Amanda Deveraux has posed:
It's been a long time since Amanda has been to this part of New York. She performed with the circus back then, and the memories elicit a small smile. But it was a trip to the Bayou that was the real reason for her visit, and a different memory.

The woman's back is towards the door, now, as she shoots pool. Just a single game to amuse herself, really. The long coat is draped over the back of a chair, leaving a nice view of the snug black trousers and the heeled boots as she bends to line up a shot.

Gambit has posed:
"Oh Ah'd remember dat smile anywhere..." Says the voice of a man from behind her and clearly can not see her face. Remy LeBeau stands with his shoulder agienst the wall. His own pool cue in his hands looking entirely amused. Assuming that Amanda turns around he moves over and offers her a hug... both affectionate...and patting her down for weapons. Letting her do the same. Not that Remy needs to carry weapons. "Of all de gin joints in all de world, what bring yah 'ere Amanda?" He asks pleasantly smiling.

Amanda Deveraux laughs at the familiar voice, snapping off a shot before she rises. Turning towards him, blue eyes bright, she returns the embrace. And the pat-down. He finds nothing, of course, but then again her coat is elsewhere. Only then does she kiss both of his cheeks and switch to fluent, rapid French. <It is wonderful to see you again, mon ami. And it has been too long.> With a certain fondness she reaches up to tousle his hair.

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins and returns the double cheek kiss, staying with the French and chuckling <My God chere, you haven't aged a day.> He says with a smirk, he walks to the bar and orders Amanda a glass of Champagne, and himself a beer, looking amused. <It's not Chatau Merciaze, but ... actually no but, it's just not.> He says with amusement. <So how have you been?>

Amanda Deveraux has posed:
Amanda Deveraux's gaze shifts from his eyes to his hair, which she continues to tousle a bit before he moves to the bar to order. Setting her cue on the table, the woman follows and scoops up her coat along the way. <Clean living and good moisturizer.> she replies casually. <And you are too kind.> Draping the coat over one arm, raises one foot to rest it upon the rail while the bartender opens a bottle. Her attention on the Cajun, that smile is bright as she replies. <I found myself in New York and thought I might follow up on a rumor.> Pause. <I'd heard you were living around here.>

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau looks entirely too amused by that <Rumor is true.> He says with a raise of his drink in her direction. <Been living mostly straight and more or less narrow. I keep my hand in when I can, but the New York Guildmaster is a dangerous man. Frankly I don't care to poke the bear unnessicarily.> He grins a bit and adds, "Though for you chere, I might be willing to pick up a stick and give a jab or two.."

Amanda Deveraux has posed:
Amanda Deveraux rests a hand on the bar until the champagne is put within reach, then she raises her glass. <Apparently so.> she replies glibly. Slender brows lift when he declares to be on the straight and narrow, but Amanda manages to keep a straight face. Blue eyes brighten and she smiles, switching to English again. "I've always admired your spirit, Remy." she offers. "And I think I might like being back in New York for a while."

Gambit has posed:
He gives her that wicked grin that he'd been practicing all those years ago, but has now more then mastered. <Well if that is the case, maybe Remy can show you arround. I'm actually a teacher now, but since classes have not quite started yet, i have nothing to do. I can put myself entirely at your disposal.> His tone entirely playful, Then he sighs. <Well mostly anyway, Remy went and got himself a girlfriend on top of going straight. We even got a dog together." He says chuckling waiting for the teasing.

Amanda Deveraux has posed:
Amanda Deveraux takes a slow sip of champagne, testing it before taking another. No, it's definitely below her standards but from her expression it seems at least... passable. <I thought that placing yourself 'entirely' at my disposal might be a bit of a stretch.> she replies. And her own expression turns playful. <A dog? My, but you ARE becoming domesticated.> she quips back. <You really should introduce us sometime, darling.>

Gambit has posed:
Remy LeBeau grins a bit, "Ah'd be 'appy to." He says with a bit of a grin. "Ah'll see about maybe us all gettin' toget'er foh dinner some time. .." He considers and adds, "Jus' don' wear any shoes dat yah be sad to loose... Jack, dat's de dog, 'as a bit of a problem." He then holds his phone out to her for her to punch in her number.

Amanda Deveraux has posed:
Amanda Deveraux looks at the phone and punches in her number, giving him an amused look on the subject of shoes. "I look forward to it, then. And I'll just follow your lead on however you want to introduce me..."
