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.]

"And as far as I'm aware, the entertainment value of shifts is a free and open commodity in this market."
[Action]
You have a point there, my friend. I suppose we can call it even, then. At least for the time being.

"Have you been to the clinic yet? It is possible your cranial trauma was more severe than was immediately evident."
[Action]
I have. I originally went there to see if I could find Adele, actually.
[And did not stay to have his head examined, because no. The only doctor he trusts worth an inch here is Adele. Besides, it's just a black eye with a side effect of British.]
I'm sure that I am just fine, old chap.
[Action]
He's more inclined to blame upbringing, really.He's just concerned.]"If you insist..."
[Note that he doesn't sound terribly convinced.]
[Action]
That tone makes Gambit frown slightly and glance over at Obi-Wan.]
I promise, if I start seeing double, I'll seek out medical attention immediately.
[No he won't. Doctors are bad, mmkay. Unless they are Adele, he can't trust them.]
[Action]
[He sure isn't.]
"Do be careful, though. I'd rather you not get yourself hurt, you're the only one here with a stuffier accent than my own at the moment."
