[ action, July 30th ]
But, well, he already went and jumped into his grave, might as well dig it a bit deeper.]
S'true.
[How in the hell is he going to dodge anything in a closet...]
[ action, July 30th ]
Like you even know what that means!
[And she will attempt to flip him right out that door. And no, she doesn't particularly care if they're still over the ocean. He'd live. He's got the devil's own luck.]
[ action, July 30th ]
[ action, July 30th ] uh, part 2 of 2 :D;;
It may take his brain a moment to catch up with him, but for now, he's a tangled pile of limbs and a few spare coats.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Oh, it just figures!
[And she reaches out to close the door as it swings back towards her, not even glancing down.
Screw this place. 8|]
[ action, July 30th ]
Okay, so maybe she isn't beyond letting him fall to his death.
His tone is pure sarcasm.]
Sorry to disappoint.
[ action, July 30th ]
[And then she opens the door and steps out of it.]
[ action, July 30th ]
[Yes, he got slingshot-ed back into the closet but if they're still high over the mountains, that luck might not hold a second time...!]
[ action, July 30th ]
Hand. Snagged.]
Let me go, Cajun! What are you thinkin'?
[ action, July 30th ]
What'm I t'inkin'?! [Are you seriously asking him this, Rogue?] I'm t'inkin' there's nothin' but air for half a mile down 'fore the mountains!
[ action, July 30th ]
[She attempts to yank her hand free.
No, that can't be right, because that means she threw him out over a bunch of mountains.]
[ action, July 30th ]
And he looks her right in the eye.]
It's a long way down, Rogue.
[ action, July 30th ]
For a moment, her pull against him goes slack. Even if he uses this chance to get a better grip on her, she won't fight him.
She just stares at him in something very much like horror.
Then:]
Let go.
[ action, July 30th ]
Slowly, he lets her go, watching cautiously for her next move.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Oh.]
Hell.
[Her voice is very quiet.
While she had no real problem hurting him if it came down to it, at least when they were enemies, but she hadn't wanted to kill him.
She braces her hands against the doorframe and feels sick.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Trying to reassure her with something like "at least it turned me right back around" won't help, but he still feels like he should do something. His voice is low when he speaks up.]
No way of tellin' where this t'ing is gonna end up.
[ action, July 30th ]
And then he went and tried to make her feel better after that, not even allowing her to decide whether or not she wanted to apologize.
Of course. Because it was just expected that she'd screw up.
Monster.
Silent, she reached out to close the door.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Rogue...
[ action, July 30th ]
[She turned away from the door and walked towards a corner of the closet, sinking down into it.]
Just don't.
[ action, July 30th ]
If you say so.
[ action, July 30th ]
She lifts her face, and it's easy to find his eyes. They're glowing in the darkness, after all. And she stares right at them, defiantly bare of her defenses, and doesn't look away.]
I was mad at you. I'm still mad at you. But I had no call ta be that careless, an' for that, I apologize.
[ action, July 30th ]
He's silent for a moment after that before he answers softly.]
Can't really blame you for still bein' mad.
[If she wants to talk about it, then it would probably be for the best, although he isn't too keen on the idea either. But if she'd rather leave it alone, he'll leave it at that.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Can't really blame her. Ha.
There was a long, long stretch of silence before she couldn't take it anymore.]
Do you have any idea what you did ta me? What kind of a game was this for ya, that you had to mess with me?
[She muttered a curse.
I trusted you.]
[ action, July 30th ]
Especially considering that it's... well... her. He knows how much her mutation weighs on her, and he definitely didn't help anything with this whole mess. With a shake of the head, he tries to catch her eye again. Being open and honest isn't something he's particularly good at, but he wants to make sure he has eye contact if he can. The truth tends to shine through.]
It wasn't a game, Rogue. I know it's not any kinda excuse, but it's the truth.
[Not that he really thinks she's going to believe him, which is a frustrating thought. But he walked himself right into it. He runs a hand through his hair absently.]
I shoulda told you.
[ action, July 30th ]
And then she'd seen him in love with someone else. Promised to someone else. Someone beautiful and competent. Someone she could never compete with, because she was someone he could touch.
And so what else could it be but a game?
Despite her best intentions, Rogue's gaze slid to his after his denial. There. He said it again. The truth.
You've got so many lies twisted up inside of you, Remy LeBeau, how would you even know? No wonder you're convincing.
But it was when he confessed that he should have told her that she scoffed, raising a hand in exasperation.]
Told me what? Ya think just lettin' me know you're engaged would make datin' you okay? Gawd.
[She might be a monster, but she's not that kind of monster.
She might be untouchable, but even she wanted something real.]
