5th Card Dealt [Action]

[kineticcajun]

[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~]

[And he answers that by applying just enough of a charge to his coat so that he'll make a point. The fact that the fabric is heating up rapidly may be a hint to let go.]

Jus' kiddin', shorty. Take it easy. You got some food to keep an eye on here.

[Actually... he totally misses the head. He lights on fire with flames enough to put most things Gambit can probably juice up to utter shame, so he's slightly immune. It's really more the light glow which I am assuming is canon and not just some Evo thing?? idek which tips him off. that and Gambit keeping his cool, which still pisses him off, so he just shoves him back a bit (note the super strength, strong as five grown men here) lightly before turning back to his curry with a huff]

Don't need you tellin' me that...

[Gambit manages to catch himself before being thrown too far back, but he still stumbles a bit. Merde, the kid's got some power in him. He quirks an eyebrow as Rin turns back to the curry, shakes his head, and decides that it's something he'll just have to keep in mind next time he pushes this kid's buttons.]

'Course not. Professional an' all. [He goes back to poking at his soup, which finally has taken on an acceptable flavor now that the pepper has had time to warm through it. This'll have to do. Gambit picks up his soup pot.]

I'll jus' leave you to it, then.

[This is a awkward way to end the night. He nods, but as he sees Gambit seeming ready to finish up - no idea if he'll just go to his room or the opposite side of the room or even just stay there so...]

Yeah. ...Good night.
