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.

When I come by to visit, I'll bring you some cards. Not sure how good I can play for now, but it's somethin', non?

[She sighs.]
I would appreciate that Remy. Truly.

[Only one reason why he dislikes going to clinics.]
Want me to try an' sneak anythin' else in for you?
[Voice | Filtered 90%]
I cannot think of anything that would not be immediately thrown out save, perhaps, ice cream-or apple cider.
[Voice | Filtered 90%]
But I can swing some cider easy.

[She tries, and fails, to muffle a yawn.]
Call me when you and Ben are close to the clinic? I think the medication is making me drowsy again.

[She settles back against the pillows, tugs her sheet up, and mumbles.]
Stay safe.
