Shade could feel him nod although she didn´t have her face turned towards him but her head leant against him. "Don´t you worry to much then either." she said. "I promise I won´t go anywhere when you´re away." Right now she didn´t feel too much enthusiasm to stroll around the city anyways.

"I'd be very angry if ya did," Gambit remarked.

Shade smiled inwardly. That sounded typically like Gambit being protective. She turned to look at him. She knew she would rather stare at some boring wallpaper for days than know he was worried about her. "Promised." she said, her tone unjoking to show she was serious about the matter. "I wouldn´t want you to worry." She knew only too well how distracting that could be. Whereever he planned of going.

The conversation seemed to begin to go in circles, and he decided to stop it. "Okay," he said. "I t'ink ya forgot 'bout de cake."

Shade straightened up a little, looking at her plate. She had just eaten about half of the cake and noticed her thoughts were still in enough chaos to not enable her for too much of a coherent conversation. "I know." she said, not really feeling hungry any more. How long since she had entered the café? She couldn´t tell. "still trying to sort my thoughts and calm myself." She grabbed for the fork again, but after another bite set it down. "I´m not hungry any more." she said.

"Ah bon," Gambit said. "We'll try out your powers soon as we leave dis place."

Shade nodded. "I´d have to get my stuff from the mansion later, too." she said. She knew it wasn´t too relevant a thing right now, but her brain seemed to cope more easily with rather irrelevant thoughts. It was simply somewhat overtaxed and she was sure Gambit would know that.

"Later as in whenever you´re okay with having me move in." Shade replied. She did not want to tread on his personal space, as she knew Gambit liked to have his own territory as much as they enjoyed time together. Being honest with herself, she would have it rather sooner than later because she felt somewhat shaken and would not feel safe completely before she was somewhere else, bei it the mansio or his place. But she left that for him to decide as it was his apartment after all.

"I'm okay right now," Gambit said. "I even brought your helmet."

Shade turned towards him again with a smile. "Good." she said, leaning her forehead against his chin. Then she remembered something. "I came into the city by car. But I don´t it´d be too save to have me driving now anyways." She was trying to figure out what to do about that. Fetch it later? Hardly. She would stay at his place. Let it stend in the underground parking she had left it. the parking fees might get rather high. Well... so what?

"We'll take care of it," Gambit assured her. Taking care of some car was the last thing on his mind right now, but he would, for the sake of Shade's peace of mind.

Shade nodded. She knew it was a completely irrelevant thing but it seemed she had started that topic for just one reason: because it was something normal to talk about. The problem of a car being parked somewhere when they would be going by bike fitted into her peaceful world far better than what had happened to her this afternoon. It was something to hold on to, just as she needed someone to hold on to right now. She was feeling a lot better already, but fear and exhaustion had build up an inner tension that was difficult to deal with. Had they been alone somewhere, Shade would have cried a little, just as she had done after the kidnapping. It would have helped to ease her anxiety and fear, but she did not want to tear up in public. No, she told herself, she was not that weak.
Instead, she just wordlessly slung her arm around Gambit´s neck again, cradling her face against his neck, inhaling his scent. "Can we go?" she asked in a low voice. "I don´t feel safe here." I want to go somewhere else, whereever, away from that mad city. To your place where I know I´m safe, she added in thought.

"Nonetheless, you are safe here," Gambit said, stroking her back in a soothing manner. "But we can go. Where d'ya wanna go?"

Shade knew that if Gambit said the café was a safe place, she could trust his judgement. Still, now that her worst fear had retreated she was starting to feel somewhat restless. She scolded herself for that inwardly and straightened up a little. "I don´t know." she said. "The mansion, your place... I´m still somewhat confused, guess I´m rambling weird things right now." Being glad that she was not alone in that, she added in thought.
