[tactilelearner]

Um, hey y'all.

[Rogue sounds a lot calmer now. After all, she has her sight and vision back to normal, so she's able to make out where she was and how to get where she needs to be.

Which is on the Spade's ship.]

'M back. Not gonna be leavin' the ship. I don' like crowds, and Valentine's sorta stuff ain' my thing. But I don' mind a little company. An' maybe bring me some of the food they've got out there. Don' mind fair food, that's for sure.

But... Those of y'all who tried t' help me out? Thanks. Wasn' in any danger, turns out. Safe an' sound at Empieza. But... 'M back with the Spades now.

[seakingbait]

[Good, good. She was worried.]

Well... I wouldn't mind having someone to eat lunch with.

[tactilelearner]

Sounds great. I'll be on th' deck of the ship.

[seakingbait]

Any preferences? I'll pick up a bunch.

[tactilelearner]

No preferences. Anythin' y' think looks good.

[seakingbait]

A little of everything, got it.

[She giggles.]

See you in a bit?

[tactilelearner]

I'll be waitin'.

[seakingbait]

[And about twenty minutes later, Keimi arrives towing a bubble filled with assorted meat and tofu kebabs, a number of fried sweets, and what looks like a deep-fried onion flower.]

I hope you're hungry, Rogue-chin!

[tactilelearner]

Starvin'.

C'mon aboard an' we'll get t' tryin' everythin'.

[seakingbait]

[She smiles, making her way onto the deck.]

Nothing makes me feel better than yummy food.

[tactilelearner]

I feel better jus' bein' back t' normal.

[seakingbait]

It must have been so scary, not being able to see or hear anything.

[She shakes her head, not even being able to imagine it.]

Everything is okay now, though, right?

[tactilelearner]

As okay as it can be, I guess.

[It isn't something she's felt like talking about yet, not with most people, but... Keimi is here. There's food, and... that's as good a time as any to share.]

Logan's gone.

[seakingbait]

Rogue...

[She goes to take her hand, then quickly stops herself. Sudden physical contact would probably only stress her out further. Instead, she offers her hand to her.]

I'm so sorry.

[tactilelearner]

It's... [Rogue reaches out a gloved hand to loosely touch Keimi's.] It ain' that surprisin'.

Kinda what Logan does. Comes an' goes.

[Voice]

[skyfaring_swordsman]

Well, I'm not sure what you've been through, but it's good to know you came out of it alright.

[Voice]

[tactilelearner]

Thanks.

voice

[freeadvice]

Y'want me t'get ya something fried, chere?

voice

[tactilelearner]

God, yes. The more unhealthy it looks, the more I want.

voice

[freeadvice]

A girl after my own heart.

What's the worst piece of fried food you ever had?

voice

[tactilelearner]

Fried butter on a stick.

Holy God, that is awful.

[freeadvice]

[All he can do is laugh and groan because holy crap, that is bad.]

That's pretty nasty - but it ain' plastic.

[He wants you to be grossed out because it's Story Time.]

[tactilelearner]

Why in th' good Lord's name would you ever eat plastic?

That some sorta Cajun thing?

[She knows it's not. But. Teasing time.]

[freeadvice]

You tellin' me you ain' never hears of plastic gumbo?! S'a delicacy in de swamp!

[He thinks hes funny.]

Naw, m'brother thought it'd be amazin' iffin' he gave me some plastic fried up to look like somethin' normal. I would not recommend it.

[tactilelearner]

Sounds like somethin' my friends would've done if they didn' think I'd kick their ass.

[But she has to laugh as she says it, obviously in a better mood than the last time she'd spoken over the journal.]

[freeadvice]

[Remy laughs as well, at the idea of a little Rogue pummeling her bigger friends into the mud. It's precious.]

I was about ninety pounds soakin' wet. No way I coulda boxed Henri.

[Accidental name drop?]

[tactilelearner]

Henri an' Remy, huh? Cute.

[And the idea of him being scrawny. That is especially amusing.]

[freeadvice]

Exactly as troublesome as it sounds, chere.

[Seriously. Too many precocious stories for two children.]

[tactilelearner]

Yeah, well, I know you. Least the kinda trouble you get up to. Somethin' tells me that runs in the family.

[freeadvice]

[Remy isn't sure if he wants to bite out the response that he thinks in his mind - that they're not really his family, that they don't really think he's family.

But he doesn't.]

Trouble is business, ain' it?

[tactilelearner]

Guess it is.

[Sort of like being an X-Man. Some things just came with the territory.]
