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.]

['cause that would mean she's still talking with you and giving you grief.]
no subject
Well. It's a good thing that luck is my specialty, yes?
no subject
And not show it to him. Ever.]
Says the man two steps away from askin' directions ta Piccadilly.
[So clearly your luck's been holding up WELL.]
no subject
Fair enough. Let's just say that I'm very sure my luck will start improving from here, then.
no subject
You know. In case of lightning.]
no subject
I doubt that it's contagious, darling.
[And now he just sounds like some snobby fashion designer. Fantastic.]
no subject
Don't call me that.
no subject
And the quickness of the negative reaction both makes him curious and also makes him wonder if maybe he's not quite out of the dog house just yet. Whatever the case, he doesn't mean to upset her.]
I suppose I shall just have to make do without any nicknames until this wears off, then, hm?
[Joking around. Disarming.]
no subject
Somehow I think you'll survive.
no subject
Are you sure? I think it may be quite a trying time.
no subject
Should I preorder flowers for your funeral?
no subject
Lilies might be nice.

I was thinkin' belladonna.
[The words were out before she thought, before she could think to take it back.]
