Remy didn't have a place to be that night. Not specifically. He had a lot on his mind and being cooped up in the school when there was a whole city to get lost in seemed to be counter productive. Some people may like feeling as though the school was their home, their safe haven and place they could relax and take a load off, but Gambit was tense while he was there. Shaw was there, and while he was not in bad standing, necessarily, with Sebastian currently, provided the upcoming job went off without a hitch, he was still wary of running into him. It was unpredictable, knowing whether or not he'd throw him under the bus. Shaw held all the cards. All of them. His brother's life and his standing with the friendships he'd built at the school hung in the balance.
But in addition to leaving the school for a breather and maybe a quick contract, Remy was trying to draw someone out of the shadows. Someone he knew wouldn't let a sleeping dog lie. And by lie, of course, it was more like avoiding answering any direct questions than outright dishonesty.
So Gambit wasn't attempting to make his movements a secret as he walked out one of the side exits of the school and onto the grounds, starting to follow the path that would take him out to the gates. He even whistled a tune, some low and eerie voodoo tune that seemed to accompany the cloak of shadows around the grounds. Remy's steps were trailed by the newly reconditioned duster coat and he kept his hands in the pockets, fingers on a deck of cards.
