10th Card Dealt [Action]

[Gambit is back from his mission... finally. And he's definitely looking worse for the wear. With one Severely Black Eye, it's probably at least fairly clear that he did something to irritate the Malnosso while he was gone, although the rest of the effects aren't immediately obvious. Until he opens his mouth, of course. And then he's painfully, stereotypically British.

Which is precisely why he's trying not to run his mouth like he usually does.

There are, however, a few points of importance. He may have slipped off with fairly little notice to the mission, but he does mean to let the people who really matter know that he's back. Which is all of four people, but he's still making the effort.

First it's a trip to the Item Shop. He's outside of his usual Not Until After 3 policy, but he's finding it hard to care. After that, it's off to the Battle Dome clinic... which is oddly bereft of Adele, so he decides he'll track down Obi-Wan (wherever he might be) instead, since that should be just as efficient. He does leave a Joker card on Adele's desk, though, before slipping back out. It's just as good a signal that he's alive and well as seeing her, he's sure. And last but not least, Lupin.

And then it's back home to collapse in bed and sleep. Or at least that was the plan until the fierce craving for tea finally overwhelms him and he ends up at Seventh Heaven instead.

Thanks, Malnosso.]

Bizarre.

[Mutter.] Mortals and their meaningless words.

[He shakes his head, turning his attention back to his book.]

With that shiner? I've seen better views of bad road.

[...of course.]

Tell you what then. We'll work out an evening sometime soon where we can play in the kitchen, and we'll make enough for you to have some too.

[Because, humor aside, Gambit looked like he was on the losing side of a brawl. Comfort food would be good for him too, especially if he found a way to jazz the dish up.

--after they made a normal batch for his friend.]

Ya make a lousy Brit.

[He was laughing before permission was granted.]

I'll let you know when we're at it then. How are evenings for you, and what sort of thing do you think would go with a soup made with--[an idle gesture at the bag] all this?

Is a vegetarian jambalaya going too far?

[Because Lupin, unfortunately, had no tea or crumpets to offer. He was more in the mood for a strong coffee and some beignets.]

...I trust that you'll find a way to make it so we're not eating tofu. That gets boring a little too quickly. [He knew. He learned it the hard way.

The jambalaya had been little more than a suggestion; he would leave the resident foodie to come up with a tasteful alternative.]


Actually, that brings up another idea. How do you feel about helping me cater a party I'm planning for my girl in November? We're still in the planning stages, but it's always good to know who all's in.

I need ta find a recorder an' get this down for posterity.

[Lupin would never wish the horror of tofu on Gambit...]

Great! I had a feeling that you'd help! [Because he did, truly. They were a few scoundrels who were surrounded by law-abiding citizens. It was only right that they stick together.] I'm planning it for the the fifth of November, so we have a few weeks to prepare.

[The date was also his birthday, and only a week short of his Lucetiversary. Time had flown by at an exhausting speed.]

It's also after Halloween, [and when he was eligible for getting his Penalty removed,] so we can avoid the mess that everyone says is coming. How bad is it, really?
