7th Card Dealt [Action/Voice]
[Just as the afternoon is winding down today, Gambit is waking up. In the middle of the woods. With the damned journal right next to him. Only as far as he can tell, it's the middle of the night, which is weird, because he can't hear any crickets or anything. But it's pitch dark out, in any case.
Which is also weird, because he should be able to see just fine in the dark, but that's another matter entirely.
He spends a while feeling around in the dark, trying to figure out a sense of direction (moss grows on the north side of trees, right?) before he ultimately figures, screw it, the enclosure is only so big, walking far enough in one direction will eventually lead him somewhere. The sooner he can find his way back to his apartment, the better. Everything hurts, up to and including his pride, but being stuck with nothing but a bunch of lunatic scientists for a couple weeks did little for his comfort levels in this place.
A couple hours and several bumps into trees later, he admits defeat. Whatever direction he's walking in (south...?), he's not getting anywhere except into more tree trunks. He's lost. And the fact that he can't see a damned thing is creeping up into a growing sense of panic. But now isn't the time to freak out. He can ride through this. He's been through worse.
But just this once, he's going to have to eat his big LeBeau Sense of Pride. Out comes the journal.]

Alright, alright. Y'all didn't move the village in the las' couple weeks, did you? Don't seem like it's where I left it.

Where did you disappear to? [Honestly, she really could've used his banter to get over Kurt being sent back home. Nothing better than to release your angry than yell at a maybe bad guy.]

voice;
[And because she had that convo with Yuri.] Did those things come and get you? [Kitty isn't down with the lingo just yet.]

[Beat.]
Jus' for the record, seems like mutant powers don't fry 'em half as good as you'd t'ink.

[Not being able to make something like that go boom = not cool.]

Well, welcome back.

Never thought I'd say this, petite, but s'good to be back.

Got it in one. All this quiet might actually be kinda nice for a li'l while.

[And he means that literally. The fun in it was kind of killed after Jubilee left.]

Nothin' planned. Really. Jus' t'inkin' out loud.

At leas' not 'til I've got a reason to.
voice;
[She's half joking.]
voice;
Guess I better watch my step.
[This is all a bluff. This being good thing has been growing on him.]

voice;
Just don't, like, go around telling everyone I said that, alright?
voice;
[Master of playing along.]
voice;
So, I guess I'll, like, talk to you later and stuff? [Cause now she feels all awkward.]
