[Option A]

[It's a bright and sunshiny day, and Gambit is not entirely amused that he has found himself back in Luceti. He's even less amused that he came back remembering everything that entails, although it has certainly come in handy, and at least he was not in a box this time around. The annoying thing is not knowing if anyone is even still here.

So, off he goes, shirtless and completely shameless, making his way through town and stopping just about anybody who looks familiar to ask the one very important question:]

So what'd I miss? Whole lotta nothin', non?

[Option B]

[It's been a couple of weeks, and Gambit has settled back in completely. The bad news about this is that it means he has officially gotten restless. And a restless Gambit is more or less a pain in everybody's behind, although, thankfully, he is taking it out on the Battle Dome instead of anything (or anyone) else.

Today, that means a full-scale swamp battle being carefully coded into the simulator, complete with radioactive giant alligators. Possibly with frickin' laser beams on their heads. You know, for the challenge. Of course.

The fact that he's taking his sweet time coding all of this in might be enough to attract suspicion all on its own...]

A whole lot of everything Rems, same as ever. All the fun happens after the young ones go to sleep, don't you know that?

[Low and offhand and muttered and not at all attentive to the fact that the voice speaking in Gambit's voice was at all real. Not for the first few seconds. It's something she did often, the muttering, especially since he left and she could still hear him bugging her and whining and muttering himself in the back of her head.

Then she stops. Goes still. And carefully turns to look at Gambit in full and see him, really and truly see him.]

...Remy?

[That reaction would probably be a whole lot funnier if this were anyone other than Adele staring at him like he's risen from the grave. As it is, there's a twinge of guilt, but he still offers her a smile. And spreads his hands in a silent "the one and only" gesture.]

Hey, sis. Take it you been holdin' down the fort.

No one else would.

[There's a moment more of that utterly still shock before she shakes her head and goes loose again- lips twisted in something fond, exasperated, and thoroughly amused.]

How long has it been? To you.

[He pauses to consider that a moment, then finally just gives a massive shrug.]

Ain't no time at all, back home. But I still remember everythin' from when I was here las' time. [Pained look.] I prob'ly ain't ever gonna figure that one out, so I ain't even gonna try.

I'll be the selfish one to say that I'm glad for it. I don't know if I'd be able to stand getting you to trust me all over again.

[Especially if she can't exactly remember how or what it was she'd done to earn it before or how to replicate it.

Still...he's here. He remembers, and it's more than enough to have her leaning in to wrap her arms around him.]

I might have missed you.

[There's another twinge of guilt, which is probably a dumb thing considering he really didn't have a say in whether or not he went home. But still, he wraps his arms around her as well.]

Désolé. Didn't mean to jus' disappear like that. I was hopin' you'd still be here when I got back.

Not your fault, Chou-chou. You can't help what this place does.

[If she held every disappearance and reappearance against the individuals doing said disappearing and reappearing she'd be irritated with everyone. And exhausted.]

[Hearing "not your fault" is something he will never be used to, he thinks. It's nice, though. He gives her a soft pat on the back, trying to be reassuring.]

Speakin' of... them Malnosso ever come out of their hidey-holes or are we all still waitin'?

Long enough to haul us out for another draft. On a flying fortress. It was fun.

[Lies, all of it. Except the part that was true.]
