010 - voice, action for the Spade crew

Lemme jus' say--

I know you're here.

Person I'm talkin' to? Knows that's for them. I ain' stupid, an' y' aren' foolin' me. When I figure out where y' are exactly?

[A pause. As if she's considering it. But. No. It needs to be said.]

I will kill you.

'Specially if you hurt any of them. You ain' seen half what I can do if I set my mind t' it.

An' you? Ain' gettin' mercy.

You really wanna impress me? You'll come face me.

[Rogue's crew can find her on the deck of the Moon, keeping a lookout. Except for that pronouncement to the journal, she seems pretty calm surrounded by the chaos of the others.]

[One word says it all, and her tone says everything she needs to about that one word.]

Mystique.

Mystique?

[Oh man that is not good. He thought she was dead, but then again it wouldn't be first on his list of 'impossible things that could never happen'. ]

...And you t'ink she gon' be headin' dat warnin'?

[Because he doesn't.]

Don' expect her to.

But now she knows she ain' foolin' me.

[It's 100% the fact that he is shaken up and starting to feel a little more...unhinged than he normally does that Remy says this. And he knows it's stupid, but it's just...said.]

So how do you know I ain' her?

She wouldn' be askin' me such a dumb question.

[It's easier just to be mean to him. Like this is somehow his fault. Or maybe it's because she's grasping at normalcy, which means them on opposite sides.]

That is no way to speak to your mother, Rogue.

[....Why do you do what you do?

Also, great 'normal' accent.]

...One o' these days, I'm gonna break every bone in your body, Gambit.

Mebbe. But dat means you gotta catch me first, chere.

[He's enjoying himself now.]

Lot easier on a ship than in a city, Cajun.

What, you plannin' on comin' over again?

[At first it's a joke, said with a scoff as if he knew she wouldn't come back here of her own free will but then...]

Would like to see y' again.

[He gets to thinking about how honestly alone he is right now - what with his pseudo-captain going off the deep end and abandoning ship - it's making it harder to distinguish between what his dreams are telling him and what he's starting to think he sees.]

Specially now.

[It'd be nice to have someone slap him upside the head right now.]

...'Member the first time we met?

[It probably sounds stupid. It seems like a major change of subject.

But it matters. A lot.]

The card y' put in my hand then. One y' charged.

What was it? I mean.

What card was it?

[Like she doesn't remember. Like it's not etched into her brain.]

King o' Hearts.

[He says it easily, but with the weight of the event - like he remembers every card he dishes out to every person with perfect detail.

He remembers that one at the very least. The Suicide King. Odds had been that she wouldn't have made it out of that alive - or at least conscious. Gambit hadn't cared then.]
