Cast of Characters: Wild Rose, Gambit




Wild Rose has posed:
     There's food for thought, and then there's the sort that really gives one a very bad case of emotional upset the more one ruminates upon its origins. This was decidedly a case of the latter, as Riana has turned the apartment rooftop into a temporary dojo of sorts. At the moment, she is focused with laser intensity on going through some katas, with kicks and punches quick and sharp enough to have her clothing make snapping sounds, and not even bothering with kiyaps.

     This was a woman on a mission. This was someone who was -pissed-. Approaching Cajuns, beware!

Gambit has posed:
And enter one Cajun. Remy comes up the fire escape as he can see the lights and sounds of his lover using her practice area from the street level. Watching her intensity he simply perches on the landing, waiting for her to finish, not wanting to interrupt her.

Wild Rose has posed:
     As Riana is caught mid-kata, she pauses, just turning her head slightly towards the sound of Remy coming up the fire escape. The sight of him is perhaps the one thing to cool her fury, the titian-haired martial artist straightening and taking several deep breaths. Dangerous fire snapping in the depths of sage green eyes mellows, her stony expression shifting to something akin to a smile.

     "Cher," she says, moving over to enfold him in a fierce embrace. Clearly, he was not the one in trouble. "We have a bit of a problem, I think."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau hugs her back gently and lets her tension bleed out into the embrace. He kisses her forehead gently and tilts his head slightly. "It's not Jack is it? Is 'e okay?" he asks with mild concern in his tone. racking his brain to try to figure what would be bothering her like this that she hadn't already called him.

Wild Rose has posed:
     "No, Jack's okay. My 'cooking' hasn't poisoned him yet. I think he's built up an immunity to it." Riana almost chuckles, tilting her face up to capture Remy's lips in a kiss that could melt snow. "Had a run in with someone who was looking for you. And from what they were describing, I want in on helping you this time."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau raises an eyebrow at that and nods slightly, stepping a little more towards the center of the roof in case she tries to deliver one of those knee weakening kisses again. He tilts his head slightly and smirks a bit, "Oh? Do tell chere." He says amused.

Wild Rose has posed:
     Riana isn't quite so keen on letting Remy escape, following him toward the center of the roof. "Seems Catwoman ran into a little trouble in the alleyway, not too far from that storefront for rent that might wind up as my dojo. Five-to-one odds." She almost smirks in kind, one corner of her mouth quirking upwards. "Sounds a little like how we met, cher. She needed an assist, but that wasn't all."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau chuckles a little bit and nods stroking her face a little bit and looking into her eyes and smirking just a bit. "So anot'er damsel in distress need mah 'elp, an' yah wanna 'elp too? And it not even mah birt'day." He says in a playful tone.

Wild Rose has posed:
     Riana just chuckles, tilting her face into that deft, gentle caress. "Less of a damsel in distress, and more about mutants being kidnapped. And Catwoman mentioned something about you putting a tracker on the culprit." Turning her head just enough, she kisses Remy's palm. "If someone's messing around with mutants, I'm not sitting on the sidelines."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau sighs and exhales slowly. Yeah that's kind of what he figured she was going to say. "Are yah sure chere?" he asks moving to take one of the chairs and pull her down onto his lap. "We might be de good guys in dis, but we likely not gonna be 'eroes."

Wild Rose has posed:
     "And you expect me to just sit around here and not back you up? Cher, what are we up against here? What's going on?" Riana settles down in Remy's lap, burrowing in against him to ward off the nip in the air. Even at the height of the day, there was still an icy chill that one could actually smell, and steely grey clouds that heralded an oncoming snowstorm. "If you're saying it could get messy, I'm counting on it. And if it's anti-mutant feelings, well, that's not exactly anything new."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau sighs a bit and just holds her for a minute. "Ah'm not completely sure what is goin' on ta be honest chere. Just dat dare are definately people dat need mah 'elp. " He smirks a little bit and adds "Our 'elp."

Wild Rose has posed:
     Riana echoes that smirk, tilting her face up just enough to lightly nip at his bottom lip. "Damn straight, our help. Mmmm, speaking of...." One hand dips into the front pocket of her hoodie, coming out again with a very plain, simple calling card, bearing only a name and a phone number. "The 'damsel in distress' left her calling card, and told me to get in touch with her if I ran into you. Figured it might be better if she heard from you, or both of us, instead."

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau takes the card and nods slightly, memorizing the number and then sliding it into his pocket. "well den, now dat dat is out of de way, it would appear dat yah seem ta 'ave me at yah mercy." He says with a playfully wicked grin.

Wild Rose has posed:
     Riana grins and nestles just a bit closer to Remy, tracing his lips with one fingertip. "Oh, do I now?" she purrs, chortling softly as she glances towards the doorway that leads back inside. "In that case, perhaps we'd best go step into my office?"
