What a beautiful day. The birds chirped and mingled in the green trees. The wind wisped around and blew her hair awry. Her long brown hair was up in a ponytail, bangs hanging in her face. Earlier that morning, she'd taken a nice, long shower and eaten breakfest. This made nature and herself seem so much more harmonious. She looked up at the light blue sky dotted with white clouds and smiled, slightly, looking back down. The luscious green lawn of the Mansion was perfect. Just like the Mansion, itself -- not a hair out of place.

As she looked at the many students passing her by, some holding hands, and some talking to buddies, she realized how much she wanted to talk to Gambit. She'd smiled and laughed uncontrollably after she got in her room the night before like a fangirl. And now wouldn't be much different if he were there. She just couldn't get over him.

Everything, she decided. I like everything about him. He's adorable. So sweet. And funny. It seemed they'd hit it off so quick. But, there was still a lot of time left for them to let their relationship mature. As she was thinking, she had started looking down at the ground and when she looked back up, she was surprised to see someone standing there. Gasping, she jumped back, but smiled. "Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there." She grinned at the familiar face.

"good morning mon cher. Seems I'm not the only one who can give people a surprise" Gambit said playfully as he smiled to her. Gambit then jumps off the wall he was standing on down next Kitty. His trench coat flickers in the wind behind him before thrusting back down to his sides. Before he raises to his feet he lifts her right hand gentley and softly kisses it. Once up he holds out his arm while smiling at Kitty. "Care to join moi for a walk?"

[Shadowcat]

As he kissed her hand, she blushed again. It was too cute and she just couldn't control blushing. He was such a charmer. As he stood to his feet and held out his arm, she hooked her arm with his and walked forward. "I'd love to, old man." She giggled. It was their own little inside joke. Something they could share that no one else would know... unless of course he got to them first! She grinned at the thought and looked up at him. "So what have you been up to, Remy?"

[Gambit]

Remy smiled when he seen her blush. He thought back to last night after he walked Kitty to her room. Upon returning to his own he didn't sleep a wink. How could he? The skeletons in his closet could be exposed at any moment. Was it wrong to mention it? Should he destroy this small shimmer of happiness for a guilt and lust for revenge? No. It wasn't fair to Kitty. Remy was smitten with her. He couldn't just vanish from her life over night. He couldn't just drop back to his old ways. Could he ever move on from the pain of his ex wife? It was an awkward time in his life but for the first time in a long time. He was happy, stress free and felt as if he could let his guard down even if it was momentarily. After all, The Professor knew he had only over done what he sought to be best and thats why he was here. To make up for those mistakes which had such dramatic consequences. Gambit turned and smiled at Kitty though. "now I don't want you thinking that this old man has gone all soft or anything but I want to give you a little gift" Gambit holds his hand up and in the click of his fingers a one of hearts card appears between the tips of his index and middle fingers. "this is the one of hearts for the first time I met you. You where a friendly face and bright light in a time of darkness for me and that I'm thankfully Mon Cher" as he turned the card to hand it to her, the back was a beautiful tribal sign which seemed to glow and shimmer in the natural sun light. "but in answer to your question, I have just been playing cards. I presume you have been on your best behavior now?"

[Shadowcat]

Kitty knew nothing of this man's past and even though she was urged to learn about it, she kept herself from asking. If he felt like sharing such personal information, he would have told her by now. Everything was so mysterious with him. But, it didn't bother her... much. She found it quite attractive. As he told her of the gift, she looked at him as if to say 'oh, you shouldn't have' and when he pulled out the card, she grinned widely and wrapped her arms around his neck, playfully. "Aww, thanks! It's really nice. I love it." At his next statement, she blushed. "Well... I'm glad I could do that for you." She was... needed. It felt good to feel needed. She examined the beautiful card and looked over at him. "Oh, of course, no trouble for me. Because I'm an angel." She chuckled.

[Gambit]

"come now mon cher, we all have a little devil inside us" that playfull and flirty smile was on his face again and that sparkle in his eyes. He was a little taken a back but embraced the (maul) hug. As they both began to continue walking around the garden, which was a breath taking sight. Rolling rolls, birds flying over head, fully grown and busy leaved trees. Giant chess, checkers and other board games where scattered through out teh garden. In the not to distant end of the garden the basket ball ground was a wash sill moving colors and the voices could just be heard all shouting team work. "So did you sleep well? Do you have much planned for today? Or can lil' ol' me keep you for today to engage in some fun and games?"

[Shadowcat]

OOC lmao, maulhug XD

"Maybe my demon likes to play hide and seek." She raised her eyebrows at him. Everyone had their demons, so she didn't feel that insecure about them, but something about the conversation chilled her. She couldn't grasp on what it was, though. "I guess my demon enjoys getting me in trouble. He's a mean lil' devil." She grinned and looked up at him. "Now, I know you must have some feisty demons in you... care to share?" She would push the subject some more if he didn't answer her how she wanted to be answered. But, only because she was intrigued by this man. She wanted to know his past, she wanted to know him.

As they walked past fields and fields of teenagers and children playing together and the couples walking hand in hand, Kitty smiled. Those lovebirds were cute and all, but they didn't measure up in Kitty's eyes. None of the boys were as fascinating as the one walking at her side. With a blush, she looked up at him, grinning. "I did sleep well, thank you for asking. You know, I was gonna watch my plants grow but I think being with you might be more fun." She giggled.

[Gambit]

OOC thought you might like that ;D

Gambit smiles and laughs for a little bit "why Mon Cher, I'm glad you think that I'm more fun than watching plants grow. Perhaps this will act as a reminder for future doubts" Gambit stops her in her track and gently plants a kiss just on the left hand side of her lips "you wanna know of my past...I..." Gambit paused for a second. All the memories of his past where flashing before his eyes. Everything he had done. Was is right? Was it wrong? How would a third party see it? He only ever had himself, since Bella Donna Boudreaux. But how can you explain that story? "...what would you like to know? he was willing to take a chance for her

[Shadowcat]

The kiss, to say the least, surprised her. Studying his face, she couldn't help but grin. He'd just kissed her... and she was sure it wasn't imagination. He had a way of keeping her entertained, definitely. The blushing was inevitable. "Well, you're quick to the punch." She giggled then listened to his next words. "Well... I don't know. Just tell me a bit about you. But only tell me what you want to tell me." This was his chance at leaving whatever he wanted out, she could sense it was a touchy subject and didn't want to intrude upon his life.

[Gambit]

Gambit could see how excited she was after the kiss. The fact that she was smiling ear to ear and her cheeks where a ruby red made him smile a smile he hasn't had the luxery of wearing in years. He pressed his index finger on her lips. She pauses for a moment "before I do, I just wanna see one thing mon cher" Remy leans in again this time to kiss her fully on the lips but Kitty gets so excited she accidently activates her power and Remy falls right through her onto the grass! Remy rolls over onto his back and puts his arms under his head and smiles while looking up her "thats alright, just means you can come down to me and I'll tell you about myself. Presuming you wanna know?"

[Shadowcat]

Covering her face with her hands, she giggled. How many times, exactly, had she done this to him? She was sure the disappearing act was probably getting old. But it wasn't like she could help it or anything. "I'm really sorry about that. I don't know why I keep doing it." After apologizing, she sat down beside him. "Well, for starters... what about family, I guess?" Laying down next to him, she plucked a piece of grass and toyed with it, then looked over at him.

[Gambit]

Gambit looked up into the sky. His past had almost just remained that. The past. An event that had occurred, no need to look at it, talk about even deal with it again. It was there, it was done. But Kitty had shown genuine interest in him. But would that interest remain once she knew the truth? Remy was nuts about her. He was willing to take a chance. After a final big sigh he begins "well Mon Cher, from what I remember my birth parents abandoned me. I was then found by a man who taught me to steal. I grew up fighting the guild of assassins representing the guild of thieves. That was the only family knew growing up... feeling shame and slightly embarrassed he looked away waiting to see if she would ask any more questions or even stay...

[Shadowcat]

Aha! So, he did have a secret. But, he seemed so ashamed of it. Why? She didn't understand. It was as if he'd murdered his family or something! As he turned his head, she grinned and put a hand on his cheek, turning his head back to face her's. "Why were you so afraid to tell me that?" She shook her head, smiling, as if to say 'I completely understand, man; it's no big deal! "Look. We all do things we're not proud of. But we get past it. You're a good man, Remy." She said, truthfully. Her feelings for him were growing; he could kill someone and she'd still think of him as a friend.

[Gambit]

he was gobsmacked. He wasn't expecting that! But the worst was yet to come "My bio-kinetic charging abilities manifested early in my teens Mon Cher, although I kept his powers secret from his family and friends, practicing my powers away from prying eyes. When I was 15, I accompanied my cousin Etienne Marceaux on his "Tithing", the ritual initiation test of the Thieves Guild. However, it went awry as they were assigned to steal from the powerful immortal mutant Candra, who quickly captured us. Candra recognized me somehow and sold us to the deformed, mutant gangster and child slave trader known as the Pig, who planned to sell them and others their age to HYDRA as boy soldiers. I used his powers to escape their holding pen, but the physically enhanced Pig quickly caught up to them. I discovered my signature attack when he picked up a playing card Etienne had dropped, charged it and threw it in the Pig's face, taking out his eye. Finally escaping his cliff top headquarters by diving into the sea, I was ultimately rescued by the Guild; Etienne drowned. In an attempt to reconcile the Thieves and Assassins Guilds, I married Bella Donna Boudreaux, granddaughter of the head Assassin, whom I met at age 8. Unfortunately, I was challenged by her brother Julien to a duel after the wedding. In the duel, I killed Julien, and he was exiled from the city, ending my relationship with Bella Donna"

[Shadowcat]

His past was very strange, but they all had strange things about them. So, yeah, he had killed a guy; but that would forever go down in her mind as 'self-defense.' The man next to her, that always called her Mon Cher and made her blush, could not kill a man in cold blood nor would he kill without reason. As he mentioned the woman, Bella Donna, Kitty felt a twinge of jealousy. But as he told her of their seperation, a spark of happiness appeared on her features. "Well, I'm glad you're finally out of all that mess. It must've been hectic living like that. That's why I like it here. We can come from any past whatsoever and they'll still accept us. I met a woman the other day who came from a whore house... Professor Xavier had saved her! I swear, that man keeps on impressing me. Anyways... you have quite the history. But, you should've known that you can trust me; I'm always here to listen and I won't judge."
