The ease with which Gambit seemed to accept Edward once they were introduced was highly encouraging to the timid creature, and he found himself breaking into a shy smile. "A few days? I've been here for a few days..." Edward answered again, though he'd already said so. He knew that he was often misunderstood, and that things often stood to be rephrased.
The approach of another man was swiftly noticed by Edward; though he wasn't the best at noticing things, Jean's approach was impossible for even the most determined daydreamer to miss. Even to Edward, Jean looked like a wild man, with his hair left that long and scraggly. Indeed, Edward's attention turned entirely toward giving the newcomer a decent haircut. His "fingers" twitched at the thought as Gambit tried to make him feel welcome.
