[No.

No, there's no way he's that smooth. To actually, intentionally get caught in rigging.

Gambit is not the sort of guy who'd make a fool of himself to make a girl smile.]

Uh-huh.

[Or is he?

It's not like she knows him that well.

So maybe...

No. She refuses to believe that.

But maybe...]

So.

[Doesn't mean she needs to admit to considering the question.]

Y' need some help gettin' down?

[meatthefuture]

Is that rope guy your friend?

[freeadvice]

[You will never know the truth. Ever.]

Mmmno -- [He says it so eloquently and bends up towards his ankle to touch the rope twisted around it. It take about a quarter of a second for it to glow under his touch and fray apart enough for him to fall. Fortunately, his reflexes are - in fact - good and he somehow puts his feet back underneath his body to land standing upright and in front of her with a grin that says 'Yes, that was all planned out.']

Happy Birthday.

[He practically purrs it and leans over her in his typical 'interested looming' fashion.]

[donthithimintheballs]

[Look who happened to be coming by. Logan, in flannel and jeans no less. Drink in hand and a unamused look as he watched the boy fray the rigging to get down. He had been coming over to help...]

Hope to hell you intend to fix that. Hate to tell one of the guys that you're messing with the ships gear.

[yeah, hi stranger he doesn't know or even remember from home. Also, Hi Luffy and Rogue.]

[Please ignore the large wild cat stalking around behind him also.]

[tactilelearner]

Logan.

[That smile is never a good thing. Never. It means someone is probably going to die.

Or that Rogue is having fun.

Which probably means someone is going to die.]

This moron is Gambit.

[And she'll just let her tone leave it up in the air what she's been saying about you, Remy. You don't need to know it's been good things.]

[meatthefuture]

[completely lost interest in everything else and pounces the wild cat into a wrestling match. Don't mind him. He'll be having fun just off to the left]

[freeadvice]

[Gambit shoots her a look that says Excuse you before looking towards Logan.

Who looks a lot different that what he remembers, and is much taller. Which is very weird for him. Especially when the last time he saw Logan - the guy was ready to skewer his head on his nice, shiny claws.]

Logan? [The surprise sounds genuine at least.]

Don' look a thing like 'em.

[He doesn't really know about the 'multiple versions of us' thing yet.]

[donthithimintheballs]

Watch the Cat, Luffy. [Logan said, pointing at the kid. Pryde will be over here with Luffy wrestling with the rubber kid. Please don't eat her]

[But Logan is looking at this guy who reacted to his name. A brow raised high at that.]

[Oh. He side glanced at Rogue, finger pointing at the boy.]

He's from your world? [Rogue, don't tell him this is Mr Lady Luck Card...]

[tactilelearner]

Unfortunately.

[In her defense, Logan, he's usually a lot more smooth.

She exaggerates a roll of her eyes before looking back at Gambit.]

All the people coulda got pulled here, an' it's you.

An' yeah. This is Logan. Bit different than the one you know, but. [There's a small smile there. Just a hint of one.] Still Logan.

So you watch yourself, Gambit.

[freeadvice]

Ain' you a lucky girl. [He smirks as he says it and focuses back to Logan, as if he was trying to decide how to act around the man.

Must. Resist. The urge. To be a smartass.]

[donthithimintheballs]

[Eyes partly narrowed, critically looking you over Gambit. Man, if he could remember the one he worked with for a blink, this would be a lot better, or stranger. Still.]

[At Rogues comment about being a bit different, Logan crossed his arms, one holding his cup still, the other resting on his upper arm, and he let the claws sink out.]

From what I'm hearin', other then height? Not much different. Keep that in mind, kid. [He... kind of smirked, lowering the claws to the side and taking another sip of his drink.]

Nice ta meet cha, Gambit. Can't say I heard of ya before.

[tactilelearner]

[Thank you, Logan. Your not!daughter owes you big time for not outing her about having talked about this idiot more than once.

And saying good things.

And having his card with her.

She owes you.]

One of Magneto's Acolytes, an' a thief besides.

Might wanna check him 'fore he goes. Make sure nothin's missin'.

[...She's a sweetheart, really.

Though, at least, her tone there sounds almost joking. Almost.]

[freeadvice]

[If he could glare at you without actually looking at you Rogue, he would do it. Why does he feel like a shotgun should be involved here? Instead Remy just sighs like he's being forced to deal with a very unruly child whose had sugar and smiles. Because this is his life.]

Y'know I can jus' give you de list of everythin' I've ever done and leave y'to it, chere. It'll save us all a lotta time.

[You are the actual worst, Rogue. He doesn't know why he likes you.]

[donthithimintheballs]

[What? Claws aren't a shot gun enough? Awww, he pu them away though. It's coo']

Oh, I'm pretty confident he wont walk off with nothing. He's met Ace, right? Or maybe I should bring Marco over for some introductions. I hear talons rip more then my claws.

[But he's staring at Gambit, a lot less amused now] Worked with Magneto, huh?

[SORRY. Magneto tried to have his Rogue killed to take over the humans and make them into mutants. He has like... no trust in that]

[tactilelearner]

Sugah, ain' none of us got th' time for that list.

[It's almost teasing. Almost.

The address isn't sweet, really. It's all sass. But it's still said.]

[freeadvice]

[Talons, wtf?]

For a while, yeah.

[Remy has no idea about what Magneto did in Logan's universe. If he did, he might be less cavalier about having worked for the guy. As it is, he just sounds like it was a mild inconvenience.]

Man was a drama queen but he paid well.
