Kevin put his fists on his hips. "You went through my stuff?!" he said indignantly. "Can't a girl have privacy anymore?"

Shade gave a short, half amused snort. "Looks like you still need to get the fine tunings right," she said, finding some weird satisfaction in a little criticism. "I don´t look like that when I´m pouting."

Gambit smirked. "Chill, ma pouce," he jokingly poked Morph on the shoulder. "Ye're usually more composed."

Kevin removed 'her' hands from 'her' hips but crossed them on 'her' chest instead. "I'm out of practice," he said in his defense. "But would Manuel know such details?"

"Unlikely" Shade said with a shrug. "but the more you look like me and act like me, the more believable the whole package is I would guess. It´s like...writing a good story with some background. It´s not always mentioned but the fact it´s there gives it more depth." Silently, she was wondering whether she had ever known the meaning of ´pouce´

Gambit gave her an approving nod; he thought along the same lines. "Den ya two always got me as a practice dummy," he added. "If I buy it, anyone will."

"Alright," Kevin said. Morphing back into his usual self, he walked over to the table with the coffee thermos and helped himself to some. He was tired, more than usual - his entire body had been focusing on keeping the image intact, and without regular practice, it had put him through some strain. "I hope I've got time to practice? This isn't, like, tomorrow?"

"I don´t think so." Shade said, feeling some mild, odd relief to be the only Shade again. "but as soon as possible." She had actually been considering doing what Gambit had just said, the test dummie thing and she was planning on trying that. "We maybe should meet here again, there´s nobody around usually." She had no clear idea of what Morph meant with ´practising´ but guessed it involved studying her movements, tone of voice, that kind of thing.

"Yes, we should, then," Kevin agreed. "For now, I'd just call it a day, though. It's been a long day."

"Pas de problème," Gambit replied. "Give me a call when ya're ready, or else let's meet at de end of de week."

Shade had made experiences herself that had shown her how draining it could be to use her powers overly much. There had been the times when she had still only just gotten started to experiment with the limits of her powers and extending them to another person or object hat drained her after seconds. Then there had been times when she had had to do so for her own protection - or Gambit´s. The time when they had escaped from the apartment on his motorbike or when she had used her powers to escape the Sentinel. Such experience would make it easy for her what it had to mean for Morph to be out of practice and needing time as he had called it, but that knowledge was blurry memories which made it a bit more difficult for her to comprehend and a little more impatient about the fact that this could not be trained more and advanced right there and then. She didn´t comment on it though, figuring that as much as she guessed Gambit had control over the situation, avoiding Morph to do anything funny, they needed to rely on Morph and any kind of complaining would not be of any use. Therefore, she just nodded.

As soon as Kevin left, Gambit turned to Shade. "You okay?" he asked.

Again, Shade nodded. "Yeah." she said. "this was just a little weird." She could not sort in right now why Gambit would ask this, not aware that he might have perceived earlier confusions in her emotional pattern.

"I bet," Gambit smirked. "Let's pack an' go home - we still got stuff to do but not necessarily here."

There wasn´t much to pack up for her - she was still wearing regular clothes and they had not needed the costume, which she was still eager to try now that it was completely finished and painted.
Shade wondered whether Gambit could tell a difference in her and Morph´s emotional patterns. That was probably the way he could distinguish between the two of them once Kevin would have mastered the smaller changes and quirks of her speech patters and movements. It might be interesting to try and see whether he could tell a difference, she thought with an inward smirk. But some other time and she also decided that this was not a priority seeing what was at stake for her.
She grabbed her duffel bag and a bottle of water she had brought and they left the building.
