 Mon chéri,

Thank you for pullin' me out again after all these years. I mus' say, it sure took you long enough. Gotta be agreein' with you though, dere jus' ain't enough Gambits around these days. Double thank you for pullin' me out 'stead o' dat male version o' me you have up in here too. Always good t'be de winner. Specially if'n it makes him jealous. [ Smirk ]

Now, I realise you got plenty on your plate already, so I won't be buggin' you 'bout throwin' me into no game. Would be nice t'get out an' play with others, but you take what you can handle, mm?

Thanks again, mon amour. 
Reneé ~ ♥

P.S. If'n you could find me a Rogue t'play with though, I'd surely love you all th'more.

[She regards her for a moment, wryly amused.] I'm sure you've heard the maxim "be careful what you wish for".

[gamblinglady]

Where be de fun in dat, chere? S'always more fun t'be surprised if'n you ask me.

[abetterway]

[Her eyebrows arch, though she's still smiling.] Fun or fatal?

[gamblinglady]

[ She grins a familiar grin. ] Mos' times de two go hand in hand.

[abetterway]

[She just shakes her head, but the grin is infectious.] You've a very peculiar idea of fun.

[gamblinglady]

[ Well that's what she practices it for. ] So I've been told. But you know, you sure do remind me o' someone. De name Xavier mean anything t'you?

[abetterway]

...Yes, actually.

Jocelyn Xavier. Have we met? [A beat.] Well. Will we meet may be the better question.

[She knows how these multiversal meta shenanigans work.]

[gamblinglady]

Jocelyn, huh? Never would've pegged it.

Reneè LeBeau. I s'pose we will. A version o' us at least. Back where I'm from you're a little more male. Named Charles. [ She laughs, shaking her head. ] People call me Gambit. Mos' places I'm a li'l more male too from what I hear.

[abetterway]

[Her smile turns wry again.] Well, I did pretend for a while.

[She offers a hand.] It's a pleasure, Ms. LeBeau. It seems we're both in the minority.

[gamblinglady]

[ She takes the hand, shaking firmly. ] Well makes us plenty special, non?

[abetterway]

[Her smile deepens again.] That, I think, is precisely the right way to look at it.

[gamblinglady]

[ Gambit's return smile is almost lazily casual. ] On dat note, my mun would like me t'invite you an' yours t'this new place we're workin' on. Still barebones, an' plenty still t'be done. More information forthcomin' once he gets home, but he wanted t'get a headstart. He tends t'be the impatient sort.

[abetterway]

We appreciate the invitation. I think it's off to a wonderful start.
