite of the sausage.

"Nagging." Shade said. "If I was overly curious I would nag you about every detail whatever, but I´m not like that. I ask things when I feel like it and when I think I can cope with the possible answers. And bit by bit, my curiosity helps me to get new pieces of the puzzle." She grabbed for the mineral water.

"Yeah, but I can feel your curiosity sometimes even when ya don't say anythin'," Gambit reminded.

Shade smiled a little. "I know." she said. "and sometimes I wonder how much you get about what I think or feel in whatever situation. Was a strange thought during our first weeks. But I don´t bother with that any longer. You know what I feel so I don´t think about hiding it."

"I don't feel much," Gambit said, "just so you know. I ain't a telepath or whatever."

Shade nodded. "Yeah, but I know myself and I know that my emotions can get rather strong even if I don´t directly show them. As you´re a little empathic I guess these would be obvious at times." And it was how she intended it to be. Unconsciously she gave in to them when she suddenly felt affectionate. Shade didn´t know that she was doing this on purpose, but she was using her emotions on him, intending them as a guide. She didn´t know how much he could detect of them but she was fine with the thought that he detected what he could, feeling her emotions for him.

"At times, oui," Gambit nodded, finishing the sausage.

Shade took another bite. "You know..." she said. "sometimes I wish I had that ability." She felt little motivation to be able to read his thoughts, but at times a little hint about his general emotional state would be definitely a good thing.

"Tsk-tsk," Gambit said, "didn't your momma teach ya not t' eavesdrop on other people's minds?"

Shade smirked. "No." she said. "And I wasn´t talking about eavesdropping on minds or reading thoughts just getting a picture of what it feels like." About what you feel, she added in thought.

Shade finished her sausage. "I´m not just interested in the feeling in general." she said slightly thoughtful. "sometimes I just wonder what your emotions look like. Words can be superficial."

"Sometimes even I wonder what dey look like," Gambit said. "Don't think you're de only one feelin' left out on what Gambit thinks."

This answer said a lot - or nothing at all. He might hint at the fact that he was still trying to make up his mind, getting a clear image of what it was they were having in this relationship - or it was a way to dodge her question. Shade settled for the first option.
"Okay." she said. "However, if you ever feel like sharing anything, even if it´s thoughts you´re not sure about yourself, please do." She placed the stick aside and stretched her legs. It was all she could offer him.

"I know," Gambit said. Sharing was the hardest step. He knew if he were able to take that step, only then would he finally be able to clearly say that he was in love, that his affection towards her was deep enough for any strong feelings. So far he had only limited himself to answering her random and fairly rare questions about him, which didn't really qualify as sharing, in his opinion.
