Who: Shannon and Remy
What: Gambit eventually makes his way back to the museum.
Where: The museum
When: 1826 - Day 10
Rating: PG13 - Just in case
Status: Complete

Gambit had left the museum just an hour and a half ago, having backed off when Sam had shown up to watch over Shannon. But the Cajun had stared a while at the Post Office, before walking around to look at the carnage of the town, then he'd stood and stared at the felled clock tower for a while. Eventually, he'd left it and had headed back to the museum, for the items he'd been planning to get in the first place. Sam had, for all intents and purposes, chased him off that first time. So he had never got the chance to explore the museum. He was going to go looking for the Doctor's jacket, the Doctor's journal, and a few of those paintings. Definitely a few of those paintings. Then he was going to get the Hell out of this place.

However, when he approached the museum, he was surprised to find that Shannon was still there, and with Jack Harkness, no less! Jack, though, after an easy greeting, had left to do things that needed to be done, and Gambit was once again left babysitting the injured girl. The aftershocks were still shaking the ground every now and then, so going inside wasn't a wise idea on anyone's part, so he avoided the steps leading up to the museum and came back over to Shannon to stand in front of her, hands pushed down onto the pockets of his jacket. He'd wear that thing the rest of his life. Really.

"You still look tire', Chere. How your side feelin'?" His smile was easy, as it always was, and he tilted his head to the side, hair falling into his face.

"I heard about Edward," Shannon replied, furrowing her brow in confusion again. "But he said he was fine...I don't get it," she admitted sheepishly. Her eyes widened slightly when he went on to say that two guys had been crushed by the theater's ceiling. "Jesus..." she breathed. "Yeah, I know, but I'm better off than that," she pointed out, suddenly feeling all that much more lucky and thanking - unbelievable... - the powers that be for sparing she and Sam that sort of fate.

Shannon tensed and frowned when Gambit went on about how she shouldn't have to defend Sam. Yes, she did. He couldn't very well sit around with her when his brother and friend were missing and she didn't expect him to. She felt every need to defend his actions, especially when he'd helped her after the original earthquake hit. "I know he'll be back," she told herself more than Gambit...because she had to believe that he would, even when she'd abandoned him before without so much as a word. She'd deserve it, she felt, if he didn't come back, but that didn't mean she'd like it.

"I'm not goin' anywhere," she assured him. "Be careful!" she called after him when he disappeared into the building. While he was gone, another tremor of an aftershock hit and with a cry of pain, Shannon scrambled away from the building on all fours, dropping down onto the dead grass outside and covering her head with her hands.

Nothing hit her and when the tremor ended, she relaxed slightly, uncurling her body again and waiting a moment before opening her mouth to call out to Gambit to make sure he was all right. He appeared in the doorway coughing and waving away the dust as it settled before she could do so and relief washed over her. She'd have felt horrible if something had happened to him while he was in there getting her bag. Admittedly, though, when she saw it slung around his arm, she was happy to see it. Having the remaining inhalers at her side again would be a huge weight off her shoulders.

As he sat down, dropping the bag and a coat down beside her, Shannon sat back up again. "Is that the Doctor's?" she asked, thinking it looked a lot either like his or like Jack's. Without it on someone, she couldn't rightly tell. "And thank you," she said gratefully, already pawing through her bag.

Shannon pulled out her water bottle, surprised that it was still in tact rather than broken and having leaked all over her clothes, and set it down in the grass between the two of them. Next, she pulled out a granola bar, opened it, and snapped it in two, offering Gambit one of the halves. "Bon appétit," she joked.

"Oui, 'de Doct'r's. He'll wan' it back la'er." He knew he would. So the Cajun had fetched it. "But I get to keep one of 'de pain'in's." Because, well.. he'd pulled them out, damnit! So one was his. If they could find some place stable to live again. "An' you welcome, Chere." He shifted back and very carefully pulled his left leg around to bend it at the knee, sitting in a half-indian style, while he drew the other knee up and wrapped his good arm around it to keep him sitting properly.

When she offered the food, Gambit let a small moan escape the back of his throat and a partially gloved hand moved out to take it. The gloves, now, were worn. They weren't torn up yet, but they were made out of stronger stuff than that, made to withstand a small explosion, as long as he could pull his hand away within the first few seconds, and not be directly next to the object. He slowly took a bite and chewed, savoring the taste before giving her a quick wink. "'De bes' t'in' I ever taste', Chere." Only because he was very hungry. And once the half of a bar was gone, he was turning, and carefully laying on his back in a smooth motion, alongside her, so his head ended up just a foot off her knee. "Jus' saw 'de Doct'r, he's doin' okay. Luna, 'de blon'e, an' 'de boy 'dat t'ink I'm a demon, 'dey bot' in 'de gym now, she got a burn' han', he was 'de poor sap got trample' by 'de deer. Bangge' up pretty good. Watanakimaki," Yes, he knew that wasn't his name, but he couldn't remember anything but the first part of it, "He look like he gonna live, too. An' 'de boy 'de Doct'r pull out. An' E'war'. One guy die'.. I talk to him once, on 'de journal. Nice guy." He didn't even know his name. Somehow, that felt wrong.

"But 'dere wasn' much panic goin' on when I lef' 'de gym, so I t'ink 'dey mos'ly got it un'er cont'rl." Or so he thought. After that last after shock? He could be very wrong. Something else could have collapsed.
