Gambit turned around, getting his feet off the bed. He threw the condom away and put his jeans back on, then walked to the chair where he left his laptop. "I say we get some breakfast," he said, "den I need t' take care of a few t'ings. Plan your day however ya want, wit' me or without me."

"All right." Shade said, looking for her underwear. She found it eventually and put on her panties and bra. She didn´t really have any plans yet. The semester hat still not started so there were no obligations for her. However, while Gambit had been away, some little idea had formed in her head. Something that needed a little looking around in the city to see whether what she had in mind was possible to get, but she would try. So far, it was just an idea. "I think I´ll have a little hop through some shops lateron." she therefore said, not telling what she intended to look for. "And could I use your laptop to write an e-mail?" she asked. "I thought I´d write one to my mum and dad."

"Go ahead," Gambit said, leaving the laptop where it was and walking over to the bed to pick his shirt off the floor. Her mention of shops gave him an idea. "Shade, d'ya need a car?"

Shade snatched her jeans from the floor and started to put them on. She looked up on his words, slight confusion on her face. "A car?" she asked. "As in... car? Or taxi?" She could not relate his words to what she had said previously. Still, if Gambit had needed a taxi, he might have used that word.

"No, as in do you want t' have a car of your own?" Gambit said in a clearer way. He got his keys, his money, and several lock picks, threw them on the bed and went to the bathroom to at least wash his face before going.

The question was unexpected. Shade had never had a car of her own, even not during her college years. She put on her top, realising dimly she had not brought a fresh one as naturally she had not forseen that she would end up at a hotel with him.
She followed Gambit into the bathroom, leaning her back against the door frame. The thought was tempting. The only question behind it was: was he offering to buy her one or offering to steal one maybe with her assistance, like they had done with the boat back on Hudson. Anyways, the thought sounded nice and she smiled. "A dark blue one?" she asked. "where you can take off the roof?"

"Dat's a start," Gambit smirked, turning the water on and splashing some into his face. "Stolen or bought?" he asked in return.

Shade grinned a little at the question, giving the thought serious consideration. Before she had met Gambit the idea of stealing a car would have been something she wouldn´t even have given a second thought, now she did. She knew what some people would say about that sort of behaviour but swiped the sort away and chuckled.
"There´s still some money left on my account. But not enough for a decent car. And even though I think you could easily afford it, I´d feel bad for spending so much money on me."
Shadey, what are you even talking about, a very faint inner voice scolded her. This is nothing like bringing it back like you did with the boat. She didn´t listen to that voice, her curiosity stronger. "Stolen." she said after a short pause.

"Spendin' so much money on ya?" Gambit echoed. "Shade, ya don' even know what 'so much money' is, so..." he returned from the bathroom and leaned against the doorframe.

"Much money for my standards." Shade said, knowing she had not just mentioned this because she really thought so, but also as a kind of justification for herself. She didn´t know what made her curious, but her ideas about thieving had changed during the time with him. She would not consider shoplifting or a bank robbery, but stealing a car... She had no idea where her line was there. Fact was, something, maybe the same something that had had fun stealing that boat and picking that lock, was urging her now, to emphasize her previous choice. She looked at Gambit and raised her eyebrows, slightly amused at her own answer. "If I can come and pick the one to steal, then steal."

"Bon," Gambit said. Several independent plans were already forming in his head, plans where and how to get a car, how to disguise it, how to have it covered from possible investigation later...
He went to put his shoes on. "I've got some places t' visit, if ya want, we can meet in a few hours." In fact, he wouldn't mind if she tagged along with him, but she had already mentioned she needed some shopping done, so distracting her from that was not his idea of gallantry.

Shade nodded. Normally, she would have asked if he minded her coming along, especially after their previous emotional closeness. She felt completely content and happy in his company. Still, there was something she wanted to do, a little thought that had popped up in her mind. She noticed with an inward grin that she was rather early with an idea like this - it was still about two months until November and still: the idea was there and it prompted her to get into the city and see what she could do about it.
She needed to look around first though. Google would have helped, but she wouldn´t ask Gambit to use his laptop for this as she intended it as a surprise. As soon as they had parted, she would make her way back to the reception and ask for a phone book. An almost childlike cheerfullness started to spread somwhere in her mind, but she disguised it.
"Sounds fine with me." she said, grabbing for one of her sneakers. "We meet here again or somewhere in town or will you just ring me up when you´re done or the other way round?"

"Whoa," Gambit laughed. "Choose somethin'." He grabbed his stuff from the bed and once again put his sunglasses on. "Need a ride?"

Shade nodded. That meant she would get a phone book somewhere else. Or go to an internet café. Plotting like this, even if it was just a little thing, was fun. "Just drop me somewhere in Manhattan." she said snickering at Gambit´s reaction to her flood of ideas. "All right, what about whoever is done with stuff first rings up the other." she suggested.

"Sounds good t' Gambit," he nodded and opened the door for her. "Mademoiselle."
