"Sho," Gambit said. He grabbed his pair of gloves, catching the glance of a guy passing by, who was clearly checking him out. Gambit gave him a small wink and returned his glance to Shade, tying the gloves together. The trip back to the locker room promised to be very nice. "See you outside, den?"

Shade gave the guy walking past them a brief glance before she returned her attention just in time to catch the wink. Did Gambit know him? She didn´t know and didn´t give it much thought either, merely wondering whether Gambit was reacting to some look that had come from the stranger earlier or not. She gave an inward shrug and not much thought. "Sure." she said, so used to the fact that they showered together most of the time that for a moment she forgot about the fact that places like these didn´t really have private showers. "See you outside" And with that she gave him another playful nudge and turned to walk towards the showers.

Gambit grinned and headed for the locker room - incidentally, following the guy that had passed him a moment ago.

Shade headed straight for the showers, finding the shower room for women deserted. She had expected nothing else - she had not seen a single woman in the boxing club up till now, but it fit her well. Meant she could shower without bothering other people´s presence. She undressed and stepped under the water, turning it to hot and taking a long moment to just close her eyes and let the water wash over her. She had tied her hair into a bun since she didn´t want to wash it as well. She had done so in the morning and felt little desire to walk around outside with half dried hair, since the air was rather cold.
She took a couple of minutes for her shower, relaxing her tensed muscles and enjoying the soothing feeling the warm water had on her body. She would sure have marks lateron she thought and chuckled to herself.
After the shower, she quickly got dressed and left the locker room area, taking the clothes she had rented back to the reception. Looking around, she could not see Gambit anywhere and left the club. He was not outside either and even though it was unlikely for him to be slower than her, she shrugged and leant against the house wall to wait.

Gambit reappeared from the club a few minutes later. He was in a very good mood, which could come as a surprise considering the hapless incident at the bar earlier but was completely understandable if a nice boxing match with Shade and a just as nice makeout episode with that guy in the men's locker room that followed were taken into account. He hadn't done either in a while, so that was refreshing.
His hair was still a bit damp from the shower but he didn't care. "Waited for long?" he asked Shade, noticing her standing by the wall.

Shade turned her head when Gambit showed up. "A few mins" she said with a wide grin, his obvously good mood affecting her own. "wow, you took longer than dwadly little me. Must mean changing clothes hurt terribly with all the bruises and took a while." she added in a playfully brazen tone as if to say ´which is so understandable considering the bad bad beating you got.´

"I thoroughly enjoyed my shower," Gambit replied - which wasn't even a lie, strictly speaking. "How're ya feelin'?"

The way he stressed the word ´thoroughly´ sounded a little weird to her for reasons she couldn´t tell. Shade cocked a brow at Gambit, but he didn´t seem eager to elaborate so that either meant he found it no interesting topic or there was simply nothing to elaborate about it. "Good." she said, still smiling. "I got some applause, a nice warm shower and my edgy mood is gone for the most part." Considering the circumstandes, and that meant that the positve effect of the current situation was dominant, she really couldn´t have felt any better.

"Good," Gambit nodded. He leaned in to give her a kiss. "Hungry? Tired?" (( aaand I'm off again  )) |

Shade leant in to return the kiss and slung a hand round his neck, suppressing a flinch since she had forgotten about the punches and her arm protested with a little pain. "Both." she said, stealing another kiss from his lips. "in just that order."

"Bon," Gambit said, "I know jus' what t' do, den."
To cut back on the time spent on the bike, he decided to go straight back to his apartment. They only stopped on their way there to get some Chinese take-away, there was little point in hanging out in the city any longer.
