Shade moved her arm slightly so it was on her forehead now, looking up at him. It wasn´t a matter to joke about, she very well knew, but on the other hand, ever since the accident - and she wasn´t even completely aware of this herself - her humour, their humour, had gained some sort of a macabre touch. She wouldn´t be able to explain it; it was little things such as their playful death threats now and then when teasing each other, or little remarks like the one she had just made. Maybe because even though she lacked the completeness of Gambit´s carpe diem attitude, Shade had still very clearly seen that life could be very short. It had put some things in a new perspective, not gravely so, but it manifested in things like that, maybe a way of getting along with the thought.
"Hm...I did." she said, using the moment when he leant down, to playfully grab him round the neck while at the same time slinging both her legs around his waist as if trying to claim him for herself. She would have added a mock growl because she was feeling slightly giddy under the influence of all the hormones, but decided it was too much of an effort right now that her limbs only slowly became useable again.

Gambit could tell by the feel of her body and her limbs around him that Shade had still not fully recovered from her earlier climax; he didn't classify the hold of her legs around him in any way possessive.
"Good," he said, using the other hand onto which he wasn't leaning to run over Shade's hip.

As it usually happened with Shade after her initial need was satisfied, exhaustion was slowly giving way to cozyness. It wasn´t too warm in the little room and they hadn´t bothered to get under a blanket, but Gambit´s body was emanating enough warmth to keep her from shivering.
"I might want to go for seconds though." she said with the slightly thoughtful scowl of someone who was considering whether or not she should have another serving of chocolate ice cream. She knew that she was not capable for more right now but was feeling a little playful and also knew how quickly tiredness could retreat.

"Oh really?" Gambit grinned. "Was Gambit absent for THIS long?" He wouldn't deny her this, of course, but he felt he could joke about it. So far, he had made no move to change his position, maybe leaned more onto his side, though.

"Uh huh." Shade said, making a fake serious face. It was true actually, he had been away for longer than usual this time - even though defining "usual" was kind of difficult with Gambit anyways. She wouldn´t hold that against him even though she didn´t love the idea of such a long absense. "Very, very long." she added, draining every word.

"Don't you dare," Gambit grinned. "Don't you dare make me feel guilty." He was glad Shade seemed to accept his way of life and his manner of not coordinating his schedule with her, and that was one of the reasons why he'd stuck around her for so long.

Unable to keep a straight face, Shade gave a small laugh at that. "Whoever said I was trying to make you feel guilty?" she chuckled. "This was nothing but a cheap trick to get lots of, lots of sex, man." she said, intonating the last word in a way he would when he called her ´woman´ in feigned aggravation.

"That was real cheap, woman," Gambit smirked and lay down onto his back. "Still, I b'lieve that was you tryin' to make me feel guilty so that I would HAVE to make it up t' ya by means of sex," he pointed out.

"What about saying "the end justifies the means"?" Shade asked, turning her head to the side to stick out her tongue at him. Of course it was kind of redundant to think one could achieve that by trying to make him feel guilty. a, because he probably wouldn´t feel guilty about staying away long and if he did he was unlikely to admit and b, because she definitely wouldn´t have to guilttrip him to talk him into sleeping with her, but verbal banters were fun and Shade wasn´t one to put those down.

"There's limit to that," Gambit said. "If, say, ya wanted t' get me to have sex wit' you by subjectin' me to drugs, hypnosis and telepathic control, that would be a big no-no," he explained.

"Which is why I said the means, not all means." Shade retorted, stretching like a lazy cat. "There was no talking about drugs and the like. Especially cause I think I so don´t need the aids of drugs or mind control to win you round." she added with fake cockiness in her voice while studying her fingernails with an untypically smug look on her face, just as if that was some major achievement.

"That's some self-confidence," Gambit shook his head, inwardly not pleased he'd been caught on a verbal tip of a sword in the usual word-fencing routine between him and Shade. "I could jus' make you try..."

Shade couldn´t hide a grin at that. Gambit had not contradicted or twisted what she had just said in the first place, therefore she decided she could feel accomplished.
Rolling onto her side which on the not too large bed meant she was rolling half on top of Gambit, her upper body over his chest. "Make me huh?" she asked, one eyebrow raising in amusement. "Now wouldn´t that kinda reverse roles? And make it look like you won me round by just having it look like it was the other way round by provoking me to try?" Not that she didn´t feel tempted.

"Yep," Gambit said. "Does it mean y'ain't gonna try?" placing one of his hands under his head, he glanced at her with a smirk.

"That´s a mean question." Shade said, narrowing his eyes at him in feigned aggravation before she shifted her position and crawled on top of him, sitting with one knee on each side of his stomach. There was no apparent reason for doing so other than enjoying to toy around a little so her body language and his words were seemingly not related since she was making no obvious attempts of responding to his implied provocation. The straddling was more something playful, even though that playful had several facets. "it´s like saying: come to the dark side, we have chocolate cookies." The comparison didn´t match exactly, but she kind of liked it.
