[ Action ] Six of Diamonds

[touchofrogue]

[Dear Luceti. Rogue is in a mood. Please stay out of her way today.

It's been three days since Kurt was taken, and the fact that he's in the hands of scientists and she can't go after him is a constant pressure on her mind. She's out of sorts at home, and she knows it, going out of her way to avoid everyone in order to keep from snapping their

[Zenigata meanders into the grocery store in search of ramen and some coffee, and maybe some eggs and bacon to help deal with that hangover when he happens to bump into Rogue. He's a kind guy, figures he can help]

Oh...uh...you don't look so good. Want some coffee?

[Action]

[touchofrogue]

[Coffee? Coffee is usually an excellent offer. But in this case that may mean being social, and Rogue is not in the mood.

Speaking of not looking that good, he looks a bit seedy himself.]

Ya might wanna save that for yourself.

[Voice]

[greatinspector]

[He holds out a cup]
Nah, plenty to go around. I'm just hung over. You look like you could use it more.

[Voice]

[touchofrogue]

[...turning down coffee twice is really just beyond her.

Sadly, she's got this thing about accepting gifts from strangers.]

You keep that. I'll pour myself a cup.

[greatinspector]

[Shrug]
Suit yourself. OH. I'm Inspector Zenigata, from Interpol. I don't think we've met.

[touchofrogue]

[Interpol.

Oh good grief.

She pours herself a cup of coffee first and takes a sip. Coffee is definitely needed here.]

Rogue.

[She can totally tough this conversation out with one syllable answers before vanishing into a headache-driven mist.]

[greatinspector]

You from Earth, Rogue? or somewhere else?

[touchofrogue]

[What is my life that this is a normal question.

The answer is: More coffee.]

Earth.

[Also one syllable! We're doing good here.]

[greatinspector]

[He does notice the syllable thing...]

And...by your accent I'm going to guess American, from the South somewhere? Yea? Whats it like down there?

[touchofrogue]

[...seriously?]

You always this inquisitive when ya have a headache?

[greatinspector]

I'm a detective. Plus, the coffee is doing the trick [another swig]

[touchofrogue]

Good for you.

[She's really not in the mood right now, sorry. She'll just raise the glass at him in a mock salute and start walking off.]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata shrugs, he was never good at dealing with teen angst]

Whatever, kiddo. Good luck with whatever's gotcha down.

[He gives a real salute]
