5th Card Dealt [Action]

[Gambit is back from his mission today, and, much as he hates to admit it, he's exhausted. It's not often that he gets worn out, but this mission definitely managed it. But still, tired as he is, he's got a few things to attend to before he heads back to his apartment. He just means to knock them out as quickly as he can so that he can knock out as quickly as he can.

And so, early afternoon finds him slipping into the Item Shop, careful not to make a sound on the way in, so he can leave a card - a joker, to be specific - on the counter as a sign that he's gotten back safely. His way back out isn't quite as quiet as he'd been hoping, though, and just before the door shuts, the bell goes off. Merde. So much for that.

Once that's done, it's off to the grocery store. Food. Food is definitely needed before he sleeps. Too hungry not to eat.

After nearly ten minutes of staring blankly at spices - he suspects he may have fallen asleep on his feet - Gambit shakes his head and decides to just grab a can of soup and some instant cornbread. Nevermind cooking. Easy stuff. Quick.

He hates cooking this kind of stuff, but pride be damned, he's too tired.

Eventually, he finds his way through the town and back to CH1 to make aforementioned soup and lurch his way into his apartment to sleep, but it's very slow going. Feel free to run into him anywhere on his journey~]
fleurdesel: right, tired, sad (Okay)

Let me come by tomorrow to make sure you haven't given yourself a cold first Rems. I'll bring coffee and whatever baked goods I can con Helios into baking. [A soft smirk.] Perhaps even beignets?
fleurdesel: left, smile, smirk (Ignore my smugness)

Cajun or Parisian, no sane man or woman of french descent ever would. Though, to be honest? [Adele can't help a soft chuckle as she nibbles on her cornbread.] Mm. The best I had? From a Chef that grew up and worked in New Orleans for years before coming to Paris.
fleurdesel: left, sad, smile, serious (I just don't know)

My one regret is never taking the time to visit New Orleans proper. [Well, one regret of many. But it was the only one relevant to the conversation, so she lets it sit at that.

Before she knew it Adele had finished her wedge of cornbread as well, but as she is slighter and taking up various forms of exercise and training again, she feels she doesn't need another. She contents herself with the stew and her soda.]


You can keep the tin of cornbread Rems, don't worry about sending it, or the pot, back with me. We have plenty at the house.
fleurdesel: center, smile, smirk, flirty, sarcastic (I doubt it)

[Adele finishes her own serving quickly and quietly, stacks her dishes for rinsing in the kitchen, and stands to bundle herself up again.] Eat as much as you need Rems. And then? Sleep. I don't want to hear you wandering around the village today.

[As much as she wants to stay and make sure Remy sleeps, she knows full well her company would only make him feel like he should stay up, talk to her, and he needs his rest. She'll talk to him when he's no longer half dead from exhaustion.]
fleurdesel: right, hug (I'm still not ready)

Good. And don't vanish on me without saying something. [She finishes buttoning her coat and wraps Remy's scarf around her neck, tugging on her gloves as she walks over. One last check to make sure everything she is taking back to the house is packed up before she stops at Remy's side and gives him one quick squeeze, leaning up on tiptoe to kiss his cheek.]

I'm glad your safe.

[One last squeeze and she steps back, clearing her throat.] Rest, Rems. I will see you tomorrow.
fleurdesel: right, tired, sad (Okay)

I will try. After Stark's fight club? I could use a break. [She chuckles and pats his arm before heading out, comforted by Remy's somewhat promise.]
