Rogue has posed:
It's about ten to fifteen minutes after Rogue stormed off. The last words she heard from Logan still ringing in her head. Her own words swirling around them. The memories, the words, the last several days...and she returns. She throws a keychain at Logan with a single key on it. "Fuck you!" She yells. "The hell do you care that I'm broken. That was something we shared in certain ways... but this..." She sighs, then takes a breath to try and force those emoitons back down again. To center herself. "The hell you doing staying in bed. You want outta here so bad, come on. Get out."

Wolverine has posed:
Rogue gets hit by the key. It bruises a bit because rogue's throwing it! The toss is not light, even if the object is.

"I'm bringing it up, because yer hurtin'. More than usual. It's showin'. I know yer broken. I'm broken. But we're both more broken than usual," he gestures to himself. "Physically" and then he nods at her, "Something else. That's what I meant. We're both off, even by our standards," and he just watches her for a moment. "I'm stayin' in bed cause ya asked me to," his gaze narrows on her. "I'm stubborn, but happy wife, happy life, somethin' like that."

Rogue has posed:
"Except I'm not your wife. I'm not anything. Except maybe what they said is true. Maybe I am a monster." Rogue says, looking to Logan briefly before looking away. She sniffs, and then she clears her throat, once again shoving it all down. Locking it away in a bottle that's crammed into a box. "Look, if you want out of here...fine. It's not right of me to force you to stay here when you don't need to be. Here I mean. And I'll..." She bites her lower lip. "I'll find somewhere to hide. Away from the mansion and the cabin and...anywhere they can link me to anyone else." She'll do this alone, because otherwise people get hurt. "...I'll text you when I find a place..."

Wolverine has posed:
Logan growls and gathers up the wires then yanks them out with a wince. Then he just moves to her. The motions slow, wobbly but he gets there. Both arms wrap around her. "Ya ain't a monster. I've seen Monsters. Yer just a person." He breathes out and then looking down at her, "No hidin' from me, Anna," Logan looks at her. He understands that she will want to hide to keep people safe. Logan agrees with SOME of that logic. The rest he does not.

Reluctantly the arms slip away and he tries to slip back into bed. "They got in yer head. Monsters are people like them. They see someone. Judge em'. Cast em' out. Trash their place. That's the monsters," Logan will refrain from a jab at Sinister, too.

Rogue has posed:
He isn't getting away that easily. As soon as his arms are around her, as soon as she feels him close to her, she simply breaks. Even as he tries to slip away, she pulls him back, holds him close. She has no more words. The bottle just bursts out of the box and shatters into a million pieces that become a sobbing, grabbing, holding tight mess that is Rogue when she finally breaks down fully.

Wolverine has posed:
"Still here. Ya ain't anythin' bad darlin'." Logan says softly and he holds her close. He deals with Rogue pulling her back. It's just him going with it. A smile pulls at his lips as he rocks Rogue for a few moments.

Rogue has posed:
"I'm sorry. I dunno what's gotten into me..." Rogue finally says this and then buries her head into his shoulder again. "Don't leave me...please...I'm so sorry..." Okay she manages more words before holding onto him again and sobbing a bit more. Just an emotional roller coaster of a mess in the moment even though she doesn't mean to be.

Wolverine has posed:
"I ain't leavin' ya," Rocking her in his arms still. Their size differenzes showing a little bit. Then he holds her tighter to him. "That's what got ya worried? Afraid I was gonna leave ya?" he asks making sure they're on the same page after everything.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue shakes her head. "I mean...after our argument maybe a little...everything has me worried. Scared. Upset. Angry...there's so many emotions and I don't know where to put them all..." She admits this and then loosens her hold on him, finally. "...can we go upstairs?"

Wolverine has posed:
Logan looks at Rogue and his hospital bed. "We could, but yer gonna have to help me," Logan says knowing he's not in the best shape at the moment. Although he can try to help. His gaze stays on her for a moment.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue nods. "Good thing there's an elevator. I ain't gotta drag yer ass too far for too long this time." She says this, meaning it to be a joke. There's a kiss offered to him before she motions. "Come on, lets get you into a more comfortable bed..."

Wolverine has posed:
A nod comes from Logan as he points in the direction and leans against her. He knows that Rogue will be needed quite a bit. His gaze stays on her for a moment. "Sure you want to be with a beat up old man?" he asks with a slight smirk.

Rogue has posed:
"Only if you're sure that you wanna be with a broken woman." Rogue replies to him while leading him down to the elevator. Hitting the second floor since that's where their rooms are. She helps him along as much as he needs - or perhaps just wants - and will eventually get him to their room and into bed.

Wolverine has posed:
"Ya ain't a broken woman to me," Logan says firmly to her. His gaze on Rogue for a moment. Logan leans on her a little bit more than normal even if he's just in a hopsital gown. His gaze looking back to her from time to time. "Really want me 'round," Logan says with an amused smile as he's feeling pretty beat up still. But at least they're making it lcoser to his room.

Rogue has posed:
"I ain't repeating myself, Logan..." Rogue says with a grin. "I'm keepin' ya whether ya want me to or not." She says this. Getting to his room. Their room. Even though he's simply in a hospital gown - at least no one is really around to see him. She unlocks and opens the door to let them in, shutting and locking it behind her once on the other side. "Come on, limp along... lets get you to laying down..."

Wolverine has posed:
"Takin' over nursin' duties?" Logan grins. then he will limpa long away from her oging toward the bed. He fliops on it. A moment later, he starts to roll onto his back. His gaze stay son her for a few momentsa as he breathes out hard. Ocean blue eyes looking at her for a moment.

Rogue has posed:
"Someone has to with your broken ass..." Rogue offers with a smirk, watching as he flops into bed and rolls onto his back. She moves to put his favorite move on the television and makes sure he's all comfy and able to see the television but also drift to sleep if he needs to. "I love you, Logan." This before she leans in to offer him a kiss.
